    Currently it will be locked to only the store pages until we can take care of some stability and security concerns we have but we are looking forward to the many different uses we can put this technology to.
    o.0 Wouldn't it be better to fix stability and security concearns before players start losing real money?

    Our concerns are in dealing with players accessing third-party sites (which could potentially carry malicious code), not our own internal pages.

    Yea, pretty neat huh? Now engies don't need to spend IP on nanoskills at all! Freeing up a bit of IP allowing engies to work both in combat and as tradeskill monkeys, without seperation.

    When Means say stability and security concerns, he is talking about websites outside of our control.

    When the browser is sandboxed (as it is with the shop) it is secure and stable.

    I like what I hear, but are you sure buying lvls won't be gamebreaking? Think about newcomers, standing there with no-one to team with!

    Hmm...

    Do we have a rough date on when this will hit live?

    Oh boy. Engineers are now MPs with Robots. The Tradeskill buffs basically = self Mochams.

    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    Hmmm. Mostly not too offensive, but I'd have to object to tokens and levels in the shop. Even if ebaying is a problem. This undermines the actual effort put into characters as well as potentially removing most leveling characters from any level ranges if it is a "successful product".

    Almost everything sounds nice, ok i didn´t read the nano documents yet... so wait for teh flames !

    but the things with the shop etc. seem to be well, and most of them meet my expectations.. especially ofab armor becoming tradeable and such...... ah well this all sounds nice enough for me to get some hope, although i know many many others will have another point of view

    I think tokens aren't an issue for regular player anymore, just for twinks. Daily missions give good amount of them, I think I have 4k on my trader at 220 from which 1.5k~ was farmed before dailys. So they are easy now, and likely everyone who isn't just powerleveling will hit 2,5k before 220...

    I guess this question could apply to any of the new Store Items, but I will focus on this item for now. How do you plan to set the cost of these items? See my siggy for obvious reason why I am interested in buffs on demand, as I already have that on a second paid account. I am wholly uninterested in continuing a subscription for a buff toon account when I could just pay as I go for less (if that is the case).
