I like all the ideas InPace, think the amounts might be a little much . . . but the diminishing scale and such all good stuff

Housing could work simillarly, with a 2% discount @ level two, dropped .1% gain per level until it only gives .5% per level
level......-..2.....3.........4.......5.....6.......7.........8.......9...
discount - 2%, 3.9%, 5.7%, 7.4%, 8%, 9.5%, 10.9%, 12.2%,
So for example, lvl 9 career level would give 12.2% discount, on a 10 mil house, that is a 1.22 mil discount. Big money.
You'd also have to be able to sell it for less (which wouldn't really make sense) or else people could literally get infinite amounts of cash.
I personally like Ronin's idea for item discounts: http://forums.awakenedlands.com/showthread.php?tid=10531&pid=159957#pid159957

infinite cash??? how??
most items resell for 50% or less of their purchasing value. therefore, you would LOSE LESS, but gain none..

I think he was talking about the discount on house's not items.

Thanks, Macc! This is precisely what I was talking about, poptart's just a little slow sometimes

huh? i'd have to disagree with this. it can be bought and sold, even rented...therefore i consider it an item.

I presumed people to be assuming that.

I totally agree! Unfortunately, this is one of those circumstances in which actually reading the quoted item would help, Poptart. For convenience's sake, I'll re-quote:

Now, Poptart, will you please read aloud the first word in the quote?

Wasn't trying to bash your idea; I actually quite like it. Unfortunately, I see an exploit in it, and was trying to provide an easy fix.
RE: Reputation-1= % off items Idea - abysmalpoptart - 2010.Feb.06 10:06 AM
my fix was that housing doesnt count as an item, and therefore the bonus is fine and wont ruin anything. end of story, thx
