Code: Select all

herbflation
həːbˈfleɪʃ(ə)n/

noun
noun: herbflation

ECONOMICS
A general increase in supply of and fall in the value of herbs.
"the recode opening of this guild overflowed Genesis with skunk berries, causing massive herbflation"

All jokes aside, I actually like this change. Doping should be easily-available to all in Genesis, ranger and goblin alike.

I know there is a flames subject like this, but perhaps we can use this one for a civilized discussion (looking at you, Draugor and Amberlee!) about the global change that mass proliferation of most sought-after herbs will have on Genesis.

The biggest problem that's going to happen is if someone starts using it on herbs like Wilcol. Sells for 1.5 plats a herb. Someones about to become the new RMC Leader.

The Reserve Botanist will put some deflationary measures in place. He is just mulling over what that should look like.

NO! Keep the printing press going! Just... one... more... skunk...

But in all seriousness, I am just happy that at least a couple evils got in on this gorgefest at least for a day or so, as opposed to Valars themselves quietly reporting this and keeping tens of thousands of herbs that are supposed to spawn 40-50 at a time ;)

Populate 1000 rooms, and the game can potentially create over a million skunks over the duration of an arma.

First man to become a plat millionaire wins a new top hat and monocle!

Have Valars seed all the Krynn war plains, and Arman doesn't need to recode anything there to create *real* conflict :P

edit: also, since it takes 10 seconds to find a herb (I am guessing even the haste spell doesn't help here!) then the limit on how many herbs a single person can find during 1 arma is somewhere around 120,000, so millionaires are a few armas off, at the very least.
