The Society

There wasn't anything particularly amazing about today. I only logged in for just over an hour and recruited 3 members into 'Planetside-Psionics', the society that I am a part of.

Basically, our society's aim is to teach other players the powers of mindforce. You can heal, attack, focus and teleport. All of these skills are useful whether you're in a group, solo or just making friends. The higher skill you have the more healing or attack you do. Focus allows you to use mindforce whilst getting attacked which is handy if you receive aggro from other monsters during your hunt. Finally, teleport allows you to teleport within a certain radius (about 10mins running radius), and can save a vast amount of time.. and it looks cool!

We are not only based on mindforce, although that is one of our concerns. We have gone on hunting trips everyday since the creation of the society, and as we are fairly new, we are especially recruiting members that are also new to the game. They require sweat, so that they can sell it to move on in the game (as I did, and everyone else who hasn't deposited has to). So.. naturally we organise sweat parties, so that one member 'tanks' the mob, one heals (if needed) and the rest sweat it until it cannot be sweated anymore (known as being 'dry' in the game).. and then that monster is killed, and we move on to the next one. The majority of the sweat will go to the newer players who need it, and then they can either save up for bulk amounts (which are worth more in trade), or they can sell it to us more-experienced players for highly competitive prices. Therefore, we can either sell it on (as we would have bought everyone's, we'd have it in bulk), or we would keep it to use in crafting to make Mind Essence, which is the 'ammo' used for mindforce.

Already, you can see that we teach through the society and that we help out newcomers to the game. There are bigger plans, however, that are in the pipeline. We are trying to buy some land on Calypso where we will be able to have a shop to sell loot. Hopefully, we will be able to break even (get our money back) within a few weeks of doing this, and then we can expand on our land, with the hope of creating a small village. Other players will be able to 'rent/buy' flats and houses around the village for which they can either create into shops or where they can turn into homes. It is more likely that shops will become popular, and then a percentage of sales done in each shop will go to the landowner, which will bring us to be slightly richer. Soon after this has been established, we will be able to start building larger buildings and buying more land. Obviously, this seems a bit far-fetched, but in my opinion, it will be easily done in a year or so.

Anyway, I must go for a run, and shall return to blogging tomorrow.

My goals still remain the same; not been able to advance on them today.. maybe tomorrow!
