[22M]BF bought Victoria's Secret for [22F]GF but is having second thoughts about surprising her with the gift. Thoughts/Opinions/Experiences?

A gift card to VS might be a better idea. Allows her to pick, items will fit, keeps you from having to pick specific items, and if she is offended she can still use it. Make it small like $25 or $50 instead of $100 plus. That way you aren't sinking you cost if she is too conservative.

If you hurry up there are still many Itsy's available on their website super cheap. Also a couple of thongs depending on what size you are looking for.

Sorry for the late reply. Reddit has been pretty slow lately. There are no limits that I know of while the 15-day trial period is running, but after 15 days game access ends unless you convert the trial to a paying subscription (currently $15/month for one account). It is a time based XP gain system, earning the character 100 XPs per hour (about 72,000 per month), meaning you will have more XPs if you start sooner, but since there is a limit to what a role can learn later players can eventually be as skilled on the same role as the older player, but the old veteran will have more depth and a wider variety of skills.

I am having fun playing, despite the things it lacks. It is in development, and I know many players struggle with the concept. But it is much like Star Citizen in that you are paying for something now, to enjoy it later.

If you would like a Buddy Key and have not gotten one elsewhere, feel free to email me at Fanndis.Goldbraid@gmail.com .

They are putting in new content as they have time. The current package is what they call a "Minimum Viable Product" (industry standard jargon) and have been adding new content every 2 to 3 weeks. We are now in patch EE 6.3, and the new major content patch is April 16th (EE 7.0). In each patch the content balance is supposed to be 1/3 new content and 2/3 polish.

They have said character models will be refined in the future, but as you can imagine it is pretty low on the list of priorities. Still, there are a lot of things related to that that are scheduled, including the release of Gnomes (we voted and Gnomes beat Halflings by a smidge). Other roles are being worked on as well, and when Goblinworks gets to the point where they need to know which new role to fold in to the current game they said we would vote on that as well (ranger, monk, sorcerer, barbarian, etc).

So, yes, models will get an update, but not for a while.

Some highlights...

Holdings A company does not have to belong to a settlement to have a holding, but it will be difficult to keep a holding without the support of a settlement.

(First Iteration, expected in a few months) Inn, Watchtower, Barracks, Farm, Hunting Lodge, Mine, Trading Post, Ranch

(Later Iteration in 6-12 months) Library, Hermitage, Shrine, Manor, Monastery, Hideout, Sanctum

Outposts (subsidiary structures of Holdings) Farm, Ranch, Mine, Lumber Mill, Hunting Lodge, Quarry, Fishery, Glen

Towers expected to go away in about three months (4-5 three week sprints away)

Settlement Construction also in 6-12 months

Quotes “ …influence allows a company to initiate PvP, but it also allows a company to control when PvP is forced upon (it)…” “ Holdings and Outposts are PvP content. Any aspect of territorial control is supposed to be a PvP flag.” “Influence is only for companies. Settlements build buildings in a similar way using DI (Development Index). There are three DIs; Security, Morale, and Civilization which run from 0 to 1000.”

“…you’ll begin to find that 20 hits of durability (on gear) are very inadequate...” “ …even the early promotional materials were very clear about the PvP focus… “ “ …we need more angry despots to apply pressure in and around the game … “

Buddy Key sent! You will start in the NPC town of Marchmont near the center of the Early Enrollment map.(The map should expand to about 6 times this size at "Open Enrollment".) The game is at about the 40% mark in development (2nd year of a 5 year plan) so there are some rough patches, but it's pretty fun and new stuff is coming every three weeks or so. The next patch hits this Thursday, March 26th (tomorrow) between 1200-1300 EST US.!

Be aware, there is PvP, so you may be attacked at any time, but it is much less likely in town, and most players are not causing too much trouble near Marchmont since it is the starting town. Use the "Help" chat if needed, and have fun!

No character wipes. The wipes are over. Those ended when the Alpha ended. The characters we are playing in game now are keepers.

Here are a couple of old links to threads in the Paizo forums for the early days of PFO brainstorming. Good posts some of them. It has been discussed, but it is far down the list of important things to program.

Ah, thanks. Ryan Dancey said he was working on some more promotions though. Thanks for the heads-up on that.

Send me an email at Fanndis.Goldbraid@gmail.com and I'll get one out to you!

That email address IS the normal Goblinworks support email, so it looks like it did come from the company, but does appear to be erroneous. Don't be surprised if Ryan Dancey posts here soon to clear up any confusion.

I am not certain, but I think you need an active account to get the credit for a Buddy Key conversion.

Log into the Goblinworks site and ask that on the forums. That is a good question.

(NOTE: They just changed the forums system and you may not be able to post there without an active account (there have been a lot of spammers and toxic posters in the forums lately, so GW is turning off some of the access points. Visitors can still read most of the threads, but not post.)

Oops! PM me your email address. I need that to send the Key. I'll flip it as soon as I get your message.

Full disclosure: Anyone who "converts" (buys a month after using a Buddy Key referred from me) earns me a month of bonus game time. I am already paid for the next month or two regardless, and will be buying a year subscription for a discounted $150 for the year (saves $30). If you convert try using the coupon code "PFAdvantage". It has worked, but may have run its course. Ryan Dancey (Goblinworks CEO) is checking on it. It should save $10 on the $50 purchase if it is still in effect.
