Can you tell us what kind of impact reputation have?

How is it different from loyalty?

Right now, reputation has no effect.

One of the effects it will have is like loyalty, but independent of parties, so it affects all parties even those who have never been to your shop before. It will also have other effects that have to do with the endgame gameplay that is still a bit secret.

So it is like fame for your shop pretty much?

Yeah, similar.

The basic idea is that customer loyalty you can get by making your customers *happy*. But reputation you get if your customers are successful and talk about it.

Which then makes it more likely for new parties to choose your shop, I suppose?

Make a super long quest that requires multiple stats maybe? I feel that most quests are too focused on few stats - damage and armor.

Also, will quests always have only one way to beat them?

Damage and armour are strong because they are used in fights. That's fine, I already tuned it so weapons and armour are rated less by use count.

Most quests already require multiple stats. Any many quests have more than one way to beat them.

What I don't yet have and maybe want to add is that at least some challenges can be solved with alternate stats, aka you can win it by dexterity or by strength.

He stopped playing D&D because Shadowrun is more interesting. :-)

So what we need is a persistent world Shadowrun game to brjng him back? Check.

Also, is anyone else getting 500 Internal Server errors?

I've had some (when I tried to sell an item for 0 gold to someone, but that was a while ago). Give the info of what you're doing when it happens so Tom can address it if it needs addressing :)
