Setting up Shop 2 - Details on Erdrick's Shop

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sun Sep 16, 2001 2:53 am

Thanks to our brothers, the Ironhammer,
And to Sturm, who bought the 4k wind arrows,
and to ME, who sold almost everything we own,

We have brought the total to 255 silver.

This is for the basement, 2nd floor and wall expansion.
We are also connecting the cave to the Neonfire Tunnel.
If ANY members read this, Please pitch in, we are on a roll!
Thanks to Quain, who gave me half the wind arrows,
and to our newest member, Francesca, who owns more money than
anyone playing Illarion as of now

You all can look forward to a GREAT place!
Hope to see you in Illarion!

Thanks to Francesca and Olorin,
We have brought our Shop Vault overflowing with 350 silver ingots.
Many thanks to them and all who stops by our shop.

We are now selling potions for cheap, although prices will rise by next version.
I stocked up our vault with yellow potions and we now sell life potions again.
Be sure to see me or Quain if you want great deals!

Great news: Selling Weapons and Armor!
We have a rule: Show us the weapon and we will give you an upgrade.
This prevents newbies from getting Fire Swords and Double Axes.

We accept ideas from anyone, whether great or small. Have a good day!

My mail address ist still mail@neonfire.net ... don't care about the addresses where my mails are sent from!

I have been working on webpage a lot, and it is about 2/5 done.

For sections, we have completed:

Shop Info (Information and picture of shop)
Merchant List (Has list and description of SS merchants)
Potions (Looks REALLY good)
Magic Lore (Has 2 pics, it is in progress)
Links

I have now the hard task...
Getting a lot of weapon/armor pictures and prices...
I am currently cutting out pictures from screenshots and pasting them...
Actually this works awesome and I do not really need any pics, thanks.

I have come up with yet another idea in the future:
An apple orchard, where the trees will be in rows and people can pick a LOT of apples.
Our current silver: 407

Stop on by the shop, everyone,
and Bror, Can we set up the webpage if it is not complete?
If not then it may be another month before it is done... I have a life too.

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Sun Oct 07, 2001 5:07 pm

Sure if you want the webpage added, just tell me the webpage address.

Neonfire · Post by **Neonfire** » Sun Oct 07, 2001 9:19 pm

Erdrick, contact me if you need some webspace ...

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Mon Oct 08, 2001 3:39 pm

I finished the magic section, unfortunately I have 1 of each book (excluding Pen)
I have done some clean-up touches, like adjusting font size so page will look good.
Does anyone have some pictures of silver stars, by any chance?

I am working on clearing up the image of the shop... hard work...
I will set up the webpage, then tell to Bror, then you do whatever ya want w/ it Neonfire

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Tue Oct 09, 2001 12:36 am

Finished Herb page, now doing some more touches...
I need pics of armor and weapons now.
If you have a screenshot with weapons and armor on it send it pls.

We have 413 silver thanks to my non-stop smithing of longaxes.
The webpage is now 1/2 finished, after another section is up I will tell the address.
Many have heard of new plans, orchard, basement, new floors...
We will withdraw every plan made so far because the new client seems far from ready.
After the new client we will stock new items and have a better business for you.
We will also build monuments and places people want if it interests us.
Due to the extreme need of mana potions lately, we are selling them for 7 gold each.
That is a fair and reasonable price, and we have a lot of potions.
That is all the updates for now.

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sun Oct 14, 2001 10:13 pm

We will not be selling items FROM the store right now.
(unless by some chance you find us in there)
If you wish to buy something, just contact a member.
I haven't worked on the webpage recently, I am going to start the
Jewelry and Accessories section now.
I will be on getting screenshots, so just say "Hi"
The price of mana potions is still 7... our stock is going down though.
Our vault is overflowing with 416 silver, we have gotton ~5 silver
from my sales of mana potions and making some items.
We have almost every item in stock now, except when the page is
totally finished we will ONLY sell what we have listed.
I may put up a page saying what we BUY...
This page won't be needed if my members would contribute a little.

Hear ye! Hear ye!

The SilverStar Website is now complete!
We have left out the weapons and armor section on purpose...
I will give the link ONLY to Neonfire, which then he will
shorten it and post it up.
The name will be, www.silverstar.neonfire.net
Thanks for all donations and not taking screenshot items.
I need more time to upload the new version of the website
(I have a few additions to make, some final clean-ups)
So, I will E-mail address to Neonfire and he will post his version.

I am having CPU trouble lately so I need to make this internet connection work here... darn FTP... can't get my cpu to respond to my main cpu...

Also, the 10000th players have arrived! We have entered a new Illarion!
This shall be the 10k era! Cheers!

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sat Oct 20, 2001 6:20 pm

Ah, it does?? Urks, lets go somewhere else then.
I made some more touches, now just to get the new version uploaded...
I hope to post it later today.
And I need to see Neonfire online, we need to talk.

News
- new shipment of Mana potions, we are now going over 100 potions each.
- Restricting purchases on strong healing potions, we are running low.
- Trying to get rid of bulbsponge mushrooms, trade or selling them now.
- Oil lamps and fish for sale. Trouts are 2 gold, fish are 1.

Now, If Neonfire would be so kind as to meet me in-game...
I wouldn't post that one up YET... We need a banner too.

Have fun, guys.

poison potion isnt beer... its urine...
i thought everyone knew that... you cant die by beer...
at least you cant if you have a normal alcohol tolerance

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sun Oct 21, 2001 2:24 am

We need opinions.
Later I will set up a system for rewarding the members.
For now check it out and tell me what you think.

Galin · Post by **Galin** » Sun Oct 21, 2001 2:31 am

THESE PRICES ARE MUCH TOO CHEAP!

Leif · Post by **Leif** » Sun Oct 21, 2001 8:54 pm

thats for the merchants to decide... if they decide they will sell for that prize... then they are allowed...
free competition... its more real...
we have a market economy, not plan economy...
we arent communists or anything ( well IM not... )

Neonfire · Post by **Neonfire** » Thu Oct 25, 2001 9:30 pm

Okay, here's the shortlink:

Galin · Post by **Galin** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 5:30 am

I do not think things should be so cheap! it is ruining the economy the poorest person can afford plate armor and a huge amount of potions a lot of times!

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 1:54 pm

Should I raise the prices...?
I could raise the potion price about 5-10 gold each.
In my opinion, they should be sold for more, but
I have seen peddlers selling them for 5 gold each.
I actually thought these were too much...
It is getting too easy to make potions, thats why.

GL treason · Post by **GL treason** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 5:10 pm

thes prices are really cheap. we wandering merchant sell for higher prices.
u can always go down with the price (bout 1-2 gp per potion) but selling them for those prices normaly would be a waste of the good work.
i would rather not sell them then give them away for those prices.

potion prices have raised in the last weeks and months anyway...

Galin · Post by **Galin** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 7:14 pm

I think that if all the druids stop selling for cheap they could easily control the market for potions and make huge profits!
note: I am only saying this to make people realize that it would be a good idea to charge more.

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sun Oct 28, 2001 2:12 pm

I will raise the prices in another month or so...
Waiting for Quain or Filippa...
Right now I believe your case, so I will make sure they are raised.
You might want to buy them now, though...

Galin · Post by **Galin** » Mon Oct 29, 2001 7:18 pm

I always haggle up the price if i think it is too cheap anyway.

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sun Dec 23, 2001 4:51 pm

Ok, there was a massive CPU crash on my personal CPU, so the website should be down for a little while. All SilverStar Rules and Plans still stand.

*UPDATES*

- A great deal of thanks to Olorin, who is helping a little with the funding.
- I have been mining constantly and have brought up the silver count to 433 Silver Ingots!
- We are looking for a trustworthy new member, since no members are on now.
- By next version we will start ordering walls and floorboards, to make the shop much bigger for your convienience.

Really dumb question: Where is this "shop"

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Fri Dec 28, 2001 1:16 am

UPDATES:

We have found a new crew member! Peace Keeper has joined the guild!
We have 438 silver now and the shop is beind the library.
BTW could a GM move the shop pls, in next version?
And Peace Keeper: I have all of those potions and weapons with me, see me later.

Setherioth · Post by **Setherioth** » Fri Dec 28, 2001 7:50 pm

This might be a bit off topic but...Bror, when do you think we can expect the next version to be released?

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Wed Jan 30, 2002 12:01 am

I have been working my BUTT off making potions and silver and heres an update:

VAULT is up to a PERFECT 500 SILVER! (Thanks to a 63-silver donation by Quain)
We have about 200-300 of each potion now. (And 700+ bottles)
We are working on a better website, and will be up soon.
We have a seat in the Guild Meetings.
We are currently working on a class system for Silverstar...
Merchants are asked to play a tiny bit more often and contribute silver!
We are ready to make the new house order due to upcoming version:
- Basement, 10x10 with 2 wine barrels.
- 2nd floor, with beds (?) if possible, at least 2 tables in center.
- Wall expansion, that will make it 10x10 hopefully.
If I can meet with a GM online that would make it much easier to explain.
Thanks, all.
