Questions:


If you could declair any house to be a studio and then recieve a lowered mind cost in it how would you feel?








My feeling on this is that there have to be some perks to an image design studio or nobody will have one. For med centers and cantinas, the perk is painfully slow healing and registration. For the ID studio it should be mind costs and registration. I would rather not be able to register at a private dwelling or it would negate the studio - same with lowered mind cost. I feel that the whole point of the building is to have a city structure which has benefits that you can't get without that specificstructure.






100% agreement here. With the promise of always-on lighting coming, even with better lighting the studio needs another advantage. Doctors can't register in a small house, nor can dancers or musicians. Registration has to be one of the perks of a studio. As for the lowered mind costs…still not a huge fan of that, and I'd rather have buffing abilities, but as n'Jessi pointed out—let's not get so wrapped up in new content that we delay our building for it. So for now I'd be happy with lights and registration, anything else is just a bonus.

4/ What would be the draw of putting up such a building as an ID?
5/ What would be the draw to visiting such a building as a customer?


Have temporary IDsthat can only be done in the ID building


  1. Party IDs, IDs that last only 24hrs or until canceled by customer also comes in wild colors and designs(increases ID business)
  2. Disguise IDs, IDs that last only 1 week or until canceled by customer (increases ID business)

Also IDing rooms should have adjustable lighting also maybe an better IDUI when in the building?.


As an option, Spa stuff like hot tubs and massage tables could be placed inthe building






An Image Design Terminal - That is a terminal for Viewing ID options and not doing IDs. and maybe selling ID craftables like lipstick.


Weight loss Hot Tubs, for the players who can't resist those chef goodies, just want a reason to wear that new swimsuit and socialize.


Detox Steam Rooms, for the junkies Ummm? players who can't resist spice. With fee on door to enter.

You know, I think maybe we'd be fine with regular house....


....if we got specific FURNITURE. Think about it! A hair cutting chair, one of those hairdryer chairs, a masseuse table, a vanity, full length mirror, a spa/jacuzzi/etc.


Also, I read somewhere IDers wanted buffs of some sort? How about tying it in with the masseuse table? A massage could buff stamina or something. Maybe heal substat wounds?


Just some thoughts.

I think having a building that lower mind cost and has really good lighting would be great.

Before we can decide on a building type we have to figure out what essential skills ID's can begin to provide that will be in constant need from players. And for this I'm going to go with my old idea of having ID's be able to heal BF like the other entertainer professions by using skills such as massage etc that would fit in a resort/spa type setting. This would bring us more in line with the other entertainer professions & give us more of a purpose.


And the perfect type of building to tie all this together would be a resort/spa type building like the NPC city hotels. They could be multipleroom facilities with multiple uses,& able to be placed & operated by several different master professions such as Image Designers, Dancers, Musicians, Chefs, & Doctors. This would put all non combat buffing & healing professions in the same arena which would be ideal & VERY REALISTIC in a resort/spa setting.

Well in my opinion it should be called a spa. After all that includes, hair, facials sometime even exercise areas.

for a building i say have certain items that increase roleplay like a masage table which the person lays face down on and it "undresses" them and puts a towel over them


when using this item it will decrease mind costs on all body mods and maybe let you exceed them by 5 or 10%


this should be a craftable devise made by archetechs with maybe de parts and the quality(which is visible on the item) impacts the amount of mind lowered or the amount over spec mods



this will let image designers distinguise themselves from others like how weaponsmiths make better weapons, this will also bypass experiemntation on our part which i know many disdainm



there should be items such as steamrooms, hottubs, makeup tables etc for each mod



-Biana(maybe make eacdh items components or objects craftable by other profs)

Can you register in player city cantinas? I know you can in NPC city cantinas though I've heard it doesn't work properly?


Do you guys think customers would be more likely to come to an ID building if it were in an NPC city? It could have social hangout potential like a cantina, but without afk dancers/musicians A place to gather with other ID's in your area?
