loosing favorite hues to GM's or Guilds

Post by aintfungalcream »

i understand when someone buys a color for a guild its no longer avaliable. and i respect that.
same when someone becomes a GM they get their own color.
but many times ive had a GM or a guild get the color i was using and have to change it.
which doesnt bother me.
but i think for every color that gets bought by a guild or taken by a GM.
should be replaced with a new color. im not thinking anything too crazy and drastic.
but on other servers ive see some really cool colors. like this one black/red mix that was called abysmal
and another that was speckled like our (1576) which isent avaliable. due to guild or GM, but it wasent just blue and white speckles. it was like a light green, blue, white, a light pink, and i think a light orange. but never the less. on my old server that was my favorite color. 8)
and when i can to this amazing server i was kinda let down that it wasent here..
but back to the subject. i my self would love to see some new colors. cause down the road more guilds are gonna buy colors. and the the hue room will be empty, if none of them get replaced.
im just tryin to fix a problem before it actually becomes a problem
ohh and also a suggestion we shold be able to buy the Ethreal hue with ED's.
like idk maybe 200 ED per item or something like that :mrgreen:
sorry if anything is miss spelt. its really early.

I have no say or power in what happens, but this idea seems very sensible. +1

If I remember right just recently +Colibri reopened a lot of the colors that had previously been purchased by now defunct guilds. So patience young grasshopper and one day you too can be that color.

yeah i knew about that. which is a start. an awesome one at that too..
but have you seen how many colors are out of the Hue room?
and how many more guilds are starting up now also.
wont be to long till we're back where we were at befor he added the colors back
im just staying. some new colors would be awesome. not old new ones. fresh new ones :mrgreen:
and i know the GM's have better things to do than code colors. but it should just be some kind of project

The entire shard uses 1576, so go for it. I've tried to find who owns it, since I found it 14 months ago, to no avail. Just find a bunch of people using it that have no idea who the guild is.

As to the hue problem, to put things in perspective, there are somewhere between 950-1000 hues, not including the ones at the south end. Of the "good" hues that are left, there are about 95 reserved hues, meaning 10% of the hues arent available at the moment.

There's two solutions to this. As someone said, add more hues, or start taking away from others. Seeing as its 2 mil to RESERVE a hue, then another 2mil per tub (totaling 12-14mil in all), its kinda harsh to take away the hues any earlier than 6 months. So, we need more hues.

personally i like to find someone who i don't like, and find out their hue color. if it's in the hue room i'll make an alt and then get a guild stone. then i would lock that color from said player. of course i'd offer him unitubs for everything he has dyed that color. :) hey i can't pk so i have to be mean some how.


but... was joking i don't do this but it can be done. :sick:

lol so im not girping or anything..
but he says "go for it" then see's me with the hue and reports me for having it on my bow...
now that is just ridiculous
this is why i think we need some newer hues.
like maybe a couple more speckled colors..
or something
