Now, AO is a game which has a thick sorta plot and some very hardcore role-players. Some of these people create alternate lives entirely! I once heard of this guy Majin****e, WHAT THE HELL IS HE? He's got like a British accent I think, and he's always breaking s*** and screaming at little girls when things get messed up..... Queer ball.... ANYWAY! The real point of this is that, if so many people are creating "lives" well, er, why don't we have to eat or drink...? Sure you can waste your money on hard liquors and meatloaves.... mmm.... but it doesn't do anything! I miss EQ for a few minutes everytime I buy some Jack in tha game! The people have spoken!! Everyone on planet wants drunkeness! People wanna get smashed and go to the club drunk and stumbling and slurring wofrdz togevver like thish! Then this Majin****e guy will have an excuse for when he tells women that he has come for both them and their daughters!
ALSO! I dunno who else wants this, so bump me on it.... I think that you should NEED to eat and drink to live. It adds a whole other factor to the game, and it teaches those newbs a lesson! Implement this and we won't be seeing so many lvl 2's goin around Athen and NL with their newly bought 13,000 cred Nanofreak trenchcoats! I give those newbs money for weapons! Now they'll have to buy it for food! Hah! Chew on THAT, Majin!
ADDITIONALLY! I think that depending on what you eat, you should be altered for a period of time! Example- ya go to your bosses house for a quiet sup, and his wife makes a steak like a frigging BRICK! You wanna be nice, so you eat a lot. Now, cause ya ate all that heavy fatty meat, you get lower initiatives and less stamina, but more strength and weap skls like Hvy Weapons!
CONTARILY! There should be beneficial effects! Eat some like pasta or granola and you get a little stat increase! You get faster init's and stamina, etc. This would be a great short term stat increase and could help ppl out, due to the OE.
BUT BUT BUT! You should need to eat so much per every some odd hours you play. Otherwise, you lose HP, both max and current, stats slowly go down, and eventually you starve. NOTE: starvation should be pretty hard to achieve. I wouldn' care much for a bunch of Leet rights protestors starving themselves, looking all emaciated and scaring away my customers at my shop in front of the NL stores.
~~(DING! Doing masteries, implants, and more for donation! Selling most anything from Battle suits and bronto boots to bloodworms and hair perms! Send a tell to Majin****e.... I mean ah.... oh shixit...)~~
Whaddaya think? Food could be like the next new thing! Like medsuits! Only not made by Omni's child labor factory workers! Bump me on dis.
