@Zoltan Alte Socke Thank you so much for taking the time to be detailed in your explanation of this suggestion :) however, this is currently not something our developers would look to consider at this time. As suggested above by @Pauly7 whilst KP Swapping is a very common way of doing things within Fellowships, we have to take into account that not all Fellowships do this, and many Fellowships have a very specific way of doing it. It is for that reason a "KP Swap Assistant" as it were would not work for every FS out there. Each KP Swap Thread will be tailored differently to that of another and to create something so vast within the game that would cater for all potential swap scenarios would be extremely challenging.

Thank you again though for bringing this forward! A very thoughtful idea!

Kind Regards

@Zoltan Alte Socke what we have to consider here is the scale of the proposal. As you can appreciate there are intricacies to this game that rest deep below the surface of what we see. It would have to consider 38 AW's, take into account player favourites, a variety of differing Swap Techniques. It would have to recognise KP, AK, the amounts available. An AW would need to recognise only players from within a specific FS in order to ensure outside NH isn't getting through. All of these possible scenarios, and more, would need to be coded.

It is, and im sure other players would agree, a very well though out idea, however given the magnitude our Team would not take this forward at this time.

It has been noted. And we are very much aware of the various KP Swap Systems that are in effect in many Fellowships around the Worlds. So we'll park this suggestion for now, but keep it in mind for the future :)

In the meantime, im sure many here would happily give you some ideas as to the system they use using the tools available, to ensure a smoother running Swap Thread you can benefit from!

Kind Regards

Zoltan Alte Socke said: I am pretty much sure in that you can't prove me that the fellowships wouldn't use it if there was (not a solution based on my idea above but) any kind of KP Swap Assistant system in Elvenar. It would make the life easier for many mages and players, not to mention all that stress and frustration that come from the mistakes and everyone would be very happy about it.

Isn't it funny that we use message threads and excel sheets in an online game in 2020?
@Zoltan Alte Socke Some Fellowships would use it if it were available, but every player would need to download it, even if it were not being used. Many tablets and older PCs already struggle with the memory required to operate the game.

The Fellowship equivalents (Alliances, Guilds, etc.) in the online games I play find spreadsheets and message threads essential for enforcing rules, sharing knowledge, and pursuing goals. I would not be interested in a game where all my goals were set by the developers. ;)
