Yeah okay, I believe that since this site has been running for some time, I believe it is time for some character price change. Now, before anyone gets 'testy', I do have reasons for this. I believe that the site has had an "overpopulation" of similar characters. When I say "similar", I mean that a lot of characters here have almost the same ability, or share the same breed. Haven't you noticed? For example, I have been seeing way too many wolf hybrids with assassin fangs. Get my drift? I also believe by up-ening (or in some cases, lowering) the price that it will bring more diversity within the site. Now, this is a proposal but please take this into serious consideration. Thankyou;

I agree with the prices with the fighting techniques and some of the characters. Though I have to say that some of the prices are a bit extrem but thats understandable. Lector and Thunder's Assassians Fangs I can understand as well as the Zetsu Tenrou Battouga, but with Tesshin's Imitation Battouga that seems just a bit pricy. Now with the HellHounds I think it should've gone up at least 50 or 100 for it, but this is just my opinion on the subject.

I think the site was in dire need of this, this is wonderful! :3
The prices are just fine, IMO. There's a severe over-flow of characters with these techniques/breeds and I'm glad Teffi stepped up and changed the fees. ^^

Oh, I didnt know how people would react to this lol. But I'm glad both of you liked this ^^. But no Roxie, I didn't change it just yet. Maybe after other people have a say I will make it official..And I'm up to tweeking..that is if it is reasonable =D
ps//I made the prices for the Fangs & Battouga more expensive

I agree with Teffi and Roxie. The prices are good and it would put a strain on the techiques and characters for a while. That way no two characters are exactly alike anymore. Cause I have noticed it as well, that characters are becoming to alike and some canines are becoming to common.

I like this idea ^^ It will be good to change things a bit. And, if this becomes official, you'll probably have a fox coming, LOL. Probably will even if it doesn't tho... >_>
Anyway, I agree with the prices, cool! XD

Thanks for the support..
But I've been thinking about this more, actually. If the price is risen, wouldn't that just make character creation slow instead of having the characters different? Like let's say someone REALLY wants a wolf that has Zetsu Tenrou Battouga..Wouldn't that individual just save up that money? I feel like this will be a 'domino effect'..Like everyone would just create 'filler' characters just to get the cash to create the characters they really want. Do you think we have to go more drastic? Like ban some things for a while? As in, temporarily?[/size]

Hm... I think the will be oaky for now... I Really want ot have a fox character, so this works pretty well with me ;3 and I honestly think people will want to buy more coyotes and dingos with these prices, wich will create much diversion.

True enough... Maybe if a temporary ban on battle tactics goes into place, we could add a few new ones or something. That way we're not really taking anything away, but getting some new moves up to par with the more popular ones.
Even if creation is slowed, at least it would be a sign that people are thinking what to make next rather than a cookie-cutter character. Anyway, I don't think it'd hurt to give it a shot. After all, the worst that happens is we'll just wind up where we started. Perhaps a few filler-characters less. ^^;

I definately agree with some of these price changes, but some seem a bit extreme to me. I can see changing assassin fangs, but why 500 for it? Its not like its anything special other than super sharp fangs. I'd say 250ish would be more reasonable. And the battouga does need a price increase as well, but again, 500? I'd say 300-350 at most.
Also, why increase the price for hellhounds? They're already pretty expensive already for paying for its species/breed already, and its not like we have a huge influx of them.
I mean, if we get 3 bucks a post, it'll take forever for new members to save up to get these abilities/breeds, and that can be discouraging. Especially since many people who may join aren't that active/are busy/etc. We don't want to scare them away from becoming part of our family.

Roxie, I'm totally for creating new abilities/magic. I was actually thinking about it a while ago, but never had the balls to say so lol. And I believe we can ban some things. I believe the fangs, Battouga, wolf, and wolf hybird are the most abused out of all.
As for what Ryuujin Youkai said, yeah we don't want to discourage new members, your right. But I think that's where Roxie's idea comes to play. If we create other options (which will be cheaper than the original), members wont be discouraged..or at least too discouraged lol.[/size]

I agree with Ryuujin the prices for abilities/characters that aren't used as much, shouldn't be raised and if you tempoary ban wolves and some of the others that does make room for new characters/abilities.

I must say that, would it not be easier just to ban creation of wolf and wolf hybrids? Especially since in today's newer group of rper's to use wolves instead of flat out other things like a certain breed of dog and/or other canines? I like everyone's above ideas, but I honestly, and personally, think the price for hellhounds is a little bit expensive. I was hoping to create one of my own, but now it is going to take three times as long to even come close to think about creating her, or altogether forget about it. But these are just my thoughts..
