I would also like to know about cross-clbum equipment. There are a couple of Troll items in one of the Camwhore shops, and I was wondering why; whether all shops would be available to all players in the future, or what.

We did intend to have more “general stores” with items for all clbumes (not to mention delicious penny candy!), but it can get kinda tricky with all those slots; i.e., players would become way too powerful if they could buy and equip one of every type of item.

We sorta ran out of time towards launch, and just decided to make a few clbum-specific stores. “Stunglbumes” was a holdover from earlier days when we didn’t plan so well.

We haven’t decided what to do exactly. There will definitely be clbum-specific stores still, but we would like to offer more possibilities. Some of the ways crossover could occur is:

– Stores will cater to all clbumes, but one clbum primarily. To get the link to these stores, secondary clbumes may have to complete a mission or pay off an NPC. Otherwise, it might show up at the Ppwn Shoppe randomly.

– Users will only be able to access certain stores, but they can “drop” items for players a la Diablo. Perhaps they could sell or even auction them in the future, but this will take some fancy programming.

– We always intended to have hybrid clbumes…maybe when that’s in place, Whores and Trolls will shop side-by-side. But that’s on some AD&D-type ****.

We ourselves don’t know where we’ll take this…but one thing’s for sure: I love wearing women’s underwear.
