My feng shui/chop socky/hong kong phooey temple definitely needs a zen garden. Midnight's Shadow might be a "cult-like secret society of spies, thieves, and assassins" but they still like to get their zen on and keep their chi in order. I've done a bit more work on the "gong". https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/e4ea4666-0e1a-4c0f-a71f-8b6d6febf23e/dd7us04-fa93a2ef-f2b8-4222-80c0-4d609eb63f0f.jpg/v1/fill/w_1238,h_646,q_70,strp/improved_gong_by_sykoholic_dd7us04-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NjY4IiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvZTRlYTQ2NjYtMGUxYS00YzBmLWE3MWYtOGI2ZDZmZWJmMjNlXC9kZDd1czA0LWZhOTNhMmVmLWYyYjgtNDIyMi04MGMwLTRkNjA5ZWI2M2YwZi5qcGciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTI4MCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.MD_Oz-UHmkPN4bjkjIA1SxxFGtwWVSZoN3PdKfpMmQo[/img] MIDNIGHT-2380 on Torchbearer if anyone wants to visit

Yes... and the original Mercy Island and the original Hollows.

I can see both sides of the issue. Side 1: Bases were expensive and required a large number of people to be in the SG in order for the group to afford them. A small SG with only a handful of people wasn't able to accomplish much. For people like myself, who make SGs of their Alts and thus could only have one SG member earning Prestige at any given time, it was a losing battle. The "convert Influence to Prestige" option helped but really only if you had a lvl 50 who got Influence instead of XP. For small groups or solo players, getting/having a decent Base was a real struggle. Side 2: Without some sort of expense, there is no sense of accomplishment. There is nothing to make a SG member feel like they are contributing to the group as a whole because everything is free. Teleporter Beacons used to require a member to collect all of a zone's Exploration Badges while in SG mode. To get certain medical items required SG members to heal so many points worth of damage. Certain defense items required a SG member to have acquired certain recipes or salvage. The same for certain power/control auxillary items. No longer. Everything is free. Other than chucking the random bit of junk in the Salvage Rack, there is nothing for members to do to contribute. There is no sense of satisfaction or accomplishment as they watch the base grow and improve. There is no sense of pride or achievement from knowing they helped make that happen... because they didn't. There is nothing to work towards and earn. It's all free. The only person who gets any pride out of the SG base is the member who built it. At this point, the issue really isn't an "issue". It's more a matter of perspective and a difference in play styles. However, if the game is back to stay (hopefully), a middle ground really needs to be found. ...or not *shrug*

I could be wrong but I seem to recall there having been a way to select multiple items and a way to replicate a selected item. Anyone remember what the keys were for these.... or am I thinking the wrong game?

Not sure if I should be inspired or just give up. :-\

In-base NPC with custom appearances... so the instead of having a trainer or vendor that looks like a generic NPC, we can make them look like actual members of the supergroup (ie: the trainer looks like the group's leader/founder, the vendor looks like the group's healer, etc)

Logging out next to a Base Portal is supposed to work towards the Monitor Duty Day Job. However, this doesn't seem to be happening with the Mercy Island portal. It does if the character is literally standing directly ON TOP of the portal but not if they are simply next to it.
