    Default FAQs

    Thought I’d do as Frith-Rae suggested and start a post with commonly suggested things and developer responses… I don't suppose it could be stickied? And devs please feel free to edit/add to what is here!!

    1. Can we please have Furniture/Decorations/Paintings/etc. added to houses?

Unfortunately the technology required in the client isn't there. And probably won't be given the amount of work (and re-work) that would be required to implement it.

    2. Can dragons carry bipeds/Can bipeds ride dragons?

    3. Dryads have wings; can they fly too, like dragons? Can bipeds get techniques for / learn to fly?

    4. Can we have an in-game mail system?

In game email is something that we have considered, researched how it works in other games, and thought about for Istaria, but we have come to the conclusion that for the foreseeable future, there are many other projects which the team should focus on that take priority. The length of time required to implement an in game email system correctly does not provide enough of a boost in the player's gaming experience that we can justify tabling the many other items on our project list at this time.

    Your suggestions are always appreciated and heard, but sometimes "no" really is "no", and this is one of those times.

    5. Can we custom name our silos and other plot/lair structures with what we put inside them?
    I did not find a definitive developer response but thought this player response was useful:

    I think the particulars on what need to do is in the player mod section somewhere.

    Would be so much nicer if Devs could somehow make it structures had the "customize" selection on right click like armor and weapons and most everything else does.
