Unique Summons

[Goat_gurl]

One interesting option might be to reduce the bind period to a day, or half a day. Only one person would be able to keep the creature out at any given time, but there would be (nearly) no reservation period otherwise.

As long as there would be no greater cost(s) beyond the initial binding Fee, this is a good proposal, for bound usage limited to 1/RL day. That would mean a Players would have to log in every 24 hours + 1 minute in order to consistently re-bind their Named Summons.

AFAIK, you only pay the price once, even in the current system. It's just that you lose the ability to summon the silly thing for the next two weeks if someone steals it from you. (In the proposed new system, you'd only lose it for a day at a time, which is much less painful and would likely eliminate most of the hoarding behaviors we've observed in the database.)

I would rather binding period didn't exist so that anyone could use summon anytime they wanted. The only restriction being that the summon could only be in one place at once since it is an unique existence. Once the summons's duration runs out someone else could summon it freely.

We can't track the creature's presence so precisely, I'm afraid, especially across multiple servers. A 12-hour binding period is the best I can promise, assuming there's no major objections from anyone.

IIRC in the past there was some talk about adding more unique summons to alleviate the issue somewhat. If that’s still possible.

well dont let them books have different text so you can have the same summon name but with different text then it is not unique anymore make sure that you keep the book or eles it will not work you dont need a book if you ge the name fro msome one eles
