Okay so I'm starting to think about who I'm taking to Avalon and culling my hordes of alts. So far I have it narrowed down to Layne, Ada, and Gillespie. I'm realizing that this whole system feels stifling to players like myself who tend to feel most comfortable with a half dozen characters at my disposal.
I know that over time I can earn more RP and bring over more alts and that's fine, but I was wondering if maybe we might be able to convert some alts to NPC and "buy" them back later or else "sell" them for use as NPC and use the points towards another character.

I think it best if the NPCs stay NPCs. And while I know it might be stifling at first, I think the point is that you're meant to commit to maybe one or two and see them grow and improve.
I'm just bringing back Romulus and dumping all my RP points into him. I imagine I will have my hands full playing NPCs anyway. I might bring back Leon? (Who will be young again, unlike the brief stint where he was an adult. I may go with him being 18 though instead of 16-ish.)
Main difference between raising prices to discourage buying something and lowering prices to encourage buying something is the same as if any store did it. There's prolly a reason that stores go with the sale method. XD
As for alt-o-holics, you are welcome to make as many characters as you wish. No limit to the number of characters you can have. Just can't have them all be super powerful all right at creation if you make them all at once.
So with professors, I figured they would get RP bonuses for making classes. Though, not just for the process of posting a class but for people actually taking their class. I was debating having some reward every time a student does their assignment (like 1RP per student), but I am leaning towards the idea of a larger bonus so long as anyone completed their assignment (like 10RP if anyone does their class).

I think just doing a lump sum instead of an individual student count would be more fair. There will be more popular classes and less popular ones. We also wouldn't want to pressure anyone into doing a class they don't want to.
So, Imma do a big overview after rereading this thread, but what I wanna note is a neat feature I found when playing around with the money system plugin- they have something called "Wages". Basically, you can set it to pay out at intervals (daily, monthly, weekly, etc) and tell it to pay different amounts based on total posts per account. Additionally, it has a staff wages option, which is based on member group.
So, for example: it appears as though we could make it so that, after you hit 25 posts, you start getting 5RP per week regardless of activity. Perhaps once you hit 100 posts you start getting 10RP a week. Alternatively, you might just be getting 50RP a month for being staff.
Also, for the RP payouts for posting, you can set custom amounts for certain boards. The main benefit it might have for us is if we ever had a special event and made a board or sub-board dedicated to it (like we did with the shadow war), we could have boosted RP gain from posting there.
Methods of gaining RP: -Posting: 1 RP/post -Special event board: xRP/post (varies based on event) -Refer a friend: 25 RP/friend (link to details) -Joined from an old site: 250 RP -House influence: 1 RP/10 influence to winning house each semester -Advertising rewards: xRP (link to details) -Professor running a class: 10 RP per class completed, 50 RP max per semester (students only get influence) -Council quest: 5 RP per participant, 10 RP to council member if any complete -Income: xRP (varies based on post count)
