So this is something I suggested almost a year ago in the suggestion forums, but it never got noticed so I figured I’d post it here to get y’all’s thoughts on it:
With the stress mechanic in the server, I feel like theres a lot of potential for cool features and rp. I dont know much about how the mechanic works and what relieves stress in the server but theres some cool additions I would love to see as ways to relieve stress and open rp.
One of the big things that would be cool to see would be purchasable cigarettes or vapes. Basically you could purchase them at a convenience store and they'd relieve your stress, but I'd love to see an addiction feature added where if you smoke cigarettes or do drugs you become addicted. The way I'd imagine it to work is you'd smoke it, it'd relieve your stress, and then after a certain period of time, your stress would start to go up continuously until you smoke or do the drug again. This way to relieve stress would relieve a lot of it but come at the cost of addiction.
Another way to relieve stress would be the addition of spa's and massage spots, which would relieve slightly less stress than cigarettes or drugs would, the tradeoff being that you don't get addicted. There could also be a spot in your motel/apartment/house where you can meditate, which would relieve less stress than spa's or massages, but you wouldn't have to pay for it.
Along with the addiction feature, we could have rehab centers for people to go treat their addiction problems. These Spa's, Massage places, and Rehab centers could all be player ran, which would increase business and rp in the city, and add a whole new dynamic to the server, incentivizing people to not jump straight into doing drugs for fear of addiction.
Also, it would be cool if being addicted to drugs for a long time caused small changes in your characters appearance, for example, meth could give you blemishes and scratches on your face over time or coke would mess up your nose a bit. Being stressed for long periods of time could give you wrinkles or grey hairs.
Additionally, if weed was legalized in the server, it would open up opportunities for dispensary’s to open up and sell marijuana for stress relief, which wouldn’t be addictive, the trade off being that it’s more expensive than cigarettes, reliefs more stress than cigarettes, and gives you a screen effect, this would also allow more rp centered around marijuana, which is something the server has never fully seen and could be cool, and people could also open smoke lounges as places where people can hang out and smoke. Alcohol could also relief stress, which would bring even more purpose to player owned bars, clubs, and liquor stores.
All around, these additions would bring an enormous amount of rp to every group in the server, so please let me know y’all’s thoughts on this.
