character's unique "history buff"

[iamahh]

as characters develop it would acquire a passive buff that affected uniquely it's products and activities

this buff is randomly modified by the character's history: activities, terrain, food, curios, all could affect the buff randomly

this could add that uniqueness to characters and it's products, if that is a desirable thing

I really like this idea. I'm afraid it might encourage botting since bots can repeat the same activity 24/7, though.

Make a farm bot, feed it only curios that give farming buffs, now you have even more of an advantage over real farmers..

indeed, I was thinking keep everything randomized

if the buff works roughly like a hash function, you could take inputs at random intervals, from random sources(terrain, season, food, curio...), so it really seems like "fate"

just leads to occasionally someone being very happy with the way their character turned out, and others being very UNHAPPY or indifferent

wurm online had an affinity system (extra skillgain to the affinity'd skill) that pretty much meant "If you got this on your character in the right skill and not a useless one, it was suddenly worth a lot more to prospective hardcores" so tbh I totally spammed alts to see if i'd get a decent one out of any of them

no implementation of this idea could be fun unless its purely flavor in which case, pass, because they should have better things to dev than that.

Simple solution is to only give these buffs to people with subscriptions, and they would be account specific. This way spamming of alts could be avoided.

okay let me roll through my login keychain of ~200 characters until i find a good bonus

oh wait its shubla counter-suggestions there's no way you actually meant it
