Congratulations to all who have helped out with DDOCast! A good listen again.

For reaper point accumulation I think having it account wide for the purpose of accessing the reaper vendors makes a lot of sense. I'm fine with the long term grind but I play all 4 of my characters about the same amount and I feel that having reaper points accumulated on an account basis would further promote playing multiple characters. Ultimately promotion of playing multiple characters is more conducive to the longevity of the game.

If the reaper vendor point totals were set at a level to be opened by individual characters, there might be a bit of a backlash from the player base if you increase those numbers with a shift to account wide reaper point accumulation. What you could do is keep the unlock numbers at the same level with the three vendors that exist now and say when the first person unlocks the second vendor, add a fourth vendor with a higher total and have the rewards spread evenly over the 4 vendors. (maybe even include a couple more goodies in there!)

Congrats! DDOCast introduced me to podcasts in early 2010 and I've been listening since.

Oh and it's "raid timer bypass", although it seems you've made "bypass timer" an official word now.
