Rebranding Herion


Layheeee

Recommended Posts

Description of the idea: Changing / Rebranding Herion to a more accurate representation of what it would be in the Time Period.

Why should this be added?:

After doing a bit of research, I found that opium, I think, would be a better fit for the server than heroin. I found several reasons, which will be listed below, but one of the most major ones, I believe, is the continuity of "opium dens." These were extremely common in the early to late 19th century, and I believe it would make a lot of sense for it to be switched to opium.
 

  • Opium Dens: This would open up the possibility for semi-historical accurate opium dens - Typically run by Chinese or asian families and or crime organizations. This would be a great fit for the already popular Asian LARP made popular by Tiny Tokoyo and Tiny China.

  • Cultural Use: Opium had a deep history in various parts of the world, especially the East. In contrast, heroin was relatively new and mostly unknown in Europe’s underground drug scenes by this time.

  • Abundance & Availability: In the 1930s-40s, opium was likely still more abundant in Europe than heroin, though heroin was becoming more common in certain circles. Opium's historical trade networks and the fact that it was still used for medicinal purposes meant it had a more significant presence.

What negatives could this have?: More work for the Developers to rewrite the name of the drug, as well as the Governing body of LARP having to rewrite their documents to incorporate the changing of the name - I don't feel as though the models need to be changed at all.

Additional information:  I believe this would be a simple but very Important detail that would overall really improve and immerse the player within the universe we are trying to create.
