@Soliqe
If I'm not wrong there are three main ways of co-AE game supporting:
Verification benefits (which only comprise games preceding the current game, so AdventureQuest does not have any verification shops), so the only game which can include verification benefits is Herosmash, which is still in its preliminary stages and does not directly support AQ/DF/MQ/WF as well, only AQW at the moment because of the closeness in playing style.
Another thing: how should verification be implemented? Even non-varium players can have tiny (and near useless) amounts of varium, through selling back items with credit enhancements. The problem is that the elite in EpicDuel are not defined by permanent memberships, but an elite currency. Unless you would limit this to players who have bought the 10k varium package, which would solve the above problems.
The other support feature is storyline/art crossovers. EpicDuel's storyline is radically different from the other AE games (though I'm sure that they can easily merge it to suit the AE universe), but its art is nice and can tie in with the other AE games, possibly excluding, ironically, the sci-fi game MechQuest. It will take some time to implement these though, as the art will probably be quest rewards for an EpicDuel crossover, which requires some coordination and explanation to avoid messing EpicDuel's storyline up.
The last one is advertisements through Ballyhoo, which EpicDuel currently does not have but is apparently on the devs' to-do list. I hope to see an EpicDuel ballyhoo (free credits/small amounts of varium FTW), and I agree that the Ballyhoos of the other AE games should include an EpicDuel advertisement.
@topic (lol)
I think that the verification benefits of all games should be the same, because the disparity between an armour, weapon, bike, robot?! and hairstyle is extremely great. Of course, each armour/weapon/hairstyle/bike/robot should adhere to the style of the respective AE game. A verification shop would be great (I hope that there will be no varium items though. Imagine: the reward for paying in another AE game is to pay in EpicDuel :P). An achievement for each should be given.
Of course, implementing the above would spend much time, and the community already complains so much about all-varium updates (imagine their flaming over this). The devs should take their time with this and do it in their free time (do they even have free time), then release it with some other cool features so the complaints would not be so heated.
