Random thoughts and ideas (some are not new) about the mud or to help the mud move forward....
1. How about separating singing from magic? so you could have rooms that are !magic but bards could still sing and vise versa.
2. A new shopkeeper for questtoken items. Make it more than just 2 reasons to go to Arcadia. Especially if the inventory changes on a crash, that way people have to choose which shopkeeper to run and not just run nienna and hoard everything.
3. Speaking of Arcadia, how about a shop where you can personalize an expensive item. You would pay X coins to have a personal flag set for this item. In the case this item was lost instead of dt'd only that char could use. Only that char could pay for the flag to be erased to move/trade/sell.
4. Casting weapons and/or items. I thought years ago, when they put in all the elemental procs, we were moving toward this.
5. Creating a chat line. I posted this in Cunning's threat. A command like create channel pbs would create a private chat line pbs. invite cunning channel pbs would invite Cunning to the channel. The channel would disappear when the creator char logged off.
6. The Cleric spell restore should come much later. Rejuvenate should be before restore. Also clerics should get a single spell that cures plague for a high mana cost before restore. I would also suggest that paladins get it as well. And also for Paladin a spell named Cleanse Wound which would remove poison/blind/plague.
7. A room flagging system. I think we still have if we use the bug command it records the room we are in but what if we want to suggest regen rooms, overwhelming rooms and don't want to log in our imm to find the room number and wait 4 days to play in that zone again?
8. Here's one for Anton...Eq sets...getting pieces of eq that work together that give you a bonus. If you gather all armor of a certain set it gives you extra ac or extra dam...etc. This would also work well with casting items. You collect all fire armor pieces and your armor gives off heat damage or something like that
9. Eq that use more than one slot. Say a piece of Eq that uses head, body, and legs.
10. Questors+: run quests! A couple of times there have been people that spent time planning a quest but only had two people available/wanting to run in it and didn't do the quest because it had a certain whatever approve. Allow them to run the quest anyway, that way people will learn not to miss nice planned quests. (I understand we don't want people just giving stuff to their friends, but if they are trusted they should be trusted until they prove they can't be.)
11. And the last thought for the day is this...Admin should post on the board every once in a while so players/potential players know there is life in the game. Even if it's a "That's a great idea", "We are not set up to do that at this time", or "Thanks for the input" every once in a while. It's a good feeling to know you are not being ignored. The webboards are just as good as a gauge as the gossip channel on how a mud is doing, if they are alive then the mud is. I kept hearing "Good idea, email it to Kailyn" isn't the board so people can post ideas so not to spam up the admin email account?
