| 1: [Dec 19 2010] Pets (Bromri) |
| A special retraining command for pets that are broken due to owners' attacking. This could be both costly and limited in availability (e.g. max 3 per pet), to prevent any possible abuse. This would help offset the various accidental "breaking" of pets that is currently irreversible. |

| The note is borne away to the archives by a small hairless demon. Where could one go to see the "archives" if they wanted to see them? |
| 3: [Feb 07 2011] Tallow in hexes (Barre) |
| Seems changes were made that tallow was to be leftover in the hexes. I remember it was changed to prevent lag for having to allocate memory and updates to each location which had 5,500,50000 ounces of tallow strewn around everywhere. Then everyone got accustomed to there being no tallow left in the hexes after about 20? seconds of creating it. Now tallow is rampant again... anything we should consider has changed? |

| I liked when one could go back in time to the ancient ancient 1990's era notes to compare old thoughts now: http://www.dartmud.com/open/OOC_ideas.html Does not go back beyond the latest file update on the server... Just blame Barre for insisting on a consistent history of ideas and content. |
| 5: [Mar 02 2011] Sollerets (Srisvas) |
| We have gauntlets as an armor upgrade to gloves, would be nice to see sollerets as an upgrade to boots. Could even make them uncomfortable to walk in, by giving an increased hit to movement when moving across land hexes. Of course, folks would use that to train travel, which might be a good option for rowans and elves and such; strap on some sollerets and run through the plains until eaten by a lion. |
| 6: [Mar 07 2011] Researching (Stern) |
| I know it has been a long time since any researching of new... and even for some created but not yet released spells. I was wondering if researching could be brought back if not just to add some fun spells like a fireworks spell(which I think has already been made but not released), or say instead of dog fart we could have braman's burp? Just idle ideas for a fun twist on spells. Of course we could always gun for blue fire bolt but that seems a bit far reaching. |

| Flare is the firework spell. Mages never have an end to their needs and power play spells bfb for example.. Kefka's_ultimate_doom is all you need to practice... learn to like it |

| 9: [Apr 04 2011] More hats! (Rhino) |
| There's already lots of other clothes to wear, but I haven't seen hardly any hats. I'd love it if some medieval-era hats were introduced, as there were LOTS of different types and styles. I'd pull for some more modern hats, but I'm against anachronisms. |
| 10: [Apr 05 2011] Hats... (Barre) |
| Cloth: Balmoral, bandanna, beekeeper's hat, cowl, feather cap, monk kasa, pointed hat, ronin kasa, round cap, scarf, shawl, straw hat, triangular hat, turban, veil. Leather: Leather hat, leather helm, spiked collar?! Metal: Armet, bascinet, cassis, conical helm, heaume, horned helm, kabuko, kettle helm, menpo, plumed plumed plumed plumed ... , sallet, skullcap, spectacle helm, visored bascinet. Probally more i left off that are eastern hats made with cloth. You still need more hats? Cant get enough hats? Other variations of hats? really? How about using some time to research the 13th century hat and clothing style and report back if you find some that are interesting. Thats the idea -- Source Kefka's crafts Barre the tailor folk |

| Horse, cake, pie. Good job Altruen! There can always be more fun with embroidery! |
| 13: [May 26 2011] Hair styles (Rhino) |
| I would like having hair styles in a way that is similar to Pharos' tattoos or the ornate mirror descs. I don't like just having "long black hair" - I'd like to put it in braids or style it or something. |
| 14: [May 30 2011] Re: Hair Styles (Stern) |
| There is an in character item that allows you to change your hair style to a few other limited options |
| 15: [Jun 02 2011] Crafted Buildings (Glor) |
| The Idea is to allow players construct their own buildings. Initially at least I see this only been implemented from Guild or Castle owned land. Where I use the word Castle Below please read as Castle/Guild. Construction of a new building would take place in four phases. Each phase would require a test against construction and the additional skills mentioned below Phase 1. Land Clearance In this phase players would clear the land for future construction creating a new exit from the room from which they start. This phase could use lumbering and require money for survey fees etc. Phase 2. Foundations or Convert to farmland In this phase the player would either lay the foundations of their new building or convert the land for farm use. Using either stone working or farming depending on use. Phase 3. Walls Building raised to roof level. Could use stone working, lumbering or wood working depending on materials. Phase 4. Roof and fittings. Roof added, using woodworking and lumbering. Final fittings done. As part of this phase the player would be required to supply the Long and Short description for the room. As well as any add_items they require, you may want to put a limit on this. Permanent objects such as forges, kilns would be added at this stage. Each phase would have multiple stages and a cool down between each stage to stop instant builds with RO. All materials would need to be supplied by players and would vary by building type. Initially I see the process being limited to utility buildings, barns, potteries etc. Although adding cottages could be feasible. Each completed building would have a door, locks could be purchased and installed at a later date. I'm not sure how this would intact with the normal Castle key system. Critical failures could cause stage progress to be lost E.g. Wall collapse. Buildings could degrade over time and require repairs and maintenance. To allow for badness other players could attempt to sabotage the work carried out so far, with a cool down or attempt limit to avoid RO spams. It might also be possible to require players to be members of a party of at least a certain size to complete some stages of work. Issues: The initial clearance phase would require the creation of a new room object together with permanent modification of the starting room exits that could cause issues if the save fails for any reason. These are my initial thoughts and I'm pretty sure I've not thought through all the issues. Glor. |
| 16: [Jun 09 2011] Re: Re: Hair Styles (Rhino) |
| Yes, I know about that item. I would like an expanded hair-styling option like the tattoo system. I understand limiting your physical appearance, but hair is a very fluid part of the body. In real life, it's very easy to cut and style hair, unlike changing bone structure, skin color, etc. I stand by the idea of hair styling. |
| 17: [Jun 09 2011] Japanese (Adachian) Axes (Rhino) |
| I looked up some japanese-era axes in crafting today, and couldn't find any. I adore Adachian styles, but ultimately I find all of the club-centric hafted weapons to be boring (and cliche with an ogre). I did some research online, and found a few feudal japan-era axes, such as the Masakari, the Ono, and the Chinese Fu. I found both very standard, peasant-type versions, as well as more decorative, ornate versions. Any chance we could have some Adachian-style axes to go with the katanas, clubs, and other asian weaponry to complete the style? |

| I second this thought (a month late) Good find Rhino. Naginata Kama Tetsubo Not enough to specialize my need to blow bodies apart. |
| 19: [Aug 05 2011] Waterproof bag? (Danor) |
| Maybe some kind of (small) waterproof bag made from i.e. a bladder or some other kind of animal part. Waterproof could be to the extent of being able to be forced closed by water pressure so as not to allow more water in. Was there such a thing 'back in the day'? --Dook |
