Speaking of server messages, I keep getting these messages that I \"shouldn\'t be receiving,\" and then my game quits.  Is this a server problem, or am I to blame?

Why do you have to be 18 to contribute to the game?  I\'d like  to help out, but I\'m too young .  Does Planeshift need any help in the music department?

How do you prevent people who aren\'t interested in alchemy from picking mushrooms just to sell them to someone else?

As the trees mature, they should have tree sections.  A small tree would just have generic wood, bark, and leaves.  Once trees mature, you could begin differentiating between hardwood in the core and softer wood on the outside.  Leaves (once dried) and Bark could be used to make tinder boxes, but would also require flint and steel (supplied by a miner).  I think the game would become more balanced if many actions would require multiple skills.

We could copy the Coat of Arms idea.  That\'s been public domain for the longest time.  However, we wouldn\'t leave the design to just shields.  Armor could have a coat on it, and those who only wear robes could wear those sandwich boards that say \"Eat at Joe\'s\", but they\'d have guild coats.  It might be a little hard to identify at first, but you\'d soon learn which coats are important to your character and guild.  You could put the guild info in the description to aid with guild coat identification.  You\'d have to place a Heraldry expert in town to paint the signs, and abandoned guilds would have to retire their coats to ensure that new guilds can create designs.  I think this would fit into the game environment.  After all, the development team asks music department applicants to have a feel for medieval music.
