Random Drops where you can find something new from a diffrent monster every time.. some times are rarer to drop then others .....

Stuff you can put on to make u look more cool like rings and Jewalry and Hats n stuff.....

You Can Hire a market stand and Put stuff to sell on the market stands and players can buy it even when ur offline and it leaves the money in like a bag near the stand where only the owner of stand can open and collect...

Food Bar and Stamina .....

You can build ur own house and stuff.

Events like A Giant is attacking the town and his like realy huge and everyone will just gang up on him and try to kill him and u get exp for how much % life u taken off him and who gets most like gets a Event Point and can buy Mega weapons with it that u cannot find... or something

maybe NPC that randomly walk around .. wait nvm cuz there wil lbe lotsa people and too much lag lol

i don\'t know ...i\'m not exactly fond of that idea, but undoubtably there will be trading (armour, potions, weapons, maybe maps ...)

Food Bar and Stamina .....

stamina would be a waste, since there\'s no shortcuts and you run almost all the time
food bar? ...hmmm, could be interesting, but the idea needs some polishing
Quote

You can build ur own house and stuff.

afaik, there will be that option, or at least you could get a house - but this won\'t evolve in the way thatit went in  most MMORPGs (you know that class-thing and newbie-hating - i hate that!!!)

maybe a bit extreme ...i\'d like the city to be peacefull and the most fights happening in the outside

i think PS won\'t need a lot NPCs anyway. as i see it, most of the happening\'ll be made by players themselves
Quote

you can get like blimps and flying machines..

nah, winged creatures are enough ;) ...maybe a riding dwarf would look wierd, so maybe blimps only along winged creatures so you can pick wich one you want, but i prefer creatures :]
Quote

maybe, but i dunno. i like it as it is :)
Quote

You could make ur own food like get some oil and cook fish and stuff lol

if there will be a \"food/hungry/stamina\" bar that would be the only fun way it would evolve ...you\'d also need some cooking geer and be able to gather foods in the woods (hunting, picking up berries, roots, leaves, mushrooms...)
if this were the case, it would be great if there would be berries/mushrooms/roots/leaves/... that would be poisoned and some that would have magical powers (think about the alchemists!!!)
i think this would really rock!!!
and then a team could build up a fire (gathering wood and having a flint or fire magic of course) and then camp in the woods ...that would be great!!! - never seen in a MMORPG before
i like it :D :]

nah...

i dunno, it could be fun, but on the other hand it could also build those noob-hating snobs who only care for material things in the game, and don\'t play for fun at all - i hate those kind
Quote

You could slowy evlove and grow wing or something ?

well, actuall a race already has wings ...the others can ride winged creatures ...didn\'t you read the info on the page?

how about you can go in Walk,Run,Crawl modes... Crawl modes is to adviod stronger mosnters....

walk/run and jump are alredy in, i kinda miss crawl, but not hat much
Quote

i hate games like hack and slash so maybe you could put some skill invlod

skills? ...you really didn\'t read the pages did you? have you at least made your own character yet? ...there\'s tons of options (use the custom creation!)
Quote

Maybe a Church or places you can marry ?? lol

hmmm ...i dunno

read the comment about houses and land owning a bit higher

Here\'s my takes on the ideas.

Quote
Random Drops where you can find something new from a diffrent monster every time.. some times are rarer to drop then others .....

Like said before, there doesn\'t seem to be any monsters yet. When there are monesters, I more like the idea of having a chance list for certain items. Having it completely random could lead to some balance problems, and it could be unrealistic as well. It just wouldn\'t make sense if certain creatures are carrying certain things.

Quote
Stuff you can put on to make u look more cool like rings and Jewalry and Hats n stuff.....

I do like the idea that a character\'s looks should be more dynamic, changing depending on armor or clothes are equiped. This might be an idea for the future, it\'s just not done yet, but I\'m not sure. Something to make character\'s looks more customizable is certainly a must in an MMORPG. The more free someone is to customize themselves the better the play experience.

Maybe. *shrugs*

Quote
Food Bar and Stamina .....

Stamina isn\'t a bad idea, it just needs to be balanced right. I like how Morrowind did it. It was kinda annoying, but made a lot of sense and did add to play experiance. Basically they made it so the less stamina you have the slower you run, jump, and the less chance you have to preform skills right. This problem is easily solved with a nifty magic ring which restores fatigue. But, in the end, I wouldn\'t mind if stamina is added or not, really.

Quote
You can build ur own house and stuff.

As said, you can buy your own hose. But a system that lets you actually design or make one might be a challenge. But, didn\'t Ultima Online do something like that? It\'s an interesting and reasonable idea, if a good way of going about it is figured out.

I do support the idea to have unique events which add more to the world designed by the dev team, because it makes the game interesting and gives players something to get famous about. This might be a tad extreme, though.

Quote
maybe NPC that randomly walk around .. wait nvm cuz there wil lbe lotsa people and too much lag lol

I certainly agree that NPCs should be made more interesting than the typical fair, at least. Maybe we could add a schedule system like in Ultima 7 or Utlima 7 part 2? That was a very interesting system. Basically all NPCs were giving a list of times and places they needed to be during certain game times, and the actions they have to perform. Such as, at 12 AM they go to bed in their respective beds, and at 6 AM they wake up and eat breakfest, and then they start to work on swords in the blacksmith, and yatta yatta yatta. Very interesting, and could add some life to the game.

Quote
you can get like blimps and flying machines..

*shrugs* I think that flying things are enough, personally. Might be an issue worth looking into, though.

Quote
more diffrent faces for diffrent races and u can custize ur height and bulk and stuff

The models could be more dynamic in that they get larger or taller or more slim or bulkier depending on settings, like in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 skater creation menu. It was fairly interesting. But, I think the putting on clothes and armor idea is better when it comes to customizing your looks, and this one isn\'t too necessary.

Maybe we could have it so that you can not only select from 4 skins, but select from a few bodies as well? Or the models for faces should be seperate than those for bodies, so you can select between faces. Or something along those lines. *shrugs*

Quote

I like this idea :)

Quote
Thunder has a chance to hit you ? LOL

Hmmm. I don\'t think so, but this did give me an idea; how about the lucky and unlucky advantages amd disadvantages, respectively, determine the chance of getting rare items aswell (or instead)? Just a thought.

Quote
You can Buy Blocks of land where u can build houses,grow plants to sell,build a shop,build stuff like skools and dinning places.

Hook is probably right on this one. But it could be interesting anyway. I donno, it\'s worth talking about.

Quote
You could slowy evlove and grow wing or something?

I think the races should strictly keep within their own boundaries. First of all, it doesn\'t make sense; evolving involves passing genes from generation to generation. Second of all, the idea itself is interesting, but it\'s probably something that wouldn\'t fit in the PlaneShift world. You should play EVO (an SNES game), for example, an awesome game about evolving but that kinda stuff probably wouldn\'t work here.

Quote
how about you can go in Walk,Run,Crawl modes... Crawl modes is to adviod stronger mosnters....

Well, in the game I was running around and went under something and sort of did a crawl thing. It may have been a bug, or crawl is activated automatically when it\'s needed.

Quote
i hate games like hack and slash so maybe you could put some skill invlod

I don\'t think that\'s what he meant, Hook. I think he\'s saying that it shouldn\'t be just go up to a monster and jam on the attack button, there should actually be strategy involved. Honestly, even if the combat system is a \"one button to attack\" kinda one, there would still probably be skill involved, mostly in how you move around your enemy and whatsuch. So I think combat will have much more to it than hack\'n\'slash, even if it wasn\'t exactly programmed in. Simple systems always tend to be dynamic and versatile.

Quote
Maybe a Church or places you can marry ?? lol

I donno. I generally don\'t get involved with the whole church/marry topic people are always asking for in online games. So, I won\'t this time either :P

Quote
You can buy or make draws and beds and stuff to decttrate ur house ?

Either that or the houses come pre-fernished. But arranging them yourself is a bit more fun ;)
