About the cards playing thing, there should be trading cards, In my opinion it should be like Final Fantasy 8. So in Planeshift; monster cards would be the lowest, then NPCs, then the development team.
Example:
Common Cards: Beginning Monsters
Uncommon Cards: Non Important NPCs
Uncommonly Rare Cards: Advanced Monsters
Rare Cards: Important Key NPCs
Very Rare Cards: Summon Monsters
Super Rare Cards: The Development Team Members
(each dev would get one card named after him/her.)
Ultra One-of-a-kind Card: Talad and Laanx
I mean how cool would it be to have card after a dev.
