IDEAS: (feel free to respond, as usual!)
Disaster: a suicide command, to speed up death if stunned
AMystery: mobs should collect xp, then if you kill them you get it all. Like
happens with gold. That way if a guard steals your kill and then you kill
the guard, you get his xp plus a fraction of what he got for the stolen kill
AMystery: hero hangman should be changed to allow higher wagers. Does it
really need a limit even?
Everybody: I just thought of a very nasty spec (which would be fun, though):
a necromancer - automatically raises corpses of mobs in the room at 1/2 (or
3/4 or some such) of his level as undead creatures
Desolation: I think the language on public channels shouldnt be so strict,
that sayings like that was bull crap be accepted.
Gruff: maybe change the name of the 'tour bus' to tour carriage or something
more in line with the medieval theme? not a big problem, but some people
were discussing the general medieval theme and it's the only thing which
threw me as a newbie
Desolation: I think, if possible, that sleep causes regen faster.
-- It does, Kiri
AMystery: we could use a help barren, help realms, help br. possibly with
the backstory of the realms
Amenace: give clericus the ability to do the spell "fly" on others
Paranoid: there should be a salute social, so I can salute the imms.
