1) skills, not need of new ones but rather the way they are earned. Concussion and Slashing,Ranged and Puncture are allg eneric why not have the entire list of weapons, each skill depends on the weapon and forget "best sword" each weapon should be close but there charactiristis will be differant, E.G Sikle,Slashing sideways upward. as to, Sword slashing allways,crushing. which means a person with a lighter weapon, in this case the sikle with as much experience with at as the  man with a sword would be defeated as the LIGHTER weapon gets under and over the much slower sword, get it?
2) weapons. Strange, only certain axe cuts trees, and hammers to metal.  In Rl a sword would cut a tree, so would a war axe and a war hammer coul bash metal well to. be it not as it was intended but it works. Also, destruction of town walls and such some walls should be able to be broken down by hammers and axes and two handers. and the wand would to me make a good staff to giving it dual use to mages, and a use to druids.
3) there were over 700main types of armour in 1500-1700 why is thier two basic types no variations of metal armour? add some varitions into them give people something new to look at. and there was 15 differant kinds of sikles ranging from, small swordsikle to two handed crop sikle. I see but one.
4) ahh a map to the site, its been done before in other games, or at least put a map into game that shows ENTIRE island. Shift click on map and it takes up whole screen

The reasons for this are simple, the game is still developing.  They could make more weapons and such, but these things require graphics and must be incorporated.  I am sure they would be happy to make some new items, just send in some graphics.

@3: I don't see a reason for adding twenty axes, that don't make much difference. The only achievement would be a much increased download time (and, starting with an own server location, more money for us to pay for the traffic).
@4: You should explore the world on your own. It is not intended that you know the whole world from the beginning.
@2: The reason for this is, that we would have to write (and maintain) skripts for every item, that you can use to chop wood. I.e. it is a technical restriction.
@1: I fail to understand what this point is about.

you still remind me of the computer...

3) it adds an amount of fun an realism
4) maybe for explorers, can make maps and sell them?
2)  you don't need like this you chop wood with firesword, just you chop wood. I know you have to program fireswords to chop wood. But your a student and I thought you was doing experiments to make best game?
1) what is there NOT to see?

@sean: I don't understand the whole meaning of almost every sentence of point one. In fact I also fail to see where one sentence starts and the other ends.

Sean-san's a drop-out? What rubbish, drop-out's can't type at all!
And I don't think not being able to speak German restricts your grammar.
As for Question 1, I (THINK) he meant that the programmers should add more fighting skills, as sickle fighting, slashing- weight slashing, chopping, stabbing, thrusting, technique slashing...
I think that the only good idea is the one where magic staves have a little attack ability.
Fireswords aren't meant for lumberjacking. Show me a lumberjack who uses swords to cut down trees, Sean, and I'll put in a good word for all of your proposals ;)

actually, I have a medievil book where a knight gets strande din a forest with a broken arm, he uses a sword to cut down trees to make fire and then he makes fire by bagins sword off of rock!. and yes, those skills are exactly what I ment thanks:)and dropouts can type, I only droppe dour because I failed English,Math (good at it now though) science,Geography but I aced the equivelent of highschool drama these days and history as well as computer courses in typing and in Turing and some 2d programming

I believe what sean is saying in point one is that each weapon should have a skill.  For example a fire sword would have a skill for it and a dagger would have a skill and a double axe etc.  I do think this is a good idea but there are a couple of problems that I see:

1) we would have a lot of fighting skills (maybe evern too much)
And for the more armour I also do not think it is feasible.  Unless sean wants to buy a very very very good server for the game and provide a ton of CD's for the game to be put on, maybe even put the program on the CD's

no, I ment what erdrick said. More skills not for every weapon but even maybe two for one weapon. and I am tired of carrying around two sikles for nae reason exept it gets easier to rep kill me? sikle fighting is a legemet form of skills and I belive should be incorperated. Sikles are also not slashing, nor concussion. same with axes, not slashing or concussion Axes do not slice through air well, and do not crush often(war axes lond axes ar eprim examples) they more "swing" rather then slash or crush

Too much complication = increased lag

That would not help us any.
