Illarion.org

not all of these ideas are new ones

1. are we going to get a skill for swimming, because that would be useful, so one could get across a small stream. The graphic could just be the head of the charater in the water, if thats possible, and how far you can go is determined by your skill.

2. There should be more fish than just regualr fish and trout, there could be docks where you go further out and and can catch swordfish, lobsters, or other sea creatures with different tools such as a harpoon lobster pot or crab trap.

3. There should be a hunger meter, which lowers the more you move or do actions so one cant be mineing cosntantly without eating for days, adn then there will be a use for food so bakeing, and fishing will be useful skills, and different types of food will fill you up faster and if it is empty you will slowly lose life and skills (very little overall, twice as little when dieing)

4. Lizard women graphic

5. A few more depots, about one or two out of town, like in the little house past the demon cave with the milstone, cutting wheel and glass smelting oven, because the town is becomeing a bit crowded and i personally have wanted to go out of town and have a huge farm, but i can only cary some much wheat and i dont want to go from my spot to town. And the depots can only hold so much items for you, so that you will have to transfer you depot items to the ones in town, and have more features in town so people wills till come back to town so its wont be deserted

6. Gold plated armor, there was alreadya discussion about this, and there shouldnt be gold armor, it is weak and i think it melts easily, but there should be gold PLATED armor, where you take the armor you already have and smelt gold onto it amkeing it a bit stronger.

7. There should be more materials to make weapons and armor with than just steel, take some of the fantasy materials like mithril and adamantine there can be iron steel mithril adamantine, in that order from weak to strongest, and you cna add a touch of amgic to it by a powerful mage, like a sword that can have an added lighting affect, or a speed swoprd that attacks faster

8. There should be armor and weapon graphics, if its not way to much work, peopel should be able to others hard earned gear that they have equipped

9. If thats too much work then make an action where you look at a character and you cna see there equipped get and items on there belt, but not in there bag

10. give a use to goblets, crowns, and golden rings

11. give a use to oil lamps

12. Make stronger leather items, master tailors cannot compete with master smithers

13. rings should have more powerful affects on the one who wears them, and if they have two rings then the effect should be doubled (if it already isnt)

14. There should be a spell where it blesses a ring, or necklace, or other gold smithed items or jewerly, so its affect is stronger, like a blessed rign gives more power than a ring that is not blessed.

15. When you hold your wand over a rune the name should appear

16. There should be more music (if its not too much work... which it is...)

17. Raise Elizas buying prices a little

18. make a new race called draconians that look like dragons, with think pointy scales and have demonic wings

19. GIVE US SOMETHING ELSE TO DO THAN MAKE THE STORIES ALL ON OUR OWN!!!! or atleast make some cool new cave that needs to be explored but has alot of puzzles in it so a group must come to explore it, and if your working on some new lands put in some mystic items than can be found (if ou havent already done it)

20. add a few monsters (wolves, yetis, rabid dogs, poweful dragons etc.)

21. make a prison, where if someone murders wrongfully, or someone robs another, they should be put into a cell for however many hours

22. If its possible there should be a mounting skill, where one can mount a wold horse, or dragon, or wolf (big wolves) and can ride faster than walking, but the animal will break away depending on your skill, and if its violent then it will attack people in its way while it trys to go back to where it came from. Two skills involved in this, one is mounting which is just getting onto the animal, then tameing which is the skill it takes for the animal to calm down and let you ride it, and there could be a stable to keep the horses but the other animals would have to be set free and become untamed, and the animal can be a weapon in battle, like a dragon spits fire, wolves attack, and you can have a slightly raised attack on the animal. And there could be a rideing skill too where while the animal isnt tamed you can fall off (which is different from being thrown off), and you cna fall off while battleing (but not while rideing freely) and you have to calm teh animal down before mounting, sucha s giveing it food

23. There should be town competitions (not competitions, but i cant think of the word) where people play a game and the winner gets some money or a prize (no violence involved)

now i dont expect most of these to be done, because i know it takes alot of work to make any of these possible, but consider them

24. If you make a change where mages cant where strogn armor and powerful swords, or druids can st do other things, dont make all the people that cast magic become unabled to where good armor and fight strong enemies, because yet i like to cast magic but i would very very much rather bash someone skull in then turn them into a newt or soemthing. There should be a choice, if its possible

post your won ideas here if you want

25. Make an item than can cut raw gems, so one can cut the gems on the spot with a chisel or soemthing.

I have comments for a few.
6. Gold's melting point isn't that low, a bit higher than silver and a bit lower than copper, but it is a very weak metal and very dense. I don't think gold armor should be any stronger than normal armor, just for show.
8. I also think it would be nice, but without a large team of graphics makers it is impossible. For one item on one race it would take 32 pictures (I think). Then if you had this same item picture for all races it would take 192 pictures. I think you get the idea.
9. I agree full heartedly, It should also include the description created at the begining of the game which could be readily changed. Something should also be done to make sure it is a physical description only.
10. I disagree, do gold rings give you an advantage when you wear them? How about grey socks? These items are just for show.
12. Leather can generaly not become as strong as iron or steel.
21. You would need to have a jail warden with a key, seeing as these are things to be dealt with ingame.
23. Players do these things all the time.
24. It is planned to have a mix of fighter and mage I believe. If you mean having a full fighter and a full mage, they would be absurdly strong.

i can tell you have played runescape

yea i played runescape for a long time, i was level 54 and a member, but thats not the point, im just giveing a few things they have that we dont, illarion is no doubt better than runescape, in runescape you can trust no one

what i mean for 24 is that if they are going to change mages that are currently in the game they should go to the player before makeing them a fighter or mage or druid, so they arent forced into something they dont want to be

26. if its possible, it would be nice to do two things at a time, like make 2 swords at a time, or flail two grain at a time, only 2 though, and more would get rid of all the work, or how many you do at a time determines how many you make at once, put your number bar on 2 and try to make soemthing and you may amke 2 and you may not, so it will gut the time in half... maybe

27. Illarion is always closes on me when i do something in another window, i have accepted this fact and gotten used to it, but it would be nice if i could talk to my friends on IM while waiting for my farms to finish, or something, if that problem can be fixed easily, that be helpful, but dont feel the need too if there is a reason for it happening

I think its to stop people using macros to mine or fish for them while their not at the computer, the macro would slow the game down the same way minimising it slows it down so it thinks your using macros and boots you off... if that makes sense, good. I cant think of a better way to explain it or even if thats right...

1. Definately not in the short term, and maybe not in the long term.

2. Perhaps in the future. Not high on priority list though.

3. Hunger already exists, but currently only applies to healing. It may, or may not, be applied to other things in the future, but I doubt if there will ever be a meter for it.

4. All the races will have female graphics. Asking for it again doesn't make it go any faster.

5. No plans to put any depots out of town. That is what the town is for.

6. Gold plated armor, if introduced as gold plated armor, would not have any more strengh then normal armor and would just be heavier. It would be used for looks. It would probably be weaker in fact. There may, however be gold colored armour introduced that may have other abilities (magic or something, unsure) but neighther is planned for currently.

7. Will probably happen in the future. No immediate plans

8. There has been discussion of this, but asking for won't make appear any faster.

25. No.

26. No.

Nice summery. I have a question to the swimming skill. What would happen, if you swim with a low skill. Die all the time?

ok, thanks separdum
