I don't mind seeing some expensive items put in game, but realize that it does then limit the kind of new boss drops that we can introduce. I'd rather see more difficult 31+ areas/bosses put into play than just a gold sink. --Trevayne

This is following on from that quote under "Suggestions For Multi". I'm not sure if Trevayne or another area designer has an area in the works (I started designing a kind of quest area, but since staff haven't mentioned anything to me privately I'm assuming that it's a no-go), but "Medora's Area" is the only one that I know has been in development for some time.

Anyway, I am wondering if it's an idea to have the player-base suggest item designs for the area's boss drops, and the best ones get implemented, with or without minor modifications. The area's general theme may have to be described (even if quite vague) so the item designs are more likely to be fitting.

I think you mean designing as in coming up with stats etc. But I got a pic (that i made over a year ago) that was supposed to replace the Angelic Scepter, but never did. Someone might be able to use it for something else, would be a cool high-level weapon for cleric or something.

Rather than having a lot of random suggestions, I'd rather post a few requests for types of items that are likely to be used. This way, people don't waste their time. I'll post a few new topics in the next week or so looking for specific item criteria.

/t Sleeping, sadly, spyglasses are one of the few things that are hard-coded as items and can't easily be replicated. If I create an item with identical stats as the spyglass, but with a different name, it won't actually let you /spy.

How about an area where you get on board a ship, then "sail" the ship (using teleport buttons). The ship gets wrecked on a mysterious island and you have to find wood to repair the ship, of course en route to the wood you find all kinds of trouble...

As luck would have it I have such an area pre-written (and have done for 3 years now XD)

Want it?

Medora's area is deep and moist. There is a jungle of epic proportions, and a hole that cuts deep into the earth, and smells like a can of tuna.
