Lets try and settle this once and for all... We all know everyone who continues to play Genesis does so for the fun of grinding and racing to be largest. None of that other stuff about roleplay, guild dynamics, exploration, personal achievement, etc. is crucial to keeping login numbers high, which i...

With all the ideas that get thrown around, perhaps it'd be a good idea to have a way for mortals to organize and prioritize their requests and ideas. Luckily, such a system already exists as an open source project. Perhaps it could be added without too much pain and suffering: http://www.ideatorrent...

If this were to be worked on, I'd suggest just adding "train" train : lists skills train swim : learns or improves swim once train swim 5 : five times train swim max : maximum number of times However, I suspect this would be a large effort with minimal benefits... there are lots of differe...

I wanted to hear Mersereau's reasoning because I suspected it would be self-serving... don't give other people anything he chose to work for. I _chose_ to work for? Perhaps I'm missing something before my time. Was there once a rule in place that said you had to explore everything on your own witho...

Another idea would be for stats to increase effectiveness more logarithmically. I think that was actually the purpose of brute... people already increase combat XP very logarithmically... problem is it creates an asymptote and progress never reaches 0 and perhaps it should have.

I think 1 and 2 would be best implemented together, especially with the OPTIONAL cap I am thinking of. An optional cap might work something like this: At some level, just for the sake of example lets say champion, you are given a choice... (A) to have the amount of XP that applies to your stats capp...

The only reasonable idea for a barricade I can come up with one you can climb instantly unless you are being blocked. This wouldn't be an "I Win" button, but it would give a chance for an unexpected ambush, especially along popular roads. A barricade that requires combat to destroy or a ti...

Hey Rhaegar, give me credit for the idea :x But you left out Bounders of the Shire and the evil side of things I don't think the club idea would work as one of the benefits of being in a guild is earning rank and gaining more responsibility and power. Guild leadership then has power over other playe...
