maybe a bit late of a suggestion, but perhaps adding worms as something that spawns out of unearthed graves? at a higher chance than other stuff, and making graves more prevalent? so they don't spawn randomly and clutter up an already mined out area, but keep the risk for a miner, and not in a totally random spawn, but something they have some warning for.

-i mean having a group of them spawn from a grave, not just a single one, as opposed to the single undeads that spawn (not removing the undead, just shifting the rates)

I figure most of this will be pretty low priority, just personal wishes/suggestions I guess:
artifact weapons? currently have only found multiple spots of artifact stones while mining(and reveal ore-ing) and they're also incredibly rare(like 1 per 3 sectors)
magma ore usage, zephyrium alloy usage, onyx shard usage, damon ore usage; not sure what you plan to do with these but they currently just look pretty
rosettes currently make jewelry with the same bonuses as diamonds, should be +5 higher?
elemental oils (fire/ice/lightning) and making elemental weapons
make filled and melted crucibles stackable

(talked with you about some of this in-game, figure i'd just put it down in forums for records sake)

I feel like there needs to be a way to make a tin hammer that doesn't require another hammer, some way that a person can learn blacksmith after creation and still be able to use it without another player helping them.

They still can't die (can't be attacked before or after taming) acts like your old mule would have

questions are being answered, information is correct so... origin matters?
-still can't kill 'em and "super rare" is a bit misleading, it takes some effort to find one sure, but after taming it only takes 10 minutes for a new wild mule to spawn
(and they only spawn/move around in a limited area around town, like few sectors each way)

and if you want to have 10 mules following you around all the time... ok? seems like a pain in the ass to me.

only downside(s) so far is universal to all tames, they seem to be rather unresponsive when following, taking a long time to catch up from the time you start moving
and tames don't swim now for some reason(unless that was changed last night, have been mining ever since) so recovering a mule could be a little tedious if it gets left way out in bumtiger nowhere

Exactly, making your house custome made out of differently materials. Going around uneven turrain, water and ore you cant mine was what made rpgwo unique.your slowly making it generic

I'm still a little confused, you can still build walls the standard way, the dimensional warp huts just add extra space.

having an item represent it would work well, seems like it would make it easier to organize the town like the player wants.

e: or a group of items in a limited area? like a bar + barrel of beer +.... for a pub, or something like that

could simplify it and have a few designated areas be GuildPLOT or something, as the only place guilds can claim(and only guilds can claim there) so mickey would just designate locations for towns, and the rest would be up to guilds, would also make it easier to implement something like the raid script, as locations are already set.

would be limiting in other ways though.

and yea, i'd think something like what you're saying zodiak would be more for a larger world with a much larger population, though it'd be pretty cool if something like that came about.

I think you should revisit the Guild Town code.

If you go with that route may I suggest maybe the idea of auto populating guild towns with NPCs if certain requirements are met.
Say if certain items are placed in a room, say an Anvil, Coal Pit, a Chest, and a Bed. After a check would spawn in a Blacksmith (weapon/armor) NPC that would be tied to the guild and the guild would receive a % of the sells. Then because there hasn't ever been a real gold sink, allow use via commands or some sort of set of items that allows for upgrading the NPC to sell higher equipment or a trade skill that corresponds with the NPC and you, through a process, make something that upgrades the NPC to allow for better equipment. 

Code: [Select]

Example: Standard NPC sells copper items, you make a set of items out of iron to allow him to sell some basic Iron items (hell make it harder by making a requirement of 1 of each iron item to unlock the function)
Side note: I also like the idea of the NPC selling a certain amount of equipment before the upgrading process is possible. It may seem a little tedious but I like the idea of players getting together for a common goal to make the best town.

this sounds good, a shop space with certain requirements would fit well with a scheduled raid that destroys walls/etc, would require some degree of maintenance on the players end without being overly tedious (being required to supply xxxx items on a regular basis)

for the npc upgrade, something like "/npctrain skill x" x being a tier, a skillcheck for the player using it to increase said vendors inventory, on top of the required inventory traffic?
e.g. /npctrain blacksmith 3, with a skillcheck about 100 higher than the requirement to make iron for the npc to stock/buy iron gear (yea iron is 4th, but no point training them to stock tin)
maybe that's too complicated? idk, just a thought.

Admittedly I'm not seeing your point, the whole idea was diversifying armor options and choices, so yes, a mage could choose to go for higher defense armor, but it's going to impact mana efficiency, I'm not seeing how that's going to "ruin certain aspects of the game yet to be ventured into". (that phrase sounds kinda nonsensical)

Though I think that having "skills" (spells that require certain weapon/wand types and levels to learn/use) would be neat. (separate "skill" tab even? instead of mashing it all onto the magic tab) would need some other way to go about learning skills though, as runes would make no sense.

as far as melee characters not using skills because of mana denial... you're using hypothetical changes to argue against having plate armor have mana denial? you yourself suggest having skills cost stamina(which i would agree with in that scenario) so... what?

maybe i'm sleep deprived or nutrient deficient or something, confused as to what your actual argument there was. was not aware there was going to be any shift towards class-based characters. (maybe i'm just not in the loop)

leather armor does exist so it's not quite like there's no low level option at all, but I certainly see your point, adding some variation to the usual tailor made armors (as far as effective usefulness) is a nice idea.
as to robes, make them occupy both top/bottom equip spots? if that's possible, or have tights/skirts/sarongs/kilts
cloth versions gain some mana renewal
or even have robe versions have mana cost reduction? as well as a penalty to run (if you can make them occupy both armor/leg spots)
