If I'm not mistaking, didn't Atraxis make it rain in Nord once on an experiment. (not throwing money to all you thugs out ther'.) It looked okay, but had a few issues. Was that something of yours that he was playing with, or was that his doings?

Lightning could be one effect, players risk getting struck, unless they retreat to indoor areas or dungeons

Remove cooldown from lowest yellow pots to match the Mani spell, witch is the main reason people go human.

A command to reactive a started (but unfinished) quest. (Also removing the quest items that may only be obtained once from the character is nec.) So if a quest happens to glitch out as the orcasaurus has done to me on PD, we won't have to annoy egg trying to get him to manually reset the quest.

Half trolls get another race bonus..not sure what about it could be (It's come to my attention dual wielding slows the melees alil making, so really it's not much a bonus to jump on. x.x)

A giant squib that haunts Shoreline like the huge crab of maeondir.
function squid(m) -- more or less as powerfull as a blood hydra.
m.code = 0x055238 -- tinted green
m.large = true
m:set_align(ALIGN_EVIL)
m:set_name("Giant Squid")
m:set_magic_resistance(1000)
m:set_hp_max(600)
m:set_intel(1360)
m:set_dmg_dice(10)
m:set_dmg_sides(5)
m:set_thaco(55)
m:set_base_ac(40)
m.xp_kill=700
m:learn_spell("vog")
m:learn_spell("inh")
m:learn_spell("aq")
m:learn_spell("srx") -- pretty sure this does not work this easy.
end

More final bosses at the end of certain dungeons, like phoenix or doppelganger. Maybe the community has some nice ideas that easily scripted.

imo, that's a bad idea.. that would solve the "dual classing" issue, but i don't think it'll go over that well. That would basically be like dual classing on reg with a half troll or something. Which, would there fore, be cheeseable. Well, i don't know about cheeseable, but I think my point was made.

So like you'd need a specific(high) amount of int to use mana scrolls.. -rolls eyes-

you don't need mana for scrolls. hence why newbs at level 1 can use SL out the ass to do some quests to hide past things. Scrolls don't have a cooldown either, because they don't use int..

No I mean like you need level etc to use certain hp scrolls, so just make it so you need a certain int for mans scrolls

that would be pointless.. if the scroll doesn't use mana, why have a certain int "level". That's stupid..

that was a dick post, my bad. But what i was saying is if the scroll itself doesn't use any int at all, why make the scroll have to have a certain int "level". That doesn't make sence whatsoever. That's like having Braille dots on a DRIVE-UP ATM, or like HAWAII having interstate highways...

make medium armour non class related, with a nerf in overall def. to make it worth using.

YES this should be the point - thanks for posting - now how can I make euo more like this and less like wow?
When we pick our race and class, we could have only certain quests that we can complete. If you choose Half Troll&Rogue, then you have to follow down the path of half trolls, and do the rogue quests. We could have our own little "stories" like that. As we complete a bigger and bigger step, it could be posted in our profiles on the armoury. When you reach level 100 (as a goal), it could change to "I just hit level 100!" or w/e. As you get stronger and you're able to solo Brownethorn or the Queen on your own or a different boss that's out there, it could update the profile part. Add it to our own books like a journal. Whatever "date" we achieved that, it could be added to our books in line. So instead of (sorry hen) Hen having all of those little "belts" and those kinds of achievements, it could just have a link to a different part of the armoury that logs all of our activities to build up. Another example could be : If Seph, Fawf, Shawty, LordMorty, and Raiden were all hunting, and they killed the queen, it could have "Seph and the party of Fawf, Shawty, LordMorty, and Raiden defeated the queen!" (on sephs page) Fawfs page (or book) would have "Fawf, Seph...... (so forth and so on)".

To sum it all up if you don't want to read all of that....

We could have a mini "Facebook" for our characters.

How about a calender to go with the Sun/Moon cycle with days of the week?
Some Shops could only open on some days off the week.

Also notice its always daylight saving in EUO, when vampires are added, shorter nights would be a disadvantage to vampires, but other times on the EUO year, an advantage, with seasons, you might only be able to grow and do things on on certain times of the year.
