I miss :( the days of unlimited party members :headbang: ...just had one big party :jam: :band: , I used to inv everyone who logged on :cool2: ...but I dont think there was bonus xp at that time :pi: ...there were also events on the main continent :pumpkin: - wish there were events on Maeondir :yoshi: , cant imagine an event on Apocalyptic Sosaria :skull: !

So yeah bigger parties :cow: and Random Events :geek: on Continent maps (other than kracken :whistle: and giant crab :fp: ), like town invasions :psychotic: ! After a town is cleared :flame: - have a quest NPC :dancecow: to help rebuild the town through gathering/kill quests :nightshade: . It would be a nice touch :lesson: once in awhile to rebuild a destroyed town :twisted: .

Considering there's already a graphic for all items, there are some ways you could improve the visual gameplay in euo. The only use in the item icons is for when an item is laying on the ground. Perhaps when you go to work on the UI you could change the inventory/equipment/bank/shop screens to display items in a grid/tile based style that shows the item icon and a little number representing quantity at the top left or right. I think this would be a great addition rather then looking at a list of names and numbers.

Some extra features:

Hover mouse over an item to see a tooltip with various information about the item (name/value/requirements/stats/etc..)
Rearrange items with drag and drop mechanic with the mouse.
Drag an item out of the inventory to drop it on the ground.
A context menu that is displayed when you right-click an item with the mouse (Could give you options such as equip/drop or sell when the shop is open.)

Boots of fortification being swamp boots sounds kind of silly.

"The judge" should be a mace! :D

Haha maybe a little silly; although when it comes to "magic" items anything is possible. X-D

I'm sure there are much better names for most of the stuff, it was mainly the stats that I wanted to put together.

Logging on again after a few months to get the additional 50 levels, I just wondered, where all these cursed items come from in general.
Maybe it would be fun to have some NPC somewhere just sitting there and cursing stuff all the time. If you talk to him, he throws lots of (verbal) curses at you too.
The idea just made me smile. :)

I'm not so sure it's necessarily milking that's the problem.

Worst case scenario you change milking. People will start just collecting water and doing the same thing.

You change milk AND water, people will start polypiling potions they don't use.

This all comes back to Khaki potions. People have been asking for some time.

We need some sort of recipe to craft them, even if it Is an advanced recipe.

IMO we either need a khaki recipe, or to scrap polypiling.

Or just up the rate of khaki drops from monsters and chests. I almost never find them.

I'm not that upset about it - just seems a bit absurd ... and maybe can make a change that benefits everyone and doesn't piss everyone off ...

Game really needs to be more inviting to new player and/or to keep them coming back. Seen a lot of newbies play for a few days then quit, so here's a couple ideas.

XP bonus/greater XP gain for players under a certain level.

Daily reward for logging in, maybe grows if you log in consecutive days.

One or two more Generic "Kill X amount of Y" and/or "Bring me X amount of Y" quests in each town. (If you want someone to write quest dialogue, I've never been much of a programmer or designer, but I'm a fairly decent writer. Just let me know, I'd love to contribute something more than money to this game)

"Travel to X town" quest upon town completion.

Option to make map fullscreen.

Toggle-able markers on map for quest locations.

Clickable links to manual and forums on sidebar. (And clickable links to BUY STUFF/addy coins/xp happy hour)

I really think if you improve the early game and hold newbies hands just a bit more, they'll feel things out better.

I do like the idea of when you're searching for something, to make the map full screen while in game and not having to go to forums or your directory. f12, o, m for full screen map with mouse capabilities to move it around to look? searching for shrines as a newbie blows, but if ya gots a maps for a quick ref, "INT SHRINE" "DEX/STR SHRINE" "SHRINE OF LEVEL YOU THE FUCK UP" something. I hated as a new kid on the block as a newbie mage, mind you, to have to level dex because I didn't know how to get to the int shrine.

Would it be hard to implement item stats in merchant search? or inventory view for that matter, often you see stuff others have found and you wonder what it actually does, and as it is you're at a loss until you stumble upon the item yourself...
my God, it's full of stars...

except an NPC who tells you to talk to some random NPC in a random town for your daily quest,
and

but m is usually assigned for meditate - so some other key...possibly a way to keep track of quest locations.

The idea of stats popping up for looked at items sounds nice too.
