what about a really stripped down browser based euo where you could log in and sit around nord and chat - you couldn't do anything much - but it would be good for when I'm too lazy to load euo at work and I could keep it open in my brower tab

proposal for sharing your house with friends (as this is a commonly req feature, but if I make it too broad I won't sell as many houses)

- as a house owner you can add someone else's account as a friend
- friend accounts may drop stuff in your house or make a chest
- friends cannot terraform or take house owner's stuff or other friend's stuff

I'd limit it to a house owner only allowed to have 1 person as a roommate and I wouldn't make it account based but alt based. 1 alt and not their entire account as some poeple have like 200 alts. That's just my suggestion.

This would make clan halls obsolete - which would be a good thing.

At the moment clan halls (at least the two I've been in) aren't used much at all:

1) There is no security with regards to items being "lost" - and accusations of theft/raiding etc have been plenty.

2) You can't renovate them, or add new rooms for new members.

3) You can't teleport to them conveniently with a hearthstone.

4) New clans complain about not having one, and defunct clans don't like the idea of losing their halls in regular competitions.

5) Egg doesn't get paid for clan halls.

What you could do, is make the number of possible shared users linked to cash. Some people who might not pay $20 for an entire house might be willing to pay $3 or $5 to be able to share a house. Charge $20 for a house, and $3 extra for every person you can add as a room mate. A house with (1+3) people would cost $29 dollars (about $7 dollars each), a house with (1+8) would cost $44 dollars (about $5 dollars each). Or don't make it fixed, make it expandable in the buy page and people can upgrade as they go along.

Problem with this though is it wouldn't be very compatible with clan democracy, but there must be other mechanisms that allow inactive clan leaders to be replaced or a new one nominated without requiring a DM to intervene.

Perhaps clan leaders can nominate 2nd in commands that acquire clan leadership if the leader is inactive for more than 2 weeks, or actual councils that can elect new clan leaders..

It would also encourage clans to have active membership, 'cause an inactive member would be taking up a house slot that could be used by someone else instead.

:cry: You dind't like MIB when it was active? Destroyer, if he was alive (as I've deemed him dead with the explosion of mib), would probably nominate Keighn as 2nd and SirKeign as 3rd, but they were both in the hall too when it exploded; though Keighn's ghosts still flies around all the time.

LC has some pretty good points and it would probably net egg some extra cash. Still, roomies should = alts and not accounts.

I quite liked the MIB hall, but I didn't end up using it much. Training Jackal's traps and locks on all the "security" features was great, but it wasn't as if I stored much of my gear other than clan donations in the actual hall itself. This is pretty much the case for most of the clan halls I've seen, they're really only decorative.

And when people "nick" stuff from them... :knife:

Wouldn't it have been better if the clan halls had all the attributes of what egg is proposing with housing? Could have avoided some the headaches with theft, etc.

Also, I think nominations for 2nd and 3rd would obviously be for different people on different accounts, if that was how you'd solve the inactive clan leader problem.

* experimental: searching a trapped chest now auto attempts to disarm it (if you have an uncursed probe)
For an experimental change, this has been coming in quite useful. You've probably already thought of it, but if not, extending this functionality to lockpicks would also be a hit with us rogues:

1. When attempting to open a chest, while it's locked, auto attempt to unlock it.
2. When attempting to walk through a door, while it's locked, auto attempt to unlock it.

And, like trapped chest one, you'ld need to have uncursed lockpicks in your possession ( of course ).

For something fun this morn i made a client where you can equip as a weapon any item - eg a scroll or a fish

Further, I thought having certain items equipped and attacking with them could have certain effects
- attack with mining pick in mine make a faster way of digging
- attack with potion equipped uses that potion on tgt

further, I then got to thinking about throwing ... maybe a new key like alt-t or ctrl-t ... and you can throw the equipped item (eg throwing axe, javeline, potion, excrement) at the auto targeted enemy ...

I believe a vampire quest, similar to oblivion would be a good idea... like removing the vampire curse. perhaps being a vampire would have certain pros and cons? like obvious damage to sunlight (perhaps only in world map), increased strength, blood drain etc?
