Just some ideas at the risk of being at least a little bit off target:
Yes : ** Things that are done already are what is in the in-game uo store, like deco items, pet costumes, soul stones, some luck potions and items not affecting power creep much and overall game balance - agreed, and nice for profit somewhat.
No: ** Power scrolls or PS, in-game legendaries, and Cameos etc. - agreed.
Consider: ** Several new items to add, by looking at the present-day game and interests of players, and assuming the programming power is still there:
==> Looking at the pets in the ATL stable Luna, at the ruined pets and rare pets that are ruined by poor training, also new interest in taming and the sizeable taming community:
>> Pet Respec Scroll / Potion worth 1000-2000 SOV : To allow the tamer to respec certain things only such as STR / Some stats and some resists as long as correct points are allocated. This may be a clear winner, judging from the amount of ruined pets, and ruined legacy pets. Will not affect power creep and will not affect inflation, imo.
>> Pet alacrity Potions/Scrolls : Will help speed up the training process, make it specific for only healing and Chiv or other magics, cost 200-400 SOV.
>> This maybe a real winner also : Consider making available for sale the pet "perfume" clicky to change color of SOME pets for a price also. Have you ever seen a red colored Triton? or Bright green? Again for certain pets maybe. Purely a vanity item and gold sink. $400-600 SOV.
>> This may be a no-no and change some game dynamics but : Yes Pet Saddle for a price to apply to non-rideable pets some at least, like Triton, Ram, non-rideable beetles, and not for any rideable pets including Cus. $1000-$2000 SOV. Would not change power creep or inflation much imo.
I hope I'm not opening a Pandora's Box, and I could be wrong, but any other ideas replies/thoughts appreciated, also any additional new money making ideas to keep UO alive and the game with more shine at the same time.
For those that have log-in to the main UO forum, feel free to copy and paste it there if you wish also.
Ty in advance for looking at the post.
