Here in UO, I think it's a given that we could use some more stuff to do. The playerbase is grouchy and could stand to be tided over with some goodies. But coding new stuff is hard and takes a long time. So here are my suggestions on how to give the players a big helping of "stuff to do" without having to actually invent any totally new systems.
A) Retire the existing Ilshenar artifacts. Most of them are worth almost nothing now. Replace them with brand new minor artifacts. Nothing crazy, just some nice stuff to collect. Make sure to include a nice tunic and shield so that people don't miss Heart of the Lion and Shield of Invulnerability too much. Add a new fey slayer to replace the Pixie Swatter.
B) Give the boss of the Tokuno champion spawn a chance to drop Treasures of Tokuno minor artifacts. The dyes alone, even the new "ugly" ones, will keep people doing this spawn forever. And since it's not like they're dropping everywhere, the economy won't instantly flood with them.
C) Have the bosses of the Ilshenar champion spawn drop alacrity scrolls. This is, frankly, a no brainer. This and B give your average Trammel guild a reason to go do the horribly under-used Tok/Ish champ spawns.
Come on devs, we need a patch/publish that's something besides esoteric PVP nerfs and some obscure tweak to the Kingdom Rejected client. We need STUFF TO DO.
