I would have a little area in the game with a "bunch of NPCs." And, each NPC would point you in a direction in the game. Maybe even put them in groups of difficulty. I log into the game and I'm looking around for something to do and everything just seems "random." SO, these things I decide to do are totally random. Today's gamers are used to have everything pointed out to them.
Lets just take this for example: I was checking out someone's gear and saw they were wearing Minax's Sandals. I looked up the price and the price is crazy for someone who is just getting gold by looting Monsters. Then, I figure I'm going to find out what items in the store can fetch me sold serious coin so I can buy items like that in the game. I wasn't feeling like guessing what's selling these days so I google "Minax's Sandals and this comes up:
I'm pretty sure that is in the actual retail version of Ultima Online and not another source. The only way I was able to "stumble" onto this information was because I looked up Minax's sandals. Had I not done that I would not have known these encounters were in the game.
