This is an open thread for posting things you'd like to see the devs do to the game. But not huge things. Not even really balance-related things. Just small things you'd like to see fixed, little things that make the game feel a little shabby and neglected as is. Things that wouldn't take a huge effort to fix, but have probably just been forgotten about. The little things contribute a lot to one's overall impression.
I'll go first, and maybe make clear what I'm talking about.
1) Can we have gypsies back? Someone randomly decided to add tents to the spawn a year or two ago and it was just a disaster, and rather than ditch the tents they just removed the spawns entirely. Makes the world feel kinda empty when you're running around. This is a prime example of what I mean by a very minor thing that makes the game feel a bit shabby. The game had gypsy spawns for its entire first 13 years or whatever, then some random intern broke them derping around with tents, and now they'll probably never get fixed.
2) How about NPC paladins while we're at it? They seem to have mysteriously gone extinct for no reason around the same time.
3) Look this one isn't a bug, but can you PLEASE get rid of the obnoxious barks and nonsense associated with getting drunk now? Or at least restrict them to player-brewed booze? The only people who even wanted to brew booze were roleplayers, and they're the last ones who would enjoy garbage like this. My dour knight dares not touch even a drop of cider, for fear that the hand of some random juvenile developer will reach through the ether and force him to go "HEY LOL BRO LISTEN TO MY SONG" while ripping his clothes off. UO had booze you could actually drink for its first 13 years, then some dev broke it in order to make a joke fit for a five year old.
I guess that's it for now. Just "Hey you broke this now fix it!" type stuff. Stuff they probably don't even realize they broke.
