What would you like to see??

I vote: all of the above.

Frankly the game just needs to be refurbished to keep it attractive. A lot of the time we hear change is coming, and either a year later change does come in the form of an incomplete cabal, etc., or a random nerf that just pisses everyone off. I'm not trying to take any shots here, but if reality hurts your feelings it is time to take that permanent nap and live in dreamland.

I think the game is in a pretty good place balance wise and I think a lot of the changes Dav has implemented has made for a much better game than when I started. However it has been a few years since any legitimate changes have come in any decent time frame. I know we're all busy, but in the time it takes to post 15, 500 word posts I'm pretty sure we could be well on the way to getting druids in. I'd like to see new things now, I think we'd all like to, new races/classes/skills/cabals/guilds/areas/roleplay events, whatever. Something to keep things fresh and add new dynamic to the game. Things obviously have gotten dry for a lot of us, not necessarily boring but definitely dry, especially with a smaller pbase.

I don't think we'll all ever agree to "what should be next," only that something should be next. And while I'm thankful for the visual stimulation of this post and the optimistic attitude, these posts aren't a rarity and I just think the effort is better spent giving us an outline of what the imms think should be done, and sticking to it.

I notice all the little area changes, tweaks to cabal grounds, etc. and I think these things are great and I hope they keep coming to keep pvp fresh. But honestly, there's only a small part of the player base who will even notice most of these small things, and it won't be new/lowbies. [/b]


p.s. to touch on neutral clerics: awesome. Their healing ability should be similar to/lesser than regen potions, as in HoT. They'd go without the buffs and the major self healing, and maybe get some interesting spells. Maybe we can even call them druids.

Erlwith, some of what you said is true, and some of it I agree with. I just dislike that you always tell people

[Erlwith]

I'm not always right...

[Mandor]

how exactly is burzuk stopping AR from growing?

[crazyhorse]

Erlwith is deriving stupid assumptions from statements because he is just silly.

Zuk is in no way stopping AR from growing that we as a playerbase know about.

I thought you quit...

I voted More racial legacies, or race/class alteration. Legacies could be a decent way to add power to the weaker race/class combos that are underrepresented in the pbase. Another good thing would be to allow more races to play different classes, lets say a firegiant dark-knight or a storm paladin. Low mana and devastating vuln would not allow them to be overpowered. Also something like a gnome healer could be fun and I dare anyone to say it would be overpowered...

I voted the other day for more cabal leadership (mortal and immortal) as something I would like to see in the game. I will now "expound"

I don’t have a hope in hell of getting into a cabal, nor would I want to at this point in my AR career. And I don’t understand the decision making process and responsibilities that are shared between mortal and immortal leaders. I’m not even sure the reason for immortal leaders other than a nice role play touch, and if less active immortal leaders hold mortal leaders back or visa versa.

I voted for that choice because I firmly believe leadership is so, so important. Coming from the perspective of some of my past jobs, and a mud game where I was a clan member, where in both cases I had times with active and inactive leaders, an active leader makes all the difference. And the lack of a leader makes all of the difference. It can make or break people’s decisions to stay with enthusiasm and strive harder and give more and be more creative. With that said, the leader has to be a good one  that people believe in.

The cabal leadership affects me as a lowly minion in the game because it all trickles down. Good, active leaders keep good cabal members and they in turn create opportunities of conflict or aid for the lowly minions.

I vote for more cabal leadership!!!!

I did read it, i'm always offtopic tho, because the ontopic subjects are always too cliche!

Just throwing this out there again since it was swept under the rug in a previous thread (http://abandonedrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5161) and never really discussed properly...

More Set Items would be awesome, specifically a non-rare non-weapon-dependant set for Goods that gives hit and/or damroll. Evils have malicious beast, neutrals have thews. Golden Guardian is weapon dependant, and Platinum Might doesn't give hit/dam.

Knights have the lion-crested.

Everyone else can request mithril/wood/silver/gold dragon stuff while ghosted, even a few rares.

I was trying to make a set just like you said before realizing it isn't needed.
