Suggestion Thread: Game Mechanics/Gameplay/Requests

[Futo]

The first suggestion thread is no longer being maintained. A new one has been created to allow people a quick summary of suggestions in order to prevent duplicates.
I'm not going to add credits next to the suggestions but if a post has a lot of detail surrounding a suggestion I will add a url to the person's post. If I missed any from the first thread please just yell at me and I'll add it to the list.

I have one- a method to choose which server you connect to.

Server status levels: empty, normal, and full.
Empty: There is a low player load on this server. Recommended.
Normal: Normal. >.>
Full: Player load is high. Players cannot join this server any more after a certain point.

Players can choose a server either from a clickable icon or from a list. I think a little server icon and then a name below it would be nicer.

EDIT: Concept picture here.

I'll edit this post later with a drawn example. ^^

This is coming up in the future.

Oh, well, I'm still going to post my idea of the graphical interface xD

What about amulets of some sort, or necklaces.
And maybe players could make their own, when the crafting skill comes out. Like they could use gold they find from chests, drops, etc. in the cave and what if they make gems that you can use with the gold to create the amulets, necklaces, or whatever. Maybe even bracelets, or rings to. They would give the player strength, or intelligence, armor, etc.

i.e Ruby Amulet = +2 strength

Item customization - given the right items (should be pretty difficult), you can imbue your item with an extra bonus of some sort, depending on the used items.
Gambling - if "Loot Randomization" comes into play, one can gamble for an item with a random stat setting at a high price.

neck was at one point a character slot and was changed to face. I think it is better with face items over neck. And to add another character slot would kinda throw off the character screen (as everything fits the way it is).

This thread is a WIN.

What about earrings? you can see the ears of the characters.. All you need to do is add a little sparkle and there ya go

Make a one-time spell (like the XP boost) that turns yourself into a random enemy for 3 minutes. Costs like 1 Gem. We thought of that while experimenting with the broken Nerdy Specs.

I swear people will buy this junk like mad.
