Problems and things that might need changing/fixing in game
Moderator: Moderators
Events
Hmm, hunting event prizes for the noble league might use a bit of an uptune. Perhaps a change of material for noble league after the current best version of the spear, from steel to fine steel when double the current max effective points are collected. Then to iceron after doubling that ... It just might make the spear actually worthy of being used by the nobles, instead of the usual impaler 
And finally, fishing event rods should not be limited to that low +10 anymore, back to the good old days of unlimited power!
OK, sleep now.

herbal lore indeed could have have some message when it works. ot salve's description could look differently indicating that it is more potent than usual.
end grow herbs spell would be nice too.
for instance, i need to cast 1400 times to make 85-90 standard stun powders (assuming average 10%-15% mixing fail rate). a bit too much. imho.

New Plaque
We could use a plaque that shows the players who have killed the most different mobs in Icesus. Score could also keep track of this information. 'You have killed 2183 of 4533 mobs in Icesus'
Also, players could receive additional exp if it is the first time they have ever killed that mob.
Congratulations! You have just killed Ceanna for the first time.
You feel more expirenced.

Summarizing and seconding of motions.
I can agree with most of what others have posted thusfar, even if individual views are narrowed in on their own specific guild and/or race.
I figured it'd be a much better idea, not to mention a lot cheaper exp-wise, to reinc a bunch of times with lower totals and give a broad array of guilds/races a try just to develop some solid opinions through trial.
My own views also concentrate on more attention to individual guilds. As Osma said, though not at all limited to rangers, some tuning and tweaking could be in order. I think it'd be nice to develop and nurture more interactivity in each guild and between guilds when it comes to working toward common goals. Naturally these goals boil down to exp'ing or eq-running or a mix of the two. -- I'd like to see something that resembles in nature the benefit of shifters partying together or army partying together available to the other melee-oriented guilds. We're all in the front line, we're all working together, make it worth the effort of doing so.
Also, seeing areas finished that have likely been around long, long, and long before I came around would be a good thing. Something about noticeably incomplete areas just doesn't fit.
(Let me know if I could help, even!)
Lastly, more attention to consistency where it concerns personal ability would be fantastical. I can understand random fluctuation when it comes to balancing things out, but if you're skilled then your abilities should reliably reflect that you are skilled. A warrior could not remain a warrior if he could afford to have a bad day behind his sword.
I could probably go on for hours but I'll stop for now. I look forward to seeing Icesus grow in the right direction, and also hope that the direction holds true to keeping the game as original as it is intended to be.

Meditation ought to have a chance for LBD boost when it ends, period - automatically or not. I'm not saying you should get better when you're suddenly attacked by Small brown rat and are STUNNED from breaking concentration...but it would be a nice help for people other than Monks of Temperance who just use it for passive regen. That is, spellcasters who end meditation automatically at full SP. Why should ending it manually be the only way for them to learn by doing?

Trapping could be made again what it was when I started playing in 2001 or so: Useful.
Also now that main guilds are being tuned to be 60 levels or so, the skill progression should be made more even and not jump straight to the maxes at the very last level in subs that had levels taken out of them.
Like enhance criticals from 37% to 80% when advancing from 9 to 10 in Nightbringers. (Used to be a 15-level sub, so the maxes from the removed 5 levels were just put to the 10th level)
Some general guidelines could be written regarding the morals and ethics of quest_info sharing and possible punishment if blatant sharing occurs.
There hasn't been an official area creation contest since 2004. We should have one every year!

Icesus is not just my life - it's the lack of it.

Oh yeah, making them about 10 times as durable as nowadays wouldn't upset the balance much. (what balance, they are uselesssolar wrote:Trapping could be made again what it was when I started playing in 2001 or so: Useful.

Just bring back mage traps indoors, balance means setting lightning traps in rat warehouse
Or, for serious proposal: when hunting, if you find an animal and it sets off a trap that was already in the area, have it take bonus damage like they do from almost all other sources (spells, throwing, etc.) on the first hit. Would actually make "trap ambush" slightly useful and encourage more active trappers.
