I'd remove the sometimes unrelenting focus on Zalanthas being a "desert planet," because if it truly was all our characters would be dead by now. Add in a little more variation of terrain and weather. Think sandstorms are annoying? Try flash floods.

Zalanthas already has a pretty wide variation on terrain.  Player an explorer type sometime and I think you'll see what I mean.

As for your example of flash floods, they've happened, and much more recently than the famous one that ravaged Tuluk.

I'd remove some of the "Find out IC".

Like maps of the major cities including known stay-put merchants, it's a bit off-putting for a new player to try and realistically play a character that is a full-grown adult, but doesn't know where to guy to buy an ale.

"help map allanak" and "help map tuluk" are both handily available to everyone in game.

but a pretty graphical version on main website that looks easier to interpret would be great and there really isn't any reason why it shouldn't be put up.

I would remove easily accessible, natural water sources.

Water should be way more scarce on a desert planet.

I agree with this one in terms of any water source that is known for long enough by enough people should be used up, or consolidated and claimed as the property of some noble house. Be the change, perhaps?

Pretty sure I've posted this before; but I'd remove static spawns for pickable plants and mining nodes, and make them spawn at random locations within their intended terrain.

I almost said shortcuts to unrealistic wealth/skill gain, but then I remembered the real bĂȘte noire.

>get figurine shelf

You take the tiny brass silt horror figurine from the spacious and otherwise completely empty shelf.

think I better put this back.
You think "I better put this back," and if I may add, you totally should.

>put figurine shelf

There's no more room for that here.

>flip table

There would be no more room for the table to land.

>sigh

There's no more room for the air you are trying to exhale.

This just really annoys me! I thought my container-thing was bugged but it wasn't! It shrinks in size every day so I put less and less stuff in it. :/

It's a problem I've encountered with numerous containers and rooms, particularly when trying to move 40000/50000 coins at a time.

I've done a few experiments with different sized coin piles, splitting them up and the like, but not enough to really tell what's optimal. Kind of hard to test when you've got poor strength.

I'd remove the sorc kings by having them perish in an ultimate heavy metal battle superhero team-up battle with the badguy dragon, and have the cities ruled by a council of powerful but mortal templar instead.

There'd be nothing left. The world ends. We move onto playing cat people. Two become Sorc's, and start arguing about how they should control the world. they found separate cities. the world starts again. With Cat people. maybe the Dog-people too.

But One leader will be a Golden maned Lion, the leader of his people. carrying the sword of the white king and backed by his grey-maned Jaguar teacher, Cheetara. The other, a ginger cheetah, thwarted at every turn by our follower of the white king. A despot with the ability to predict the future, kept at bay only by the wit and physical power of the Lion King, Rickman, defender from Nyr, the despot, the nay-sayer, follower of the black Hero-King. he carries only his quarterstaff.

I reckon we could get a few series and maybe a movie.

MeTekillot is right; please do not mention magick in specifics on the GDB. As it stands right now, I don't see anything gone to specifics, but it's come close.
