Genie in a bottle - Grant me one wish.

[ShaLeah]

If you had ONE wish to be granted by staff that you think would make the game better,  what would it be?

One wish and one wish only.

Please don't berate others wishes.  I'm just crazy curious if it'll be the same ones.

I'll start.

My wish is that magicks would go back to how they were. Alllll of them.

Convert all items/rooms/NPCs into a public database in which updates could be submitted and approved by the community and posted live.

Also make a web based submission tool for new items/NPCs/rooms that can be pushed live.

....Maybe that's not a MUD anymore

[WanderingOoze]

I want Bash Door.

[Veselka]

Equal content addition to subtraction. The pendulum seems to be swinging this way already, so my genie bottle is better than yours. 

[Pale Horse]

A hostile nation of some sort that's beyond/within the silt sea and sends raiders/pirates out to harass settlements.  Occasional option to fill a special application or Staff appointed roll call to play as part of a crew.

Similarly, any hostile nation at all that can host PCs. Our numbers are looking bretty gut these days and we're not far from sustaining two major city-states, especially if satellites are reduced some. Basically right now if you are involved in PvP it's largely criminal in some regard or the other. If your victim escapes, enjoy banishment life. Be nice to be able to get some gud fights o7 without having to lock someone in an apartment for fear of social reprisals.

I think it would be awesome to have Tuluk turn outwardly hostile to the Known World. Staff could load up soldiers on occasion that are aggressive to people they come across on their patrols (unless your PC has the tattoos) and staff could sometimes animate a Templar and direct these soldiers to patrol lands claimed by Tuluk! The city and the clans might be closed, but they're still a threat to the civilized south

[Grapes]

Elf ninja clan.

I want nilazi back, whether subguilded or full-guilded, but I feel like that was already covered by ShaLeah's wish.

I just wish staff would worry less about favoritism and more about blowing our minds with cool and unique stuff/storylines. I think that there was a lot of gross favoritism at one time, and staff have done a lot of admirable things since then to crack down on it and dispel our notions of staff pets or whatever. Now I think we could relax things a bit more. I hear so many cool stories from before my time, and they just don't seem like something that would ever happen now, and I think much of that is because staff are worried about being accused of giving their girlfriends perks or something. There were good things and bad things about that era, and I think we can borrow from the good while learning from the bad.

I wish I won 500 million on the powerball. I would donate 25k a year to keep a paid staffer.

Failing that, I would take bash door.

I wish that the glass ceiling would be raised. Not that certain heights would be common - just achievable without storage.

Yeah, definitely. To me this is a big part of my own suggestion.

[Miggy]

I remember it was mentioned in another thread after Tuluk closed, but I would love to see Tuluk open as a large city ruins, where raiders, rogues, escaped slaves and bandits go to claim a home. There could be fearsome beasts, strange underground humanoids, all kinds of adventure. There could be treasures buried under the mounds of collapsed stone to find, so that folks would want to go there. I think it would add a lot to the world to have a big city ruins that was a playable place.

[lostinspace]

full magicker guilds back, subguilds can stay.

[nauta]

genies

[Grapes]

They'd probably be more like The Wishmaster and less like Robin Williams in Aladdin. That, actually, would be pretty cool.

[LucildaHunta]

If you die within a certain time frame with family roles you can have a do over.

[Lizzie]

Add a third subguild option and let people choose three subguilds if they want, instead of only one main guild plus a subguild. With the caveat that if they choose an elemental subguild, any subsequent mage-based subguild must be of the same element.

So they could pick krathi-agressor and krathi-touched, plus thug.

Or vivaduan healer plus vivaduan water-maker, plus scavenger.

And yes bring back scavenger!

..... I initially rewrote this song's lyrics to include my wishes... It was so cringy, I just couldnt post it. xD

Monetize the GDB's clicks. (If that wouldnt go against DIKU's licensing agreement)
Pay for gaming review channels to boost our numbers. Attack of the newbs for a few months.
Take on new staff. Volunteers should work a couple days a week, and rotate.
Unban all of the peoples. New staff will take care of problem people after they squander second chances.
Use the influx of players to reopen everything. Tuluk. Smaller houses. Gith. Mantis.
Create a room+item building tool.
Focus on world expansion, down, east, and south.

The chaos that would ensue would be very entertaining, much more-so than controlled monotony.

[Nao]

Every once in a while, have an RPT that doesn't start in the middle of the night if you're in the EU.

[X-D]

#1 Red fangs
If not that, almost any other delf tribe outside the Pah.
If not that then see #2

#2 Playable gith tribe.

[Dar]

Truth be told. If staff were to create a second version of the forums/website/etc, but one filled with advertisement. Something that players would actually require an extra step to enter. I would've loved to use it to provide some revenue that staff could spend on improving the game somehow, or offsetting costs.   So anyone entering Arm's websites normally, would enter the one we're entering now. But someone who wants it enough can enter it via a different address, just to get all those extra ads. Would this be something viable?

[Pretentious]

Add utility to the more niche guilds rather than nerfing the ones that do well. I'll try not to be too specific here.

[RogueGunslinger]

I'd just wish for staff have less workload to get their own ideas and plots into the game. Working around the code, other staff, the players, and their own lives must be pretty exhausting sometimes.
