If you could remove one thing from Zalanthas, what would it be and why?
Resisting the urge to just say Tuluk...
I'd say get rid of the Gemmed. Make magick rare and scary and not an entire portion of the city. Going to healers would be like visiting drug dealers in real life; shady, illegal, and awkward. They'd work out of places like The Mantis in the 'rinth.
I'd get rid of hit and replace it with martial arts so everyone is a kung fu legend.
death rooms
I forgot to put mine, whoops.
Half-giants
I feel they're hard to play corrrectly and way to rawr out of the gate.

city elves have been removed from player options due to the fact that rehashing them would require staff work that we don't have. city elves have not been removed. city elves can still be animated by staff. players just cannot play them anymore. you can still play the desert elf subrace, which is like city elf except you're physically competent and you're only allowed to talk to 5 other players.

what
Make being a citizen always mean more than being a tribal, is what I'm saying, and make it more protective, as far as that can go.
Why should being a citizen beat being a tribal?
Being a citizen does mean more than being tribal, in the places where citizenship exists... so I'm still not sure what you're getting at.
With the tablelands gone, those powerful tribes will be gone and as a tribal of a small tribe you don't have any weight to throw around in the cities for any reason, at any time.
Might change mine to hidden breeds, though. I just don't like 'em.
I'm still struggling to understand the problem you appear to be imagining or how removing the tablelands would resolve it.
So this thread doesn't turn into a discussion about tribals: In lieu of removing the crimcode, I would remove the twitchy, slack-jawed man, or all deceptive fall rooms.
I wish powerful tribes were gone. Does that answer your question?
Third place for me would be the coding of the silt sea and how wonky driving a skimmer on it can be. Make it neater and smoother.
NPC shops, but I think that would make things way too hard to get something.

I would remove the tailor BS of Red Storm.
I would just keep removing playable options until everyone is restricted to playing a human merchant in one city.

Armageddon has whatever the staff are interested in and feel inclined to make 'powerful', including tribes at any given time. I've seen my fair share of trends in my playtime.
I'd get rid of
glass ceilings for characters.
I understand why it was put into place in some ways but I feel like it ultimately pushed against my desires to play the game anymore. I still went on and played a couple of roles to contribute to the game (It IS A GREAT GAME) ((merchant houses, nobility)) but my fire for being driven, exited, and involved died out after my 40th character or so.
*Not such a big deal when a new issue of the game is being developed but eh,I heard that's not happening in this plane of existence anymore so... ::)
I've would like to see the Pah removed. Well not really...
Perhaps turned into an explorable zone like the silt sea or grey forest or maybe something crazier like once in thousand year monsoon (suggested that years ago I think). This would force the human and d-elves tribes to move between and around the cities, or into the eastern sandy deserts. The more successful of them (eg. the playable tribes) would realizing from the mistakes of the red fangs and to a lesser extent the gypies, that perhaps attracting the attention of the cities in negative ways is not good for survival. Thus attempting to establish forms of trade, alliances and avoiding aggravating its citizen with aggressive raiding and such would be good ideas. Soh would fit right into the eastern plains of tuluk, sharing magick hating ideals with tuluk. The sun runners somewhere in between luirs and allanak, having no quarrels with gemmers that may be roaming around those areas.
These are old rehashed ideas that have been floating around for a while now but I enjoy repeating them like a broken record. :)

#GetRidofSorcererKings2015
What would happen if there were no apartments?
- Huge player outcry, some players might even threaten to quit (and follow through)
- People forced into having mudsex outside or in alleys, backrooms, and alcoves...
- Fewer targets for PC burglars (I would absolutely *love* it if there were procedurally generated content in the game to support the burglars, in the same way the desert is like a procedurally generated hunting ground for rangers)
- Merchants/crafties unable to store massive amounts of raw materials; incentivized to join clans or work up to a level where they can rent a warehouse
- Higher player numbers in the shared parts of the game (taverns, markets, clan compounds, even a tent outside the gates) rather than behind locked doors; fewer newbies logging into an empty tavern; easier to hit critical social mass rather than having people wandering in and out of an empty tavern one at a time
- Independents having a harder time finding places to spar (forced to enter lawless areas or join a clan); incentivized to band together for protection in case someone gets injured

I really dig this. One thing I like about the rinth is that it has no locked doors. Another positive (or related): if you aren't in a clan (or one of the megarich that can afford an apartment, assuming we leave them around for the mega rich) you'll basically live in stuff poverty - since you won't have a safe spot to stash that stuff.
I'd be cool with that if only because I've only rented one apartment ever, and found it mostly useless.
Were that the case, I'd rather just reduce the number of apartments per city, and increase their cost by a factor of 10, and make each one a three room "suite".
Sure, they'd still all be taken up, but only by people who can afford the 3-5k a month. You'd KNOW who lives there.
But you'd also have to increase save-rooms or hiding spots in the cities (which is going awesome anyway)

Sorry, I think removing apartments or shooting the rent up ten times is kind of dumb. Not everyone wants to be forced into clans/forced to interact with you, I know sometimes I just need a break from the public scene, and, I can't be the only one. Don't implement change that forces other players to conform to your expectations. Indies aren't really that rich, I've said it before and again, because beyond a certain point your coin is meaningless and only the status and protections that come with joining a clan will provide any further kind of boost. There's some things goods, money, favors simply can't buy, and once you find them, you'll understand.
Not everyone wants to play in a clan. Clan structures, expectations, demands, these kinds of things can be a bit of heavy pressure, further, not all PCs are created with "join a clan" in mind. Remember too that you'd be pretty much ruining the new player created clan feature with such a change, since, good luck saving up the taxes you need while crafting in some back-alley save spot where anyone can come by, take your crap or possibly kill you at any time. Nope, dumb. And don't get me started on just how difficult it will make things for c-elves, who are pretty much doomed to stay independent no matter how much they may find themselves needing clan support.
Having a private area for quiet conversations, intimate relations or simply storing goods and having a place your PC can feel at home is not too much to ask. I don't see how any of you could think this would be a good change. So yes, let's look at the first thing in CodeMaster's list, huge player outcry, some may leave... and stop right there. Is that really wise, considering the number of players we're already fighting to retain? Yes, let's further amplify the problem with the removal of apartments, sounds good to me.
Why don't we just get rid of vendor coins as well and have the only source of coins in the game come from clan mini-quests which pay out a piddling number of coins which can trickle down into the economy. Well, why not? Because I've seen this thing tried before. Many people will say the reason that particular RPI is not active anymore is because blah blah blah, but the simple fact of the matter is the only decent source of currency was newb money, and the rest was just, scraping by into a slow demise, even the clans. Sorry, not my cup of tea, I play to enjoy my experience as well as have a sense of accomplishment if I succeed at something challenging, not punish and flog myself relentlessly in my free time.
Calling The Tablelands The Pah, should be removed.
You arn't allowed to call it The Pah unless you're speaking Allundean, which isn't a real language.
I would remove the amazing invisibility of creatures the size of houses (and also smaller ones!) located diagonally to me.

So far as this, it can happen without apartments. There are backrooms to taverns for quiet relations. As far as storing goods, why does everyone who went salting for 20minutes deserve a decent-sized apartment to store their goods?

... you're grossly over-estimating the amount of coin that can be made salting, as well as not considering the potential risks. If that's your problem, just move the salt flats further away or make them even more dangerous. BAM, problem solved, without ruining having some tiny-ass private space to store a few bagsof rocks and maybe a cot if you're lucky.
EDIT: Also, consider that the costs of those backrooms is far greater than the cost of an apartment over time. It doesn't work.

I agree. Use emotes or the accent code to indicate you're speaking with a thick accent... No reason what so ever to make it hard to read what you're trying to say. Especially so for people who don't speak English as a first language...it must be an absolute nightmare to roleplay with these people.
I guess this isn't one thing, but I would want to remove anything any other player likes.

I'm asking them to consider whether writing their dialogue like that is necessary to "enhance the role-playing experience". Many of these players are great role-players, I'm not going to complain about them to staff over something like this...wtf? I'm just thinking that if I can barely understand what they're saying, someone who doesn't speak English as a first language is basically going to have ignore this person entirely because they may as well be speaking in ancient Etruscan.
I've always been a fan of the idea of actual tavern rooms, rentable per day for a max of 1 rl week. No keys, no locks, just a guard that lets you past (or doesn't) depending on who's on the guest list. If you're logged out in the room when rent expires, the room inventory gets reset and you're set to log into the public dormitories.
Presto, you have your private meeting spaces for whatever reason you need them for; because we all know that's what apartments are mostly used for anyway.
OT: my vote goes for the Sorcerer-Kings and all-powerful omnipotent beings in general.

I think he was basically just saying complaining about it on the GDB is pointless, and if you really don't want others to do it, player-complaints would be better.
I've complained about people who don't use punctuation or capitalization. Fuck those people it's so awkward to be around them.
Never ran into someone who used accents in a way that made it hard to understand what they're saying though, so I don't really see the problem with that.
English is my second language, and I can read through accents just fine.
And though you could argue for the accent code already portraying speech differences, sure, we only have one accent covering Luir's, the Warrens, the tuluki commons, the bards, and the northern nobility.
It's part of the reason why I think there should be a posh-accented sirihish tag.
I can't agree with Fujikoma more especially with the player-clan thing. Even before policies and warehouses were in place, some people were working out of apartments. Too well perhaps, that the apartment storage capacity was reduced.
The way housing works in this game can really be called a feature of the game at this point. I don't think I've seen another game, mud, mush, rpi or otherwise do houses as well as Armageddon mud. Small apartments people can be followed in to, spied on, robbed, or beaten isn't a lot to ask for, besides your apartment is probably one of the number one place in the game you are most likely to get murdered.
Instead of removing apartments, remove 25% of the npc soliders in the day, and 50% of them at night. Maybe then more exciting things will happen in taverns and people will be more willing to spend time there.
The only ones I'm worried about are the blind folk with screen readers, and that my bug filings have been ignored on huts, buildings, windows and the like which don't show up with brief room turned on, I think I can guess the stance on that.
That being said, Hellmoo, over the past god knows how many years, has had some rather amazing (and some just donwright infamous) blind players, despite the hideous, impossible to understand chat filters and spammy coded items like vuvuzelas, which seemed designed to grief screen-readers (although, after further reflection, a cooldown timer was placed on the blow function of these items), but then, besides the difficult to adjust boat code, usually obstacles to players using screen readers were quickly identified and removed, and it was frowned on to page-spam a blind player random letters and numbers (or at least, on the versions I've played, it was considered really bad form). I'm much more sensitive to those with disabilities than those with a language barrier, I've met many with english as a second language who do just fine.
TL;DR, I think some of you are complaining just to have something to complain about. Pretty much par for the course, but a little off-putting when there are actual concerns to be addressed that go beyond mere "pet-peeves".
Also, yes, Harmless, remove everything but the auto-truncating emote code, consolidate all players in the same room, eliminate all races but human, and have the descs of all PCs auto-generated.

I'd remove the ability to contact people you don't even know/have seen and replace it with some sort of 'scan' command. After you scan someone in the same room, you can contact them.

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 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?

Seriously, those are wtf items.
Remove the twitchy slack-jawed man's spawn point from the rinth, and place it somewhere in the Atrium.
The Steel dragon above the gates of 'nak, But just for a couple IRL days/a week maybe. And then randomly have echoes

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.

YES! Or maybe just Tektolnes, fuck that guy, he's a dick.
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.

Summon.
Only if you reduce the karma needed and make summon "consent only" rather than removing it.
. . . Heh.
Let's not talk about magick or whatever on the GDB. They're watching. Waiting.

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.
FUCKING TOLD YOU THEY WERE WATCHING. STAB OUT, STAB OUT, GO GO GO.

The beggar outside the Trader's Inn... that guy is so annoying.
I would remove the Trader's Inn

Crim code for non-fatal violence in cities. In a harsh world where you could easily be killed for a drink of cool, clear, precious water, HOW can you wind up being dragged to jail for punching someone in the street when he calls your mother a northie? Keep hit, but make the attack more about the RP and less about the killing/knocking out/ hurting business.
I want a character who is prone to violent outbursts in public and doesn't get arrested for spitting on a breed!

No more or less so than human commoners?
Now all we need to do is remove Allanak. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

No templars. No crimcode. No apartments. Free for all in the wastes, with only Red Storm and Luir's as the remaining bastions of civilization. I'd play this game.

You want the crimcode of Luir's and Storm removed as well?
Allanak.
The harsher elements of crimecode and the insane amount of guards in Allanak.

I sometimes will miss important stuff, like people talking to or about me due to all the look spam.
Especially, looks on hidden/invis PC's/VNPC's. The only time you should see these looks is if there is a pre-emote or post-emote included in the look.

I don't really have a problem with look emoting, would prefer it didn't but it's not a big deal to me. This, however. This is fucking so annoying and should definitely be a hemote. Nothing quite like 2-3 other people "noticing" you caught someone who was hiding, and then spamming scan.

To counter this, I look at the person and go "The fuck you looking around for". Then they feel awkward.
Or if they are bigger than me they threaten me.
Same thing.

As an above poster said, I've missed important things because of look emotes!
On board for look to be a hemote.
I've posted this before, I believe, but I'd remove static flora spawns around the world. Randomize them a bit within their own area of spawn points, and make those of us who know the world better than our own hometown have to hunt around for some of those highly sought-after plants.
