Ideas for items?

lately theres been a lot of talk about warriors using hp items, casters having to compete for those items, etc.. Was wondering about the possibility of diversifying items. I know Cyric put in a post that there are 8700 something items in the game and he is revising them, thought maybe we could help ...

I think it's a cool idea, but I agree with corth and some of the others when I say that requiring to quest for the materials is a little much. What ever happened to the cure disease spells? cure blind/remove poison are here, why not those? Paladins in D&D have immunity to disease and the ability to ...

1) Wouldn't it be a good idea to break up the skills for mounted combat? Atm, a single skill controls offensives, flankblocks and charges. I agree with this.. and maybe a revamp on charge.. it is only useful to abort a spell IF a stun is landed, (the less than one round stun) and I think most of us...

Ok, I know tanks have used HP equipment before.. I just don't remember it being a necessity.

Combat System

This was kinda hit on with another post..but it wasn't the topic so I started a new one. Tanks as a whole now are required to wear all the HP eq that has historically been used by casters because of the new combat system imho. Before mobs hit more often but for less, now they hit less but crit A LOT...

Dying/Trophy?

It seems to me that when I die, the mobs on my trophy spike up. I haven't paid super close attention to it so i'm not positive but i'm about 70% sure it happens. Why is this? It's bad enough that we die and lose exp, but to make the trophy on the stuff we're getting xp from harder??

reboots.

Earlier today I was in a group, and we got those infamous words "reboot in 5 mins" We all know that that means anything from 30 seconds to 5 hours, or not at all. One of the guys in my group managed to fumble, and immediately afterwards the mud rebooted. This has probably happened to a lot of people...

I wouldn't say its a bad idea, but it is a drastic change to the way things have been done.

I agree handing out quest info isn't cool, you could at least give vague hints that could nudge them along without straight up walking someone through. But hoarding information just so you can be the only one with the uber EQ is kinda low. For one because you KNOW you're going to share that info wit...
