Proposals

From LSWiki

I created this entry with the intent of having a page where new ideas and proposals can be viewed by one and all, and commented upon accordingly. Sometimes some of us may think we have an awesome idea, only to find out it is either already implemented or we are the only one aware of the awesomeness. Other times, the community as a whole rather agrees with the notions.

As such, my first proposal is to add a Forum to the web site. I am not sure how much work that would be, or if it would be any different than what I am trying to do here, so I figured I would ask and get the feedback from more web-savvy and code-savvy individuals. Or if someone has a better way of handling what I am trying to do, please inform me of such. --Bladestorm 13:22, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

I have one as well. How about a "Status" message on the webpage and perhaps a display of "uptime"? There have been many instances when I cannot log in, and don't know why or how long the outage will last. I realize that most of our downtime is reboot related, but there have been outages lasting for hours. it would be nice to know what's going on and what the ETA is. --Kabal 12:49, 28 April 2008 (PDT)

I agree with Kabal about the need of a status message, if only to know when a connection issue is my problem or whether it's the game that's actually down. --Zyll 20:50, 31 May 2008 (EDT)

I've used one with scheduled maintenance windows a couple of times. Dunno if anyone noticed. It seems like not the most productive thing ever, though, since for such a high percentage of problems that will prevent you from reaching the MUD, you won't be able to reach the Web site either, since they run on the same server. —Chaos 21:45, 31 May 2008 (EDT)

While perhaps this is just asking for a buff, it would be nice if in the Brotherhood of Wine and Song you could teach the leader Danilo new taverns you had been to and bar hopped from and then be able to bar hop your way back to them once you had. He does in fact ask you to tell him about any other good taverns you come across so it seems to me to fit well into the flavor of the guild. The additional power would be counter balanced by the fact that you would have to earn it by finding your way to new bars in the first place. I'm thinking specifically of Nexus and the Vlekthid city. Because, you know, it's awesome being drunk out of your skull in towns populated by touchy beings of great power. Makes a human feel much more at home... --Lanos 21:12, 08 September 2008 (EDT)

I've got two ideas that I think would be nice. First is another buff attempt for The Brotherhood of Wine and Song that occurred to me as I was leading a group...if you are out drinking with a bunch of people shouldn't you be able to lead them around to continue the drinking binge? Being able to tavern hop a whole group would be very nice for keeping a group together and running the grind.

The second request is purely cosmetic but would be a fun thing for followers. The dragon that Eris was so kind to gift me is great, but she is always telling me that I may go since she is not hungry. I would love to be able to modify or add to the strings she says. I make her laugh at my jokes already, so having a piece of code tell people that "Quell is the nicest Fomor I've met" would be yet another twisted and vaguely sad way to boost my self image. Being able to change a followers default behavior or sayings would help further personalize them and help people care about their virtual pets. Just some thoughts!
