    i would like to see the old uo colored metals, each with special benefits.
    like dull copper starting at 85 and winding up with valorite at 120 skill, both mining and smithing.
    it could be the start of taking skills to 120 to get skill benefits.
    not many can get to 120 with crafting skills.
    that would be interesting.

    @DarkStarr For the "Power of the effect directly proportional to how many levels of masterworking/enchanting that have been applied" part, awesome by the way, will this be retroactive? i.e., will existing items convert?

    Repost from the instructions thread für R37 where I accidentally posted this:

    Really looking forward to the new conversation system!
    One suggestion though, if I may. Would it be possible to have a space, a blank line between the dialogue of the NPC and what we say? Right now sometimes it is hard to read as everything is a bit crammed together. So sometimes I don't know where the dialogue of the NPC ends and what I said begins. It looks like one block of text. A blank line between the dialogues would make it easier to read.

    "
    • Chat Windows: Chat tabs will be able to be pulled off and placed within the game window as separate chat windows.
    "

    This is welcome news.

    I would like to see a feature to auto complete avatar names in chat. Start typing a name and hit tab to cycle thru avatar names (based on those in your friends list and in the scene player list).

    For those of us with houses, apart from aesthetics, this won't be a huge thing. But I do feel for those who currently only have a chest sitting on a guild lot or in a guildhall house. In some cases, a single chest is all a character has to call "home." Hopefully the impact to them won't be tremendous. I suppose the worst case scenario is that they will need to store most of their stuff in their banks.

    As for the rest of the road-map, it sounds like a fantastic ride ahead! :)

    I only just started playing and am very new to the forum, so maybe this has been asked for before or its the wrong place. (Kindly asking for apologies, if so.)

    First of all let me state that I really appreciate the game so far; it has been quite some years since I started an MMORPG and straight forward liked it and got along with the way it was played.

    Now I do actually like the way interaction with NPCs takes part (that is typing in messages to them) but with the lots of dialogue it would be nice if all would be recorded. That is "recorded" would be the wrong term. It would be nice if you had a journal/dictionary where all the lines an NPC replied to a certain keyword could be reread later. I'm not thinking of an actual transcript of each dialog, rather more something like a "copy" of those parts of the database containing the replies of NPCs that a player has already heard. While it wouldn't be that immersive to consult such a dictionary, I think it would be very usefull.

    Best regards and keep up the good work,
    Malcolm

    I hope the crafting area in Brookside will remain where it is as that's why I placed my house there. Bit nervous about perma fog and this background with undead sounds scary but my character is tough having been a former Guard in Yew and used to (pc) Undead and Orc raids.

    So I see locks and traps but nothing about lockpicking and trap disarming. Are we putting the cart a few miles ahead of the cart yet again?

    This was nice to hear. The low durability of non exceptional items has really irked me. Making an armor piece that can only take 2 MWs before reaching 30 dura is very deflating.

    I was hoping the Ardoris themed wearables would be craftable but yet again - cash shop only. I assume we can expect the same to be true of the other regional wearables?

    Can we please have more information on this. We already have container limits based on lot size. Will we have limits on how many rooms can be rented? Will it be by lot size or by house type?
    I agree with limits, I just want to know what to prep for.
