Re: What would you like to see them work on next?

I'd be horrified if they changed the mainland to be like Silan in terms of "questlike" missions, hand-holding, etc. If that happened I'd consider leaving to Planeshift. EDIT: Now...looking at my own signature, I feel a need to explain myself regarding this matter. I am afraid that making the game easier, with quests that appeal to the masses, would draw in very unsavory players. That already happens on Silan. They usually don't survive the transition to the mainland, and I'm happy about that because I fear the mainland becoming full of people who are incapable of doing anything that isn't guided and prescribed by the mechanics. These people tend to be unimaginative and demanding. I'm not saying everyone who likes quests is automatically unimaginative and demanding - I'm just saying it is common for those traits to be found in the same people, partly because they tend to come from certain games with certain mentalities. Hence, my aggressive opposition to any changes that make the game easier. I'm fine with changes that don't make the game easier or more widely appealing. For example, I'd be very opposed to "stealth" skills because that would nerf the fact that sneaking requires real skill. However, I'd love more crafting trees, or the ability to sit on chairs, or exploration of the Canopy branches.
I voted for fame rewards, because it makes sense to me that those who work on increasing their fame, especially getting max fame with all civilizations, should have some sort of mechanical recognition.
More working rites and encyclopedia entries would be wonderful since I love learning lore, but I'd rather see more introduced over time rather than "finished" all at once.
