Cell phones - It would be very cool if you could use the cell phones to place anonymous calls, not easily done, but if we can build player bots to serve as network sources of intel and data updates, it would be fairly easy to have an anonymous call relay that would simply re-route calls to their desired location but keep them secret, and for the sake of harassment - the dev's could easily check to see who said what as to avoid drama of harassment anonymously. Could also be a cool thing for the LEC's to do, because if rarebit were to do it, you'd never know if it was part of an event or just some player based RP. And we all know that what we don't know is always more interesting then what were sure of. Payphones could work the same way i suppose.

OH MY GOD! YOU MEAN NO WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE WHETHER IT WAS A LESIG EVENT OR A PLAYER EVENT??? GOD FORBID SOMEONE MISTAKENLY TAKE PART IN SOMETHING THAT'S NOT OFFICIAL!!! MYSTERY IS TOO COMPLICATED!!!

See but thats the best part about the development roundtable part of the forum. We get to throw all these awesome ideas out there and then the community very intelligently works out how exactly we could implement something like what was intended. Zudrag and I have been going back and forth about a FFAPVP related luggable that originally started as some crazy idea I had that was actually kinda bad. There is no harm in figuring out what we can and cannot do with what we have. The only thing I would like to see more of is what rarebit thinks of all this. What ideas does he like out of what hes seen posted here.

*sigh* I miss the ask the devs thread...

Actually there is a way to tell what ideas Rarebit likes and are feasable.... they happen

People started threads asking for an all Orgs Hostile zone.. we got Datamine.

People asked for Earpieces so we wouldnt neccessarily have to wear hats.. we got them.

People asked for some clothes with MA buffs to balance the Elite Commando gear... they are arriving shortly.

People asked for pants on the womens Gi's... done (tho many people who weren't asked are pissed about it)

I agree with Ballak that it would be nice if some of this content were not recycled, but yeah, reality is that truly new stuff is unlikely. Unfortunately, I think SOE still operates this Business like its 1999 and EQ is the only MMORPG out there. They need to wake up and realize that they will go down the tank if they dont find a way to keep their products fresh. Who really wants to play a game that takes 100's of hours of repetitive fluff just to level, when there are new game titles out practically every day? So this game is full of old-timers, PvP addicts, and lots of new players who fade away. The whole deal needs a revamp to adjust to the basic facts of competition in the game industry.

But, meh, not expecting...
