On a more serious note, are there plans to fixed the wondering mission NPCs soon? I was stood in mara today and someone on a trial showed annoyance and was basically put off MXO because of it.
Why is it that many clothing items don't match other items of the same named color? Example: Slate Jayne Half Duster and Slate Plain Slacks

Just wondering - how much Multi-language do you know? For writing the stories and stuff. Merovingian is obviously French - so how much French do you know and as for Pace who adores Italian - how much Italian do you know?

I seem to recall you mentioning the Casanova's biography like a year or so ago. I would agree on the Pulitzer remark. Per my nickname, I gave to ask, any read any Neal Stephenson?
And if that isn't MxO enough, do you ever try and incorporate new and/or low-level players, say less than level 10, into events?

Oh, Snow Crash. I've heard of that, at least. But I don't tend to follow modern authors very closely. I'm finding more and more that what attracts me in books is not only a slow, carefully developed story, but, maybe even more importantly, the author's language; I don't mean French or English or whatever, necessarily, but the way in which they write; so much contemporary writing is just incredibly flat next to the sound of Shakespeare, Melville, Radcliffe, Thackeray, Malory, Trollope, Twain, old Russian writers, even in translation, like Turgenev and Pushkin, and others like Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, even relatively recent writers like Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Margaret Mitchell, and Faulkner. Really, I think the blunt modernist mode made ubiquitous by Steinbeck and Hemingway--while I like a lot of what those two wrote--has completely ruined contemporary writing. We no longer write with an ear to tone, meter, and harmony; we don't even have anything like the breadth of vocabulary or mastery of language that the leading English writers had a century ago. Now it's just shock-jock schlock, for the most part.

That does make a lot of sense, but sometimes it might be cool for a veteran's new alt to be able to interact without having to level forever and establish him/her self in game. And the occasional time where you did get a new player, I would imagine it would eally make an impact.
Perhaps if players just press-ganged new players (or at least player they thought to be knew) into going to Events, that would be just as good.
It is too bad that you do not have the ability to screen a character name to see how long they've had a billing account, as that might clear up the alt issue.
Anyway, Merry Christmas (or whatever)!
FFQ:
Will female agents ever spawn and attack us? (citing the female agent in Anome's demise cinematic)
My question lies within my idea.
I was thinking to get more use out of the Contacts, they could have their own Rep points, which grants the player FFA Rep points, making them a "loner" or independant party backed by "X" contact. The contact is irrelevant (perhaps relevant for RP uses) but other than the "contact rep points" you are a FFA PvPer.
Could this ever be possible?
