-*[20:37] <torvald> what about some nice new quest rewards?
-*[20:37] <love_puppet> how about ramdom events?
+*[20:39] <omero> how about a 'cheque' you can spend at a one of the seller npc?
-*[20:37] <banki> eyah that would be nice
-*[20:37] <superkym> torvald: items, or other fresh ideas?
-*[20:38] <hendrikus> For example?
-*[20:38] <omero> a compas which shows danger of the zone
-*[20:38] <Oslsachem> like what, torvald?
-*[20:38] <omero> or a termometer...
 *[20:38] <love_puppet> when your playing the game you could be ramdom teleported to an area and asked to do some thing
-*[20:38] <hendrikus> omero, we need a good way to calcualte "danger of a zone" automatically. There was some talking about that earlier today.
-*[20:38] <torvald> well, for example a bank book, where you can see all your bank accounts. saves you from making screen shots
-*[20:39] <tigertoes> great idea
-*[20:39] <banki> or a mount for faste travling?
-*[20:39] <superkym> hmmm but i try to avoid things which actually make the game rather too easy
 *[20:39] <hendrikus> love_puppet at a random time? Or to a random place when doing something like using an orb?

 *[20:39] <love_puppet> it was on a nother game to get peple who where botting
 *[20:40] <love_puppet> but for the peoople at thare computer it was good

 *[20:40] <love_puppet> some thing any player could do
-*[20:40] <laguz> couldnt we add the option to buy more space for the chests?
-*[20:40] <superkym> laguz, we are (slowly) working on containers
-*[20:41] <superkym> so that you can buy or get rewarded a bag, a box, etc

 *[20:41] <love_puppet> but it kept u at your computer cus if u dident complete it in the time amount u where sent back to a ramdom area (a town) and u didenty ger the items
-*[20:41] <kezman> also in caves ?
-*[20:41] <laguz> ok
-*[20:41] <hendrikus> You already get more space as you grow stronger and get access to banks in more cities.

 *[20:41] <superkym> Indeed. You'd be surprised how many players don't seem to use their ados chests or the zara house chest at all!

 *[20:42] <madmetzger> i think most players are too lazy to walk there or spend scrolls for it

-*[20:42] <superkym> oops, i should not be a spoiler.
 *[20:42] <Oslsachem> in real life people don't want to have many accounts either for basically the same purpose

 *[20:42] <torvald> another thing would be to include information from the web site. as for example a creature lexicon, where you can see drops and their likelyhood by clicking on a creature

-*[21:03] <superkym> yes, to be honest isn't it the first rule of internet use?
-*[21:03] <tigertoes> i agree hendrikus, but not everyone agrees, there are many cultures here, not all agree
-*[21:03] <superkym> for me it is 'ingrained' just like 'don't touch this hot pan'
-*[21:03] <superkym> tigertoes, can you help with translation?
-*[21:03] <tigertoes> i know english only
-*[21:03] <Oslsachem> how about internationalization? it is a great hurdle for increasing our userbase and sth that will need to be dealt with sooner or later.
-*[21:03] <omero> I can help translating the rules in italian
-*[21:03] <hendrikus> Oh? No foreign language?!
-*[21:03] <superkym> tigertoes, i think oslachem already did a spanish translation of the rules. if you can recruit others to help that is fine.
