I would just like to point out, within 12 hours of the announcement of new management, the numbers have doubled online. I believe these changes really bring hope to a game that desperately needs it. Someone who has the mindset that it is still 1995 was just not working. I'm sure Hoss has some great intentions, but let's face it. He's not a very good people person.....at all. Social skills are required to maintain good relations between staff and players. With that said, I welcome our two new, active Overseer's and hopefully usher in a new age of change.
Some things that I think could be addressed(sorry for not waiting for the discussion board):
Bringing the old sets back: easily loaded sets that didn't have a gigantic impact on the game and gave something solo players could easily load.
Change the existing sets to have their original stats: many of the sets were perfectly fine and rewarding once you finally achieved 6/6. However once you lost even one single piece, it could take a week to get it back and you're stats would suffer severely without that piece.
Skills: Some skills just take a ridiculously long time to train and it deters players from making X class. A shaman having to hunt down every spell required AND train 12 or so skills to superb vs a cleric who trains bandage, turn, and meditate/scribe and load a few spellbooks. Skills that have a very long cooldown and seem to train at a reduced rate are just crazy and time consuming more than anything. It's become very tedious.
Decay timers: Some items take 30 seconds to load and can have a fairly big impact on characters. A wrist buckler comes to mind, sure it's not that great on it's on, but when it takes 30 seconds from login to check it, it should decay way faster than something with a similar stat that takes an entire high lvl zone of 6+ people to acquired.
Ranks: I would like to perhaps see more ranks of an individual rank. Ie: if I want more than 4 int ranks or dex ranks I should be able to purchase them. It's a toss up between gearing towards a stat and changing some gear with ranks. If I want to spend my hard earned rank points on something I should be able to.
Leveling: The experience from 27-30 is a really huge increase and could possibly be adjusted.
Stats: Let's face it, there are literally three races in the game right now. If you aren't a wipe rushed character or a gully dwarf, minotaur or dargonesti, you aren't shit. Although it's fun to mix things up and add a little spiciness to being legend, being it almost a requirement to be one of these three races sucks. With the str changes on weapons hopefully being reverted it won't be that big of a deal, but it still has a huge impact on the game so far.
Weapons are being adjusted and this is a huge step in the right direction.
