As requested...
I know I asked not to pick ideas apart but I wanted to make one of my ideas a bit more clear
#10. The Evil truly evil starting city. I didnt mean go kill "good" PC's. I do not beleive most of the people can truly handle PvP with the amount of maturity it needs to make it work correctly. I meant in from this Evil City you would have quests to go kill Farmer "X" rather than go help find his lost cow. Or Go steal weapons and deliver them to the Evil City to get your Helm of Armor 1 and 2. That sort of thing.
Anything regarding alignment, race, class, gender, whatever-based starting areas is not sustainable given the player population, even in its most ideal form. Not only that, but the whole idea of a city full of evil people doing evil things, gosh the things they get up to, is itself difficult to do. Better would be to integrate quests targeting evil PCs into an existing starting area, like an underground, or whatever.
We are trying to merge player populations, not divide them further.
So from this I would scratch the entire concept of any new starting areas and instead make it a much more reasonable request of static quests that have a little more ethical variety to them, possibly even with a choice of how they are completed. I really can't stand the fed-ex quest system in general, but leaving the bulk as they are and just adding a few worthwhile ones could spread some variety.
Vehl - Shady dude fedex just asking for tainted substance in gloom woods cave. Reason to go there, clear intention to manufacture and sell. Perhaps you could consider an option on completion to take either gold or some basic instruction in exchange, and get poison crafting XP.
Toss an Az'attan in the Gloom Woods that appears if you have accepted
or denied quest (on conversation having happened at all) that wishes a sample herself for the purpose of a cure, and you can only turn it in to one person. *shrugs*
Do anything 2409523092 times and it's going to get stupid. But at least there are already 2-3 more possible outcomes and isn't a) help me save my puppy or b) help me collect this blood of virgin.
