I have compiled a list of all the things I could find that needed to be added to AO. They are categorized, as well... Mostly just a vague list. This is an OPEN list- post things that you think need to be added if I missed something.
Balancing:
Uhm. I just realized I have NO CLUE about what needs to be done. Wow, I suck. I'm going to let you guys fill this one in. My only comment:
-Do away with the level req. on nanos.
Content:
1. Storyline
a. We need an actual storyline, with events that follow the storyline.
2. Clubs
a. Open a lot of the 'closed' clubs.
b. Add more clubs.
c. Add cool stuff to clubs.
d. Add a SkyBar, which floats above Omni-Ent.
e. Casino/Lottery.
3. Apartments
a. Either do away with the item limit or raise it to AT LEAST 20
b. Add more furniture.
c. I suggest handling apartments this way:
You purchase an apartment depending upon quality. For example, a low-quality apartment would come with a template consisting of:
-One main room (with perhaps a couch or chairs)
-A small bedroom (with a bed)
-A bathroom (with a toilet)
You could then purchase higher-quality apartments, which would add:
-More rooms
-Item limit raised
-Windows
-More set furniture
d. Your keycard would be like a container for other keys. This way you could have access to multiple apartments, even in the same door, at one time.
e. Apartment access commands (Open to all, open only when I'm here, closed to all)
f. The ability to reset your apartment
4. Places of Interest (this sort of overlaps Clubs)
a. Make the Lush Hills resort more...resort-y.
b. Add a casino
c. Add jails.
5. Social Content
a. More emotes:
-sleep
-faint
-freeze (pauses the current emote)
-frontflip
-more dances
-group emotes
-sing
-punch/kick
-Leet dancing
-comehere
-hug (hugs whoever you're targetting)
-poke
-dive (actually moves you)
-pushup (Heehee, then when someone won't do what you want, you yell 'DROP AND GIVE ME 20!')
-socials for our pets
-flamingo (stand on one leg)
-airguitar
-Breakdancing!
-posture (affects the way you stand, walk, and hold items)
-slowdance (Slowdances with the person you have targetted)
-laydown
-macarena
-dive
-slowdance
-rave
-cartwheel
-the foxtrot
-karate training/stretching-type stuff
-and many more!
b. The ability to take a friend for a ride in yalm/car
c. A set chapel for weddings (but also the ability to have your wedding someplace exotic, like you can now)
6. Gameplay
a. Add map marking
b. Add a mail system, where for some extra credits you can have an item appear directly in a friend's inventory.
c. Make a sort of 'group list'. It would list ALL groups in the current playfield: with information such as: Current leader, lowest level, highest level, and slots open.
d. Let us name our backpacks. We could name them stuff like 'Mission loot' 'Collected Monster Parts' ect. ect.
e. When we drop an item, it should display the item model, not a small black box with ?'s on it.
f. JETPACKS!
g. In the team window, have the information already there, the level, AND a picture indicating which profession they are.
h. If you kill a guard of your own alignment, you lose a token for every 10 levels of the victim. You will still get xp and loot. If you do not have any more tokens you will be foreced to neutral.
i. A one-time Character Head Skin...re-choosing.
j. Make mission maps highlight the entrance room and elevator room in a different color.
k. Make a quick exit in the boss room of every mission to the outside.
l. Allow players to write their own books/guides and have them sold in AO shops for credits.
m. Add drink making tradeskills and items. Seeing as CompanyMan's post is gone (I think?), these drinks would add a little to some skills. Stackable? (up to, say, 5 at once)
n. More vehicles
o. Drinking too much alters your text to 'slur' it and adds some visual changes. If you drink way way too much you will automatically terminate
p. Profession channels
q. A slider to change the opacity of the chat window.
r. A Cosmetic Surgery machine to change our body type/head.
s. Customizable AFK message
t. Reload button
u. A player marketplace. There would be one, as a seperate zone, in Trade/Ent, Tir/Athen, and Newland/Borealis. (As in 2 per faction) You could go inside and there would be lots of stalls, with NPCs standing next to them. You could talk to the NPC, and depending upon how much money you gave them, you could rent the booth for a certain amount of time.
v.Once you had the booth rented, you could 'use' it and it would pop up a box which you could put stock into. Then you could set a price for each item. Players would come along and browse, and try to haggle if they thought a price was too high. Let's face it, the shopping channel is kinda useless.
w. An 'Employee of the Day' board, with a randomly chosen player's profile and stats. This would change every RL day.
x. We shouldn't face the mob attacking us.
y. [AFK] should appear on our names when we are /afk.
7. Vehicles
a. Bumper stickers (Honk if you love leets, I <heart> my gun)
b. Speederbikes.
c. Hoverboards.
8. Clothing
a. Make open trenchcoats, so you can see part of the armor/clothing beneath. (Mmm...Matrix. )
b. More shoes! I want colored sneakers!
c. More casual-type clothes...such as jeans, shorts, t-shirts with Baboons/Bronto Burger logos on them
d. Make Senpai coats, the flamey ones- in different colors. Cooool.
e. Let guilds make a custom uniform.
f. Wedding clothes (veil, top hat and black suit)
g. Hats and wigs (So we can change our hairstyles)
h. REGULAR glasses
i. Dresses
j. HALLOWEEN COSTUMES! This isn't hard to implement. Really, just add props, and maybe some more clothing that semi-resembles other stuff.
k. Little leet costumes
l. Almost all male pants are BLACK...
m. Knee-length skirts
n. Leet fur coats, so I can boycott them! (They should be REALLY expensive)
o. Cargo pants.
p. More colors of cloaks...we Illemonati (NOT Illuminati, IlLEMONati) want some lemon-yellow cloaks and hoods to worship in.
q. PAJAMAS!!!
r. Fingerless gloves
s. A tab to switch to social clothes instantly
t. Gothic clothes (wheee, black is fun!)
u. Bare feet (list the item as an ankle bracelet or somethin)
9. Guild Housing/Guilds
a. Guild leaders will have to pay rent depending upon how nice they are. The nicer the guild house, the more rooms and NPCs.
b. In the main hall, there are many terminals, including:
-Basic shop terminal
-Cell scanner (Takes too long to get to a town to save, but your guildhouse is closer? Save there!)
-Bank terminal (NOT guild bank)
-A specialized guild shop terminal, with a tattoo of the guild's name, guild uniforms, ect. (The players would have to create these)
-A donation box. (You can take anything out and put anything in. You can place credits in but if you want to take some out, you have to ask the leader to go get them out for you.)
c. In REALLY, REALLY expensive guildhouses, you could have an instant whompa to Tir or Omni-Trade (depending on alignment)
d. In REALLY expensive guildhouses, high-ranking officers could have an office.
e. Guild badge creation
10. Miscellanious
a. We need a Yutto morph...badly And don't forget the singing...
b. Soup. (Don't ask me, Seppubot made me add this... No version change)
c. Printable character sheets
d. Beeping. ("Hey our teammate isn't moving..." *BEEEP* "Ahh, I'm up, I'm up..")
11. New Items
a. Glowsticks
b. Lower chest tattoos for females
c. Books that we can hold
d. Musical instruments
e. Lampshade hats
f. Flowers
g. Whips
h. Make boomboxes play music
i. Piercing implants. You take a special Piercing Head Implant and add eyelid piercings, nose piercings, ect.
j. Umbrellas
k. More wizard-like objects (We're tired of pillows and leet dolls)
l. Tents
m. Campfires
n. Cigars/cigarettes
o. Make jewelry visible
p. Lawn chairs (makes camping Alvin more comfortable!)
q. Hair dyes
r. Special illegal stims that can only be bought in alleys in places such as Newland. These could only be bought from NPCs, and for incredible prices. As well, the NPCs you could buy these from would spawn only every once in a while. (They'd have to be hard to get)
s. Binoculars. Sometimes you want to zoom in on stuff.
12. PvP
a. Dueling. We should be able to attack anyone we want, regardless of suppression, if they accept. Team duels should be available as well.
b. Make it easier to watch arena duels.
c. Some tower stuff for you...we should be able to open up shop terminals, grid terminals, and maybe bank terminals.
d. Engineer-constructed fences around our territories. Lasers should be color-coded to indicate Clan, Omni, or Neutral.
e. Traps for fixers or engis. Or both.
f. More arenas, like the Cave-In arena in 4ho, with stadium seating and stuff. I'd love the 4ho arena if it weren't so tiny.
13. Towers (felt it needed it's own category)
a. Towers actually mining notum. Notum chips, fragments, or some new item that could be refined into notum could spawn around the tower base periodically.
14. Tradeskills
a. New weapons that can only be built from scratch, from a lot of items- some buyable in shops, others missionable for, others that are mission-loot-only perhaps?
Profession Stuff:
(Really limited at the moment)
1. All
a. Profession specific missions.
2. Engineer
a. /pet warp
