Just a thought,
Would it be possible to get an indication from the Immortal Admins as to what features of the Mud they will be looking at next.
I find that usually the Staff have some sort of program of what needs to be fixed in order.
If we the players could have some idea as to what that program is, perhaps we could better co-ordinate our feedback and ideas.
e.g. If we know Warmasters are being worked on, we have a (hopefully) constructive thread on Warmasters.... etc.
Something i've seen elsewhere is a poll with no option to reply - where Immortals can post things that they are/may be working on and gauge player opinion.

the problem i see with that, is you will have the ones who like to exploit problems....
ahhh.... HUH?
ahhh.... HUH?
I am glad I am not the only one that gets that from Jester's posts.
allow me to clarify.
If you make problems known to the public before they are fixed, there are people out there who will be prone to exploit said problems.
Remember when throw did like 10x damage, everyone was throwing everything they could get their hands on, until the Imm's forbid it.
Thing is with any bug there will be people who exploit it and people who wont. Those who exploit bugs in such a way to further their own self in PK will find that they fall short in just about everything else as well. That's not to say that if someone thinks they found a bug and then does it a few times just to make sure is any less of what he really is, it's those people who repeatedly use said bugs to help their character in such a way that others either can't or wont. I have myself reported a few bugs in the past, and whether they were fixed/are being fixed or not is beyond me.
However, the thing is is that this post is talking about things in which Imms are thinking of building/coding could be posted somewhere on the forum so as to allow the players to discuss what they believe would be cool or not. Such as posts about how WC, Archangel and I started throwing out ideas for the whole Royals/Justice thing along with various other people putting in their own thoughts on what they thought would be neat to see, and after a good long while out came Tribunals, though I didn't get to see any of them in action until recently and for the most part it was those very ideas from the players that came together to make up the Cabal, though with various twists as well. It would also mean that if Imms were thinking of making another class they'd post here about what they would like to see happen and such, it would ultimately be up to the Imms whether or not to put it in or not. Much like Raargants post on what you would like to see implemented into the game, the Imms would basically post what it is they're working on, area/code, and we would add input as to what would be good/bad about such. There would be no possible way to know whether or not that there are bugs or not based off of what we say, as it hadn't been coded into the game yet. With the recent posts on WMs and their skills and the bringing up of Savants skills, quite possibly that could be the next thing they're looking at, so adding constructive feedback on what you think would be nice to see/not see, you would not be posting bugs or seeing how they work until they've been worked into the game anyways.
Now with that said, your post on people exploiting bugs was probably just about pointless at least in this thread, now if we were talking about how when you say things to various MOBs it might do something that shouldn't happen that is beneficial for you and not to the person you're PKing and you continue doing so, that statement could possibly be used.
Well said Tant
---radio edit---
I think you are missing the point entirely. This thread has nothing to do with bugs in the form of discussion, revelation, or posting in any manner.
I like it. A bulletin on what the IMMs are going to add next, sort of like a spoiler to get us excited. A hint here or there on what could be coming in the next few months.
At least, that is what I get from this thread.
