My Ideas:
1) Crafting at Home: This makes me impatient... I usually take my character back to her house in the Shire Homesteads before I log out. I come back on to craft, oh wait... dang it, I have to ALL THE WAY to Michel Delving to. I thought it would be cool if you could buy things like ovens and workbenches as a housing item.
2) Stealing from the townspeople: No, your right, Yidia isn't a burglar, she is a minstrel. However, I do have a burglar in a different world. I loved my burgle skill, I used it all the time. Then I thought to myself, How cool would it be if I could burgle townspeople? I tried, and obviously, it did nothing. I continued thinking about it. Then I added to the idea. You know the NPCs guards? Like the Bounders and Watchers? Maybe if they were in a certain range of you burgling the townsperson, they would turn into enemies, if you beat them, well, you beat them, if they defeat you, you would be sent to a 'jail' I thought this could be like an instance where you would have to escape the jail.
3) Shops in the homesteads: How amazing would it be if you could set up shops? Like there would be lots in the homesteads that were shops you could run by buying an NPC from a housing broker and put it in the shop you've bought. It would be similar to buying a home in a homestead, you would need to pay upkeep still. Oh! the way you would sell things would be, similar to the selling tool for NPCs, you would 'give' them to the NPC by selling it, but you wouldn't get money from it until another player buys it from your shop. The money, like in the Auction House, would be sent to you through the mail. And, the shop would not be considered a house, you could have a house and a shop. Also, you could decorate the shops with regular housing items.
4) Dancing with your own music: Dancing while you are playing music, pretty straight forward. You use the /dance emotes while your playing and your legs will move according to what dance it is.
5) Fence posts and horse stalls: I thought it would be amazing if you could buy a horse stall of fence post to tie your horse to for your house. The fence post would be a small yard item, the stall would be a large yard item. So, If you right clicked on the fence post or stall while mounted, your could choose 'dismount' to, obviously dismount, but it would display the horse you were mounted on either in the stall, of tied to the post.If you right clicked on the stall while dismounted and there was a horse tied or in the stall, the horse would disappear from the item and you would mount.
6) Tables: More housing stuff, yay! There should be a table you can buy called an Empty Table. The table would have decoration slots for itself, Some for cooked food, some for fortifying and so on. You could put food and drink on this table that have either been bought, or crafted. On to my favorite part, eating it. You would right click on the food to eat it, It would disappear of the table, OR if you put more than one of the food item in that slot, it would just decrease the number of that item in the slot.
7) Feed your horses: An emote you could use while mounted to feed your horse an apple. The horse's head would turn slightly and you would lean forward and feed it to the horse. This also could be an item like a mount speed boost just with an animation.
8) Door signs: Very simple, a housing slot on the door of your house that would say something like "home, sweet, home" or "No admittance except on party business" or they could be custom and you could type what it says on it.
9)Journals in-game: A book that could be bought or crafted that you could type in, much like the Biography
10) Role play with NPCs: On some of my other characters, I don't have anyone to Role play with most of the time. I look at the NPCs and try Role playing with them (sad, yes.). Not the same when the other end doesn't respond. I thought that if your right click certain NPCs you could interact with them, they would have a script and there would be different things you could say to them
"Hello, what is your name?"
CHOOSE:
[x] "Oh, my name is [name]. And you?"
[ ] "That isn't your concern..." -that would end the conversation
"Nice name! My name is [NPC's name],----------"
Blah blah blah, yeah. There would be options to be mean, or be nice, or end the conversation. To make this better the information could be saved and the NPC would have a certain opinion of you or you could get quests after awhile.
11) JOBS: I thought it would be cool if you could get hired by some shops like Armor shops and Outfitters. It could be like a mini game to make things for the shop, or it could just be crafting and it would pay more for you than just selling the crafting items. Either way I hope it would sell more than crafting items!
12) Setting up shop for a little while: Unlike my other idea, where it would be a permanent shop you have to pay upkeep for. This would be different, You could hit this option where a table would pop up in front of you and you would put items on it that sold for certain amounts of money. The way you would put items on the table would be just like the Empty Table housing item. OR you would turn into a vendor where other players could right click on you and buy items that you 'give' to yourself to sell.
13) Wagon-thingy: Like a mount, except it'd be a wagon, like the one you see near the entrance of Bree, horse-drawn.
So, yeah. You like my ideas or you don't. I thought they are pretty great ideas! ...Probably because they are mine but... yeah.
I will add more ideas when I come up with more.
