The Like/Hate Thread

I would probably keep elements of it, but it wouldn't be so heavily based on DBZ. There are some good things to take out of it, though. Most of the planets. Probably reinstate the NPCs as trainers. I feel that the whole self-driven thing isn't working, but assigning special NPCs as places to get new techniques was working fine in the old system. It'd give writers somewhere to jump off of if they cannot do it on their own. I'd like to see more involvement with the NPCs than just have them standing there twiddling their thumbs waiting for someone to come along and use them. What's the point of having them if they have no purpose? Assigning special techniques that can only be learned through them gives them purpose, and a jumping off point.

If I did take over, I'd still love to keep everyone on staff if they wish to be, but welcome those who have ideas as a sort of "council" to help rebuild. I've kept some notes floating around both on my computer and in notebooks but none really that are ready for presentation. But I do love this place with a passion, and it kills me that it is dying for a variety of reasons ie. growing older, losing interest, moving on, etc. I feel that if we can just tweak stuff and have something to look forward to on a regular basis (like how WoW and many other games do with patches or new features) it could help give some sort of semblance of activity, and attract people back or bring in new people.
