We are currently looking at making some changes to the donation system and including some new perks for players to unlock.
We already have some in mind but would also like to get opinions from the players on what extras they would like to see so please post below with any ideas you have bearing in mind the following guidelines:

1. They will not affect the mechanics of the game.
2. They will not encourage or promote a pay to play/win system.

Also this section is not to be used to flame others ideas just for posting your own ideas or supporting an already posted idea

Thank you and we hope to see some wonderful ideas.

A few ideas.

1. Donation option to see if the items you planted are ready for farming, similar to being able to check the items you have stocked in your houses.

2. HP values added to cooked/grown items.

I don't see any of them adding any major advantages, but it would make life a little easier for the people willing to pay for those options.

Ability to check farms from stats WOULD be very nice, yeah.
Much like house contents, or events list.

Ability to open a museum (rather than using shops as museums and cluttering up the shop's list with shops that aren't actually selling things.) It wouldn't change the dynamics and would benefit other users, too. (Or perhaps even adding this to construction - New wood sink, too)

Friend's list. Similar to Clan member's list. Lists location and player & whether online/offline. Ability to "opt out" if you don't want people to know your on/offline status. Have to confirm in order to be added to someone's list.


Maybe how much HP is in a house (upon clicking the house's link in stats, or even at the location)

Edited on 09-05-2016 19:49

Always a big no to friends list of any kind.
Donate to buy certain outfits that don't add any stats or speed, but can represent a skill or a style.
Clan crests.
One click outfit changes.
Ability to get the invasion winners of a town ranks sent to you by the citizens once the invasion is over.
Added info to event list; more detailed skill info, how many creatures.
Titles in front of our names.

+/- 40 minute botcheck

I think the highest atm is about 20.

Friends list - as long as you control who sees you online.
Specific outfits
Clan crests.
One click outfit changes.
Longer botcheck option
Seeing farm progress - on the fence with this one.

Edited on 09-05-2016 16:16

No to longer botchecks as that could already be qualified to pay to win.

Yes to Citizen sending msg about Invasion rank after clear.
To see crowding of specific Locations even if not there.
Search Option for a item for all your houses in the stats Option.
More Layouts/designs of the syrnia Screen.
Option to see offline Players at a Location (as we had before) but not able to thiev them.
Option to see whole Chat history of the day (whole day). As from now when you check yesterdays history, you only see the Maximum number of lines your Chat is Holding.
Able to hold more Messages as up to 300 as 150 is not much at all right now.
Mor Journal Pages.
detailed info on Invasion list.
Being able to put a "aim" for your skills like (You have 34202 Silver. You Need 26.222 to achive your Aim.)
Option to remove closed Shops from shop list.
To Change Chat Color as scripts are not allowed as they where back in the time.

Ability to mass message in clan only.

- Eully sell value added to items in your storage.

- Overview of what is in all of your houses. Simular to the options you have while managing your clan stockhouse.

- More extra stats to show might be nice too. But that might as well be added to the extra stat donation perk already.

Remove the current event list perk!

I state this as I feel, the Event list ruins a lot of the aspects of invasions especially when it comes to pirates. I think there needs to be some mystery involved again, what is wrong with searching islands for invasions? it hurt no one when it used to be the case as the community came together to share information.

with the current lore direction from mods already in place I feel this is a time we no longer need the event list and we can move towards mystery again and work as a community to find things and not be shovelled things into our laps.

I think the community has gotten very lazy when it comes to aspects like invasions or even some skills, we no longer work towards the reward we are simply told things and we do it? to me that aint really all that fun.

as a form of replacement for the list;

more special stats
suppose maybe a 25 minute bot (30 at most)
extra information from partaking in Bm or invasions.

as in information is sent to you via a message regarding BM logs or your results in invasions.

I am not sure I would say a means of checking your farms state as I said witht he event list I feel the community is getting lazy and this sounds like just another means of making something easier.

Donators option shorter botchecks(10min)?

Given we already have the donation option for longer or adjusted botchecks in general, I don't see how it is pay to win.

And no to the farm checker, that's definitely a paid advantage.

An additional trophy slot on the right shoulder above the shield spot.

Masque when you claim that seeing farm slots is p2w, longer botcheck is also p2w.

Make the rest of the items in game, sell able to Eully market.

I myself would like to be able to see if you farms are ready, like being able to check whats in a house.

Echoing some of the other peoples ideas:

1. A longer botcheck. Say 30 minutes?

2. View farms.

Please don't remove any of the current perks, they are rather nice .

Donater option to remove login bot check, this is the only botcheck I find really annoying.

I would say no to a longer botcheck.

1. A button to force a botcheck, so you don't have to re~login just to get a bot when you are going away.

2. Ability to see how much fame a person has, just for fun.

3. Extra stats like number of wood cut, Number of different Seeds planted, number of ores mined etc etc.

4. Botcheck Alarm, a normal alarm serves the same function, This would just be making it easier.

5. A way to see when you will level, 'Another 10,000 chops at this location to gain a woodcutting level.'

5. Ingame goals you can set and that others could see if you want.

6. Extra Layouts.

An option to turn Syrnia 3d

1. To be able to read BM logs.

No to longer botchecks.

Just a question with this, does this mean that the donation levels will be going up again in terms of amount you can donate or will these perks be added within the current structure

I would not mind an extra stat to show what IS planted in your farms when you check house slots via extra stats BUT no to actually having a timer showing when they are ready.

Re: farming
I wouldn't think a timer, but a "Growing"/"Ready"/"Rotten"/"Empty" & which type of seed/plants.
Maybe even an "X/Y slots empty".

Edited on 11-05-2016 09:41

I agree with Redcap, that was my intention from the start

TLDR...

Us veterans are no doubt the main contributors, it would be insane not to add something for us. I have almost been around 11 years and would like to help out, but I want to know it's doing something, like I am not the only one to donate to get +50msgs or some crap.

How about an ingame time clock, I'd use it to check spawn times instead of typing something in chat(when chats dead) to find out if its time for another run.

Detailed event list. What kind of rock to mine, what fish are there to be caught, how many creatures were first invading.

really dislike the increased bot check timer.

I personally aint a fan of the list in general, if you are going to expand on it, you may as well just get red chat to tell you there is an iron ore invasion over here.

I voice my opinion to remove the list outright and bring some fun and exploration back into the game.

As far as I know Borneo said he won´t redo anything that was already add to the game. And there are a lot of People who mostly donate only for the Event list. So removing it would maybe lead to things where People would maybe want their Money back?




More ideas:

-Able to Change your game font
-Replace the order of your skills on the right side. Like Change the order to put the skills you like on top and the ones you don´t on the bottom.
-Be able to see Positive and Negative fame scores as right now the only way is to check fan sites, or?

Edited on 13-05-2016 13:08

I agree Fabius in some sense you are right, I understand a lot of donators only go for the event list so maybe there are alternatives to such things like maybe the sharing of info in public chats? maybe modify the list to show the islands the events are on instead of the exact locations?

there are some of us who still enjoy the exploration and the community participation but being told where things are sometimes aint what we want or need.

maybe an option for mods to send invasions that do not appear on the list? so we get a special set of events that are a mystery to everyone but the lists are still good for majority of the time?

Edited on 13-05-2016 14:46

Ability to not have underlined names would be awesome

If not ill blow up everyone aboard all airplanes

i am 1 billion % against the ideas of taking away or changing the event list. You don't want it then don't ask for it or if you know your clan posts it in the forums or the news don't read it.

You don't need to take away one of the main things people donate for. It should stay as is and not get invasions that fail to show up on the list because then what is the point of having the list if things don't show up on it.

Things I could see added to the list would be:
a minor botcheck timer increase of up to a maximum of 30 min. No higher then that.

A list to show what stage your crops are at in your house.

A 2nd trophy slot to even things out.

Titles to go before your player name ( or something along those lines)- these would need to be approved via the mods prior to use.

A list of where all your skills rank on the high-scores view-able in the stats menu.

A showcase of sorts the player can get for items to not use shops( as mentioned before)

A special trophy only non-tradable item obtained for various donation amounts/milestones. Something minor with no stats like well a trophy made of the various metals.

Kinda ties into the last one but a milestones or achievement system that can award the player points so even truly free players can earn them in some manner.

Maybe the donation perks could be more focused on aesthetics as well? Per example more layout color options (inventory background, action center screen, etc)

I find the font idea amusing, and worth it to me anyways -

I don't think much that is already in the game needs to be changed. Though I may be a fairly new player, the game has been played for over a decade just how it is. Adding new content that older and newer players can both enjoy is the best option for everyone's satisfaction. I've only listed a couple ideas, keep in mind. This shouldn't be turning into a debate rather than where we all share ideas that Borneo and ourselves can reflect on to see what the MAJORITY of players will enjoy, not just one or two people.

Keep in mind most of our ideas likely won't be implemented for months, if then. But we are all a family, no need to be hostile!

ok then fine, I would like the option to turn perks off

how is that? I am one of the highest donators in the game with You have a total of 17121.00 premium points.

I have every option and then some but I am not a fan of a lot of them.

I would like the ability to turn off certain perks such as the event list, underlined name and any other future perk that can be turned off IE chat colours or what ever else.

on another note I would agree make the donation perks aesthetic, there is no need to further add to how easy this game is, I honestly do not think such perks as extra bot checks, farm list, more detailed event list are needed.

we have done 11 years already without such means, I think we should focus on aesthetics instead of perks lazy people want to make their play time easier xD.

After having fought and participated in many events I always found it annoying to no be able to see where I ended in the rankings of that event.
An option where I can see that ranking would be nice. Either be it by msg or by some history log one can look into.

@jefferyj if you go to the spot the invasion was at there is a list of the top 100 players you can see until the next one happens. So there is that. The contest ones however can have you potentially listed thousands of times if you entered it enough so that one might be a stretch. However, a thing showing where you ranked added to the mail from defending a place would be nice.

As for saying you are one of the highest donators and using that as a way to try and force changes is just sad. Personally my wife has more points then you by double and no doubt others have even more. As for the disabling of name underlines , I have no idea how that would work just like how perhaps different fonts in chat would work as well. Perhaps the ability to disable your own underline would work but not everyone's.

Things that allow you to change the look of the game to a minor amount would be a nice addition ,such as different themes. I wouldn't go as far as allowing custom CSS in the game though for the sake of the server and potential lag issues.

Lastly, while not a perk the players can get , it would be nice to have a bar or progress meter of sorts that once X amount has been donated to the game the Devs add something. For example say the goal was $1000, once reached the devs will award all players( not just the donators) red gifts or ltbs or just any random item that would not drastically harm the economy( i am looking at you platina/syriet ore/bar winners). That way there is a donator goal of sorts to encourage players to donate. Could also be a raffle will be held upon reaching the goal or a contest as well or even invasions. Just a little thing to say we reached our goal lets celebrate.

monsters, Jeffreyj is identifying an issue where if an orb is set off at a location right after the previous event completes, it erases the ranking information of those who participated in the event. I agree that it would be a nice benefit to have the ranking sent in a message upon completion--the list is already made up for posting at that location, and messages are sent out to players who rank high enough to get rewards, so it probably shouldn't be too difficult to combine those things.

I have always said that I don't like the event list being a benefit that gives advantage to players who pay to obtain it. I wish the game had not been implemented that way, as it is a pay-to-win benefit. But because many players have paid specifically to obtain this benefit, I don't think it's fair to remove it.

Having said that, I like the idea of some events being sent that do not appear on event lists--but if such events are done, I think they should be announced in some way, perhaps with hints about where to find them, and players can collaborate on trying to track them down and share info with clans or world about where the event is.

I understand it would be unfair to remove the eve events list now after so many years of access to it, however I do support the removal of pirate invasions from the event list, if doing so was possible.

@Monster

I apologize I in no way stated I was using the amount I donated as a means for change?, I merely brought in how much I had donated to show that I had indeed got access to every perk and then some, so when I stated that I would like to have the function to turn off certain donation perks, I know what I am turning off....

after reasoning I agreed that people were correct in the removal of the event list, I understood the implications of what I had asked and instead went a different route to allow players to turn off certain donation perks.


on another note, I also agree that pirates should be removed from the list unless sent by moderation.

Edited on 17-05-2016 10:52

I would like to help everyone out with this discussion and give a few insights into some of the direction things will head in this.

1) While I have no obligation to honor moneys that have in the past been donated, as they do not go to me in any capacity, I can assure you if you had the perk before, you will keep it going forward. I know as a person I would feel slighted if I had in good faith given money to a business only to find out that they changed hands and that the new ownership was not going to honor that arrangement. Your current perks will stay in tact.

2) I appreciate all of the feedback on this list and will not comment - yet - on what will and will not be implemented going forward. I will, however, comment on the "pirate invasion" issue only to say that this will be addressed as part of a much larger adjustment that is coming. I am working with several people, both pirates and mainlanders, to address this issue in a way that at this time seems to satisfy both while adding a new spin to the game.

3) This process is taking some time as we are changing from a tiered system to an option system going forward. This will allow you to purchase the perks you wish rather than take stuff you don't. This will eliminate in many cases the need for an on/off switch for certain perks, other than ones you would carry over from the original system. If, after the new system is in place, there continues to be a need for on/off or even simply having a perk removed we will address that accordingly.

I would like to have players continue to add or discuss potential perks they would like to see in this forum. Many of the ideas we are looking at or working on implementing have come directly from this forum as we monitor it regularly. Please understand that this is a work-in-progress and when the new payment system is installed, donations will be able to be placed but all new perks will not be rolled out right at its inception. Some ideas, such as farming or modifications to the event list have possible affects on the way the game is played and others like opening a museum or a 2nd trophy slot will need some testing in development (this is not to say any of these ideas are being implemented). These topics are therefore being discussed and troubleshot to see if its viable or simply not worth the effort and/or trouble it would cause the community.

I hope that helps with some of the minutia.

I have no idea about coding so don't know if this is possible -

But how about a donation option where all the forum codes are set as clickable buttons along the bottom of the post for making it easier to input them to your post.

I've been on plenty of forums where clicking a button sets the code in the text for you

Another donation idea (if such a thing is possible)

A return of the night time pictures, I remember travelling and certainly some skill images changed to a so called "night-time" image at 6pm game time. What I propose is as a donation option you can personally set a time bracket you want these images to appear at (so it matches night in your rl location).
Again, I have no knowledge of coding so apologies if such a thing is not possible.

Another donation option off the top of my head.

In clan chat - the ability to edit your log in message, add a silly name or whatever.

I've also seen previously mention of ordering houses like the Stockhouse. I'd certainly support this as a donation option.

Edited on 18-05-2016 02:32

I think those options from sheepy sound quite doable and fun to have.

I personally would love those options and would definitely donate for them

I just feel like I am missing something here?

can someone confirm to me how a list telling you the state of your farm is not a means that breaks the following stated by sels?

1. They will not affect the mechanics of the game.
2. They will not encourage or promote a pay to play/win system.

farming is plant your seeds and remember when you did so or face the penalty of them rotting.

been this way since day 1, many ways this was avoided was people using a pen and paper, leaving notes on their computer table or even using google docs, or the journal.

I just believe personally myself the means of a list is in fact going away from the whole mechanic of the farming skill.

even if the list was something basic like

Planted
Ripening
Grown

all it takes is a few clicks to see the state of your farm. I am not a fan of this but if people can explain how this is not a means of pay to win then I am not against it being inserted but right now it very much looks like a pay 2 win mechanic.

this point is also shared by a variety of players and as I stated this was just me asking for clarification on how this list would work so it meets the requirements of the OP.

Ben

@Benguin regarding farm state perk. I don't think this is any more of a perk than seeing the inventory of your houses. Without the donation option, you have to travel to your house and look at the inventory. Currently, to see if your crop is done, you have to visit your house and look at your farm. A donation option to check the state of your farm would certainly avoid travel time, but it still requires checking. You can walk there and check or you can check your farm state stats. The only time my crops have rotted is when I have forgotten about them too long. A farm state checker would not have helped or given me an advantage since I forgot to check.

@this thread now...

In 2011, I sent this ticket which was never acknowledged nor did it receive a reply, but it is certainly relevant:

"Just an observation. For donating the first 50 Euros, a player unlocks 26 different incentives. For the second 50 Euros, a player unlocks only three more incentives.

The one appealing incentive for me is a longer botcheck, but it doesn't seem like the botcheck will be much longer if at all. Depending on the skill, I already have a botcheck that is between 17 and 31 minutes.

Could you please clarify how the botcheck would change were I to dontate another 50 Euros?"

Well, the important part is really the first paragraph. It seems many people are against a longer bot check and I really couldn't care less about that. The fact that 31 minute long bot checks are possible on long chops on Anasco or large fish, for example means that one can already choose longer bot checks were they to level a skill that had really long timers.

I really liked the idea about an extra line while working that said something like, "You have xnumber of chops left until your next level."

Maybe not a donation option, but I'd rather have a pop-up when you get something special like a locked chest since when you work afk, you often miss those things.

Most importantly, it is necessary to get a donation system in place that doesn't require ordering an obscure payment card from Denmark for twice the amount you want to donate and requiring a passenger pigeon to deliver it (please read as possible hyperbole). I've actually offered to send money on several occasions via PayPal but never received a reply to my tickets.

There was one other idea that I fully support: that of donating as a group to get some in-game perk for everyone. New items, new creatures, new islands, whatever. That way it doesn't give any one person an advantage, although it would be best to avoid elite items that only a few people could access. The new flowers are a perfect example of an addition to the game that everyone could access.

thats a very valid point, thank you Greensky. that was what I was curious about as it seemed to myself and others it seemed a pay to win so I just wanted some clarification from players how the list would work as well as how it would not be an advantage.

At a certain donation lvl that money goes to pay someone to finish wyks's work on new tlgrounds website getting all high score lists to work.

I have always been a fan of a mount or donation suit that does nothing.
in the past players were rewarded with wearable items for donating.

I think a location ONLY for players who have donated a certain amount would be cool. like a pub (the city menu gives no real benifits) just an extra location in an area where there's currently nothing there.

Not sure if I should post this here but:

-Disabling Whispers (as now you only are able to disable otehr Chat Chanels)

And a message when someone whispers like:

[W]19:44 System: The Player Fabius has disabled whispers.

Would love a notification in chat (w) that informs me "You have a message." whenever one is sent from someone.

Space to hold more "Send Messages"

A way of selecting what food you want to appear at the combat screen

There are 1730 players with higher total skills than you.
There are xxxx players with higher Mining Level than you.
There are xxxx players with higher Cooking Level than you.

etc...

To see the full Chat history of the whole day. Not just the few lines that you get. Also when looking at yesterdays Chat history, only few lines there.

Would like to see it from 00:00-23:59 - all Chat lines

To search for a item in the shops and see the prices

"To search for a item in the shops and see the prices"

Have to say I disagree with this one, though it could (and should) be thrown in with the trading skill, not enough love given to that skill in the higher levels.

To find out who or whom got your death drop

Silent bot check notification: tab or window's title changes to "Hey!" when there's a botcheck. No noise. Just a little bit of a notification.

Option to adjust botcheck time between 10 to 20 minutes (or max botcheck time). This might also be seen as a toggle option between 10/15/20 minute intervals to stop people accidentally AFKing and getting caught out in combat.

Viewable extended action history. Useful for farming, combat, smithing, working out seed ratios. There's currently no archiving for this system.

Toggle underscore.

Set a generic move value for houses. Set '1' to '100' by default.

Something a bit more hefty: goals functionality.

Based on the silent botcheck notification, a "You ded, mate." would be nice.

EDIT: Minor text fixes.

Sheep- A way of selecting what food you want to appear at the combat screen

I 2nd this.

A way of disabling your own underlined name would be great.

Also a way to decide whats what in your inventory.

Edited on 02-08-2016 23:18

I really enjoy the idea of forcing a bot check. There are times I know I'll have to step away for a bit, so to make sure my AFK time is the most productive seems excellent to me.

I also can't see how that offers special advantage to a player who does not donate.

So, to whomever suggested that, great idea! *seconded*

Can't you force a botcheck by logging out and logging back in?

There are different methods of forcing a botcheck, that do not always work. They are talking about a button you click, that does always work.

If we do get the silent/loud botcheck indicator I would like for our HP to also be displayed. Though I can understand why others would not like this.

Ability to see prices of items in your shops via stats page
Ability to alter prices of items in your shops without removing item.

I like the idea of getting a notification in chat if you receive a message.

The option to move the 'Lost Password" link on the login page would be something i would be willing to pay for. i dont know how many times i have accidently hit it when logging in

Dawg, I have hit that link when logging in on a tablet or phone. Maybe if they do a mobile site/app that will change.

Marriage should include private chat channel

Edited on 19-08-2016 23:15

Any particular hat? Top Hat for Grooms, Veiled Chat for Brides?

"I like the idea of getting a notification in chat if you receive a message." +1

I'll donate 1000 dollars to shut this game down.

why not just not play, instead of crying in the forums

Optional whisper alert - makes a sound and/or changes the title of the window to: "New whisper from xxx"

The same for botchecks would be nice, too

How about an option to receive whispers as a message as well?
Especially while being offline or very mia you won't notice those.
That way you'll still get the message and are able to send a whisper back yourself when you are around.

I'd like to be able to disable certain game messages. For players who expect to be offline for some time it would be good not to have their inbox flooded by pirate attack, thief attempt and shop messages. (Should be configurable per type). That way actual messages sent by players are still available upon return and you don't have to clean the more spammy messages.
Obviously you shouldn't be able to disable mod ticket notifications.

Had a thought
When the pay for bonuses that do not effectively change the game opens up


I would love to pay for a reminder service.

by this i do not mean a instant bot check or anything

when your bot check comes up ether the game plays a sound or opens a pop up saying bot check ready or something.


you would still have to enter the bot check.

but would make it easier to remember like if your watching a movie or playing a slow paced game like civ or something.

Again you would still have to do your own bot check as in type the numbers in so on it is purely a easier reminder.

The other one i thought about is a warning if you afk fighting maybe have a pop up window or sound that tells you when you drop below 1/4 life but have it so it isnt as obvious so that you still have to be there to pump your life back up.

Not sure about the second one but the first one with the bot check i really like the concept and should be easy enough to code in.

Fun stats!

Number of bot checks completed.
Distance walked? (Not sure if that would change speed's a gender)
Ores mined wood cut like the monsters killed section.

Purchasable global exp boost...

A player could purchase this with points and it will increase everyone's exp on the server for X amount (like 20%) for 10 minutes or something....

Numbers can be changed. Was just a thought to give everyone the boost (so one player cant donate $1000 to get way ahead of everyone) and something that is repurchase-able so if you want to keep donating you have something to use it on.

bump

Please never implement the exp boost or anything like it.

Just don't.

Outland player kill ranking?

I like that idea ^

Bump

In addition to ''OL kill list'' I think it would be nice to have more of those kind of stats for display.

Outland kills and deaths
Desert Arena victories
Monsters killed (Where I would prefer seperate lists of Dino's and dragons)

I agree with Sal. I appreciate Andrew's intentions, but I don't want to see Syrnia going down the route of purchase-able experience boosts.

Donator option to bring back the classic brick layout.

I don't think this was mentioned earlier in the thread but I apologize if it is a repeat. I don't think this would be an "easy" thing to code but I know nothing about stuff. Anyway, here is my suggestion:

-I would like to be able to shift/organize the position of items in my shops without having to take out all of the items. It would be nice to be able to keep all items of one time next to each other, like all bronze items or all axes and what not.

Can we perhaps get new options for lay out skins? The black and red layouts are old and id love an option for something else.

possible get a bigger signature length and avatar size.

New lay out options.

armour sets that you can switch with 1 click. fits with donation perks because it makes certain parts 9f the game less annoying but doesn't make you progress faster in any way.

i think 1 extra set would be a small donation and for larger donations 2/3 sets.

-event list reorder the option to sort by creature

-event list shows number of creatures left to kill

-contest show what items is needing submitted
skill events show what it is ie tuna cooking, plat smelting etc.

-ability to see what you have items priced at in your shop in stat screen.

-1 clickable gear sets as bummie said too

-house search for an item similar to how to can search all your clan stockhouses

-a way to sort shop msgs from player msgs. i like going to them being able to go back to them but it can be a bit hard as they get buried with player msgs etc.

-a way to see how many of each creature you have killed would be awesome

-chat boxes to be able to have whispers convo with multiple people rather than being all mixed up in chat.

-ability to add text to your player page when someone clicks on your name at a location you are at with them.

was thinking it to go to the right of your stats and under travel time. players could write things they are buying or selling, song lyrics, something about themselves. anything really. kinda like shop info but a player info thing people see.



note i havent read through all these pages so sorry if someone has said already. also not sure some of these things are even worth the time or effort just brainstorming.

will edit as i think of things.

Perhaps a feature to show if you are currently a FOM or an EOM.

I would like the ability to change my chat colours. It was the one feature of greasemonkey that I liked.

Terma

You know you would probably make a fair amount repeatedly by just selling a vanity item option. People pay real commodities for something with nothing more than a roleplay value. It'll finally let people wear a wedding outfit, some weird custom attire or something while letting players sell off their art skills.

Give its 0/0 stats so you can't pay to make something good, takes up any slot of choice. Player is responsible for sourcing the image, uploading it to ensure it meets sufficient size and quality and has to host it somewhere. Moderation has to approve the image, which isn't difficult, charge if it gets approved, staff at any time have rights to revoke if the item URL is *ahem* adjusted.

I mean you already have the trophy slot so the concept of something there just for aesthetics isn't that great a leap.

the ability to show HP value of foods. you have no clue how many HPs i wasted because i forgot spinach heals 9 for example.
inventory arrangement. right now it's auto sorted, but i would like to see the new drops at the top so i know just what i got when i come back from AFK, this would be similar to varamexia's "drop" window, and i am suggesting something of the sort

I ran the idea by Borneo, but I will put here as well... Putting the amount of HP is in your house shown in the stats window, rather than scrolling through trying to add up how much HP you have or going to the house and removing it to see how much in your inventory.

The ability to switch between speed suit/combat suit in one click would be amazing, especially for mobile players.

Key Fashions

Based on Work's idea, I think it'd be nice to be able to assign different hotkeys to various suits we can construct ourselves (e.g. Warlock Suit, Speed Suit, BM Suit, Outlands Suit, Combat Suit, Comic Suit...).

Hence we'd be able to choose from a variety of suits to change into at the click of a button.



Feudal Tags

We could also implement a medieval rank tag to go before our names. Once unlocked, the tag we can choose to display could be determined by a formula such as:

(Years played * (premium points bought / 200)) + TL

10,000 = King/ Queen
8,200 = Prince/ Princess
6,500 = Duke/ Duchess
5,000 = Earl/ Countess
3,750 = Baron/ Baroness
2,750 = Lord/ Lady
2,000 = Mayor/ Mayoress
1,500 = Sir/ Madam
< 1,500 = Veteran

These ranks could update every week/ month and there could be options to turn these tags off and on.

Fix the donations that players lost when name changed?

I am not sure if this has been mentioned but an organized event list would be great, showing how many actions are left and sorted by Island would be more convenient. Also perhaps the level of the creature/ action included. As well as what the contest might be.

I would also love to see the ability to save sets of armour, and what I mean by that is a quick access where I can preset suits of armour, such as a speed suit or a +power suit. It can be tedious having to click on each armour piece after traveling.

As suggested by Scary "One click outfit changes."

I think this would be very handy.

Have a 2nd "Suit" equipped below your character, and at a click of a button have them switch.

I would hate an event list telling me everything and whats left....

the whole point of big events like Christmas and Halloween is the community, get into chat start talking and you quickly find the answers to most things.

I agree with Dark Neroxus. I feel that way about the event list as it is, already, but once you let the cat out of the bag...

Having said that, I am happy to share my event list with anyone who asks for the information, so if you can't afford to donate for it, feel free to ask me for the current list any time.

[2]14:24 Nuthouse[-DRS-]: id like to see the hidden logins shown as a donation perk

Nuthouse- If you mean having the ability to hide log in's as a donation only perk, it already is ;)

how i read it is him asking to be able to pay to see all log ins even if they have donated for theirs to be hidden.


kinda silly, you pay to have yours hidden and someone can turn around and pay to see it anyway? makes no sense

I agree with the entended botchecks would be nice.

Also maybe points can be exchanged into a currency that can be enchanged back into points, it will boost the market a little.

Bump

Can we have a "show all user logins" as a perk

List users online.

Customised login message

How about donating for a small amount of a certain mobs?

Or a limited skill invasion?

Edited on 10-11-2017 12:14

I'm not sure if this a valid donation perk or maybe just an update? I would like a quick connect suit. Maybe 4 max? This would be great for traveling in between places with autos. And really nice when chasing the holiday mob. How this would work is it would shop up as "suit 1", "suit 2" etc in the inventory. When you click on it an image of your avatar slots pop up with the ability to add items to that "suit" or take them away.

My only issue is botcheck. I would love option to choose botcheck to be time based or "action" based. Example below:
1. Time based bootcheck. Once or twice per hour.
2. Action based botcheck. Taking one action like moving to next area, mining another ore piece or taking fight with another monster counts as one action tick.
When sufficient number of those ticks are stacked botcheck appears.


In the past I have tried to run Syrnia on cell phone but it worked only when browser app was active. May I suggest VERY simple app for cellphone (no graphics, text based only except botchecks) working in android background?

Being able to see everyone who is logged in would be very easy for shop thieves to exploit...

So i'll +1 that

Talking about donating, I would really love to see other ways of being able to buy premium points, not just through paypal. For eg, through EFT or bank cards

Edited on 11-11-2017 09:30

These are just a few of the things I personally would donate for.

1, Stats box on combat/work screen displaying my current XP per hour with hours to level.
2, Ability to alter shop prices without removing items.
3, Ability to do #2 and open/close shops from my settings page without going to my shop.
4, Auto walk feature so I can walk from point A to point Z without clicking all in between.
5, More inventory stats, Total seed XP, Total ungrown HP ect.
6, Ability to make custom game themes/alter game layout.
7, At multiple fight locations such as Elven, Ogre, Mordor have the ability to choose a single mob to fight.
8, Save equipment setup to enable 1 click wearing of different equipment sets.
9, Amount box for enchanting items to save click to and fro when training Magic.
10, Trade in points for custom skill/mob invasions but make them so they do not interfere with a locations normal actions to avoid abuse.

Would donate for the 1 click suit change evert.

And it's not game breaking either.

The ability to add folders to your message box to file away your received messages.

I like to keep the messages from the flower shops and who killed me, and any others from the game. There are a few personal messages I like to keep too. But as I get more and more I lose the old ones

Having a "force botcheck" button.

We can all force botchecks by logging out, but this extra convenience would be handy and doesn't give an advantage.

Since I first donated, there is one option that I have found myself using rather frequently: the highscore history. Personally, I think it's rather neat to see how players have grown over the years. It's definitely not without its flaws, though. My main complaint is that there is no way to look up a particular player's stat history without choosing a particular date and hoping that they were ranked in the top 1000 in that skill. Even when you click on their name, it just takes you back to their current highscore page, if their account still exists and has the same name (which is definitely not always the case).

I think this could be improved upon by adding a player search to the option. In addition to being able to view the highscores on a given day, a player could simply type in a name, and they would be brought to a list which would contain the earliest dates that the player became ranked in each skill. I don't think this would be particularly difficult to implement, as the forum search, another donation option, already uses a similar method. Another thing that would help tremendously would be the ability to click on any name, then be taken to that player's highscore page. Said page would list their stats on that given day, provided that they were ranked in the top 1000.

In short, I think the highscore history, as an option, needs more love. It's pretty much the only way that ranked players can check their and others' progress day-by-day, which is something that not even TLGrounds can be used for. From what I've seen, it seems like not many players have even heard of this option, which I think is a shame. Perhaps if it were easier to use, more players would be able to track their progress in a convenient way.

The ability to have whispers chat from different people in different colour.

How about a 'private' chat room that you could add certain people into to have a group conversation... like say among a clans leaders or a group of people fighting a certain location or creature so the screen dont roll by so fast or get confused with others chatting in the open chat.

The option for more background colours or different UI models.

examples could be

.rainbow themed
.blue
.green
old 2005 UI for those who remember and those who might just want to see what it is like.

a slighty more crisper UI simply revamping the old UI model with some darker colours and shading.

I aint talking hundreds of new or extra images, I assume the old 2005 UI is still in the database, I am talking simple colours different from the black and red we have had for eons.

Force Botcheck-button!

previously mentioned but i Must-Have according to me!

More options to remove links i dont use from my screen:

Log out button
View world map link
Level pop up box
Junk youve found while walking pop up box
Fight all link
Quests link

And to customize which links I have and in what order next to chat bar. Options is a link thats on our screen twice, and I rarely even use one more than once a year.

Second Dark Neroxus.

Would LOVE to have the 05 UI back. It's far better than the one we have now... or at least some options.

search items in shops from any location and have a price for items also to save travel time and allow players to find better bargins. or instead of showing price have an option to see if the shop is open or closed.

Shop search price range.

Example:
Search for item (Ogre Shield)
Search for price range (enter value range)

Shop search price range.

Example:
Search for item (Ogre Shield)
Search for price range (enter value range)

Let's have a more extensive chat history option.

Additionally it would be nice if there was an option to transfer our points pass the two weeks limit they are currently on.

another step up of the donation option for event list.

Could do grouping of skill events, like fishing with fishing, mining with mining. Currently they are all just thrown in there if i remember correctly.

Could add with that order combat events by there CB lvl?


Or

Could arrange by island?

Would be nice imo to have it arranged better then it currently is...


Another cool thing would be if it showed the combat lvls of the creatures? i personally always forget the cb lvls and have to spend alot of time cross referencing it. i'd pay to not have to do that

+1 Rich... the event list order no matter how your order it is terrible.

+1 to jlock

fix the broken premium event order please

Being able to give a nickname to your clans SHs and your own houses so you can label each one for what you or the clan uses it for.

Fishing Tools.

Auto-equipping tools (net, rod, smithed tools, weapons and armors and so on) as long as you bring some spares.

Edwin,
I've seen some argue that auto-equip after breakage is pay-to-win, but I'm thinking that it would be more of a boost for newish players (ogre and silver/lower tools) and I fishermen/women... who are already at a disadvantage compared to the other resourcing skills, so yeah, let's add this to the list too.

Edited on 19-10-2022 03:55

Auto-equip as a donation perk is very much pay to win. I am heavily against incorporating it as a feature, but if it is to be added, I believe it should not be a paid donation perk and should be a standard feature for everyone.

QOL Bot Checks:
Add a toggle to create a drop-down menu on the game.php page for bot check frequency, rather than it being deep within the Syrnia option menus.

QOL Gearsets:
Add two gearsets that can be saved and equipped with a button press on the game.php page.

This would allow you to swap to speed sets before traveling to an auto-attack location, and quickly swap to combat gear during travel.

Pros:
Fewer inputs necessary = better hand health
Fewer inputs = less server strain
Ability to switch gear quickly on mobile

Cons:
Potentially pay to win over others without the perk;
- While it is possible on PC to switch 7 items within the min travel timer, it requires a higher level of effort and creates an advantage over players who only play on mobile.

Receive a message from the game upon death detailing when and where you died. What killed you, and what you lost.

Thought of this because my friend can never remember if he was carrying a scroll or not when he dies.

I like both the above ideas

I would love to have a global search of my houses similar to the clan stockhouse searches.

When you click into a particular house from your stats page you see these...
HP totals
Raw HP totals
Seed xp totals

Have a 24hr game log of every action you do. Include info like travel history and DD's.

I second the QOL Gearsets
