more for non RVPers

[Lia Nailo]

i'm sure i'll be hated for this post because we all know that theres nothing in the world more important than PVP, but lets just assume for a moment that there are players that arent interested in PVP, or even those that are but would like to do other things as well. i'm a Roleplayer and this game is by far one of the best around now for it, however its also severely lacking in that department. i'm not asking for any effort to be taken away from gameplay, but there are simple additions that could have a major impact for RPers, and PVEers without effecting PVP and RVR, for example:

1. world interaction, give us the ability to sit in a chair, or interact with objects around us, some of us are going to stand in the tavern or dance hall and talk, whether in character or not, what can it hurt to let us sit in a chair, get a drink from a bottle on the table, stoke the fire, use the dance floor, as opposed to limited duration emotes.

2. more clothing and customization items. this is another area that we are lacking, and one that will benefit every player. adding clothing items is fairly simple in the long run, and could be done simply by adding a few to Treasure aisle and make the Tailors that are still in the game, but serve no real purpose, a clothing vendor, where we can buy new items for Doubloons, maybe have a few items become available every 5 or 10 levels so there is just one more thing to work towards. also maybe scars and tattoos especially those that a female toon can actually have visable would be nice, there is only one tattoo that isn't completely covered by a shirt, and it can only be seen with a bare midrif shirt, how about some arm tattoos, and short sleeves. also new designs for the hook and pegleg would be good, new shapes and colors, the ability to switch sides, and wear a glove on the non hook hand like you can with the peg leg, just to give us a few more options.

3. physical access to our ships, we are on the deck of various ships throughout the game, through boarding combat and missions, why can't we have instanced versions of the ship were sailing, and the ability to invite others aboard. they would only work if your ship was stopped, so there would no way to transport your friends or anything like that, it would really be no different than any other building in the game, accept that it would be a ship, of whatever size your currently selected ship is, and only accesible by your group or society. the ability to customize it even minimally would be nice, being able to change colors as you can the exterior, or the design of wall hangings, but only if its not too much of a challenge.

4. crew customization, this could be done with a similar interface as the current editer, but allow us to choose the boarding party members, at least to the point that they can wear the same color as the captain, and look like a real crew.

5. visable ship names, why can't others see the names of our ships, they can see our name, title, society. this would add a bit more realism to the game. yes it would be abused and we would have a lot of ships with inappropriate names, but if you use the same filters as character creation they will follow the same rules, and we won't have an ocean full of Black Pearls, or HMS Victorys.

6. custom titles, this seems like something fairly easy to implement, and could be a mission reward or a level 50 unlock, failing this, give us the ability to use our society role as a title.

these are just some ideas they have probobly all been mentioned before, but love them or hate them, i threw them out there anyway. I know these things arent important to the majority, but to the minority, this is still an mmoRPG, and it would be nice to have a bit more RPG in the game.

For a non RvR/PvP change, I'd love it if there were a Flag & Sail vendor somewhere other than in a far-flung starter port. One in the capital maybe?
