Hello Folks!

I thought I would throw a few suggestions up that would help us out in the RP community. Right now, Tryia is an awesome world to RP in. It’s even better for a GW1 player as myself to see how the world has changed since I last step foot in this world. However, there are a few things that would help RP be a bit more fun and engaging.

Dueling:
A dueling feature would be really helpful in a hostile RP situation. As of now the only way to characters would be able to “duke it out” out of X reasons would be to do it by text. This is time consuming and doesn’t work well within the game itself. With dueling, it’ll allow the game to have a bit more depth for RPer’s that wish to have something more outside of emotional conflict with other characters.

Show/hide chest function:
A lot of Norn players from my guild would really like this function. During character creation, they would choose their favorite tattoo design and expect to be able to see them, but most armor sets(especially heavy) block the view of the tattoos. So, to have the ability to hide the chest piece, would allow them to show off their tattoos without having to store away armor pieces.

More Emotes:
The current handful of emotes suffices. It covers a lot of the basics every mmo has, however, as an RPer the more emotes at our disposal for our characters to animate themselves the better. This will also allow us to rely less on the /me command to do certain actions.

More Town Clothing:
This may already be in the works, but I would like to suggest it nevertheless. Town clothing allows characters to have access to a wardrobe that better defines the character and his/her personality. Also, not every warrior may want to RP in their armor all the time. A good example would be in the cities like Divinity’s Reach where this warrior may live. Instead of walking around in his/her armor while staying within the safe confines of the city, he/she may want to wear something more comfortable. RP events such as a banquet for X reason, may prompt for the players to want to wear something more social/formal rather than a large bulky armor set. I would prefer that there would be some basic sets (outside of the starter ones) of town clothing available from a vendor in-game, but wouldn’t mind if a few special sets went to the store.

Now, for one suggestion outside of RP

Trading:
I believe I’ve seen this come up a few times, but quite a few from my guild suggested for this to be added to the list. The Black Lion Trading Company does its job well, no doubt about that, but sometimes trading outside of it can have useful rewards. Yes, we could trade through the player mail; however, this isn’t very secure as one side could send the agreed trade items/coin while the other simply doesn’t comply back and steals the items/coin just sent to him or her. With that being said, a trading option between 2 players would be welcomed.

I would like to thank everyone in advance kittenads this and perhaps consider the suggested listed here. Also, any feedback on the items listed is most welcomed

Letting us actually sit in chairs would be good too.

Dueling – What is wrong with taking your fight to PvP and duking it out there?

@ Haltus Kain: Yeah, I totally agree!

@robinsiebler: It isn’t very RP friendly to be in a place…let’s say… Divinity’s Reach and then suddenly change scenery/location for the sake of a duel. I know for myself and for some other folks that they would want to be able to duel right in their location. Another plus in dueling in the open world/cities is that it will draw other RP players and that’s where the fun of spontaneous RP comes in

Well for starters you can’t really duel in the heart of the mists either, you could say “just join an empty server and duel there”, that’s fine and all – for some 3 minutes or less because people will ALWAYS enter sooner or later and people tend not to leave even if you ask them.
