Basket for eggs is nice. Maybe we also can get basket for fruits?

I find it a waste to invest coding time into something for an item that spoils quite fast

Would these said fruit baskets be breaking the game in some way due to a simple coding malfunction that would allow ppl to open all their fruit baskets and eat fruit-based foods out of them during gluttony?

no, they wouldnt, because the baskets would be for fruit, not for fruit-based food.

At the npc who sells books, make books clearly identifiable, like, with an ISBN.

I see how trolling is strong in this game, but this just whimsical,
and has the sole effect that npc-book-selling is totally useless and noone, except maybe for an occasional unknowing newbie, ever uses it.
Therefore that feature (=npcselling books + "bestseller list") is useless and could just as well be removed.
Instead of removing it, make books identifiable.

This, and some more love for the books, might actually turn it into a valuable feature.

It's already a viable feature. People just aren't making actual books. I wish we had people like there was in ultima. There was entire books written and circulated in that game. It was amazing.

So then tell me, if there is an actual good book, and someone like ...you, would make a book of the exact same name and also make so much of them that it's numbers match the original,
how would it be possible to discern the actual book from the cheap trolling attempt?

Has this problem even happened or are you dreaming something up? Maybe you can get the local bot client to set a alarm for troll books.

I did not think that you would know a way to do this anyways, but thanks for confirming.
