Salem

1. Deities/Religion - There are many things related to religion in the game, however there are no options or anything for that. Maybe there would be corrupted priest who would take money and convert an player into one of religions. Each could have their own advantages and disadvantages? (Maybe worshipping would give/remove maddness,etc.) Player could become a priest of the religion(As we have church, we might have town priest) and daily sermons would give certain bonuses).

2. Different titles. Why wouldn't his Majesty or Church award citiziens of New world? Ones who have dealt great things? (Equippable titles to characters, for unlocking certain achievements,etc? Example, Notorious criminal brought to justice, etc.) Maybe there would be an emotion * Introduce Yourself * When you click on player, he would see (Paper?) with your name, your title, etc.

3. Rivers have current. Implement current for rivers? When player swims against it (bigger phelgm drain?/Slower?) and boat would be slower?

Thoughts?

Point. 2. is great ^_^
Also point 1. is fun
You can have your own religion (christian, ancient gods etc. ), raise your spirit lvl (oh, Faith & Windsdom proof), gaining inspi points, giving blessing (lower madness ex. )

1 - I was thinking the other day how it was kind of unfortunate that there was only one mysterious path of magic (witchcraft), it could be cool if there was another one... Maybe as you describe in the opposite direction from witchcraft. Maybe it could be a hardcore zealous fundamentalist kind of thing bent on carrying out God's wrath rather than defiling it?

2 - I found the reputation/alignment system in UO to be very enjoyable, not sure if that's what you're referring to but it had similar titles. However, I feel like anonymity is a big part of Salem and what people's mains do are very different from what their crime alts do, so the end result might be kind of odd.

3 - Getting this to work with how lakes/rivers/shores are laid out and how rivers sort of ignore elevation might be tricky... I suppose water could simply flow downhill regardless of the shape of the river? Then there would be really strange river currents though. Seems like it might be a lot more work than it's worth to get it to work right, unfortunately :\

About the 2nd.

I was thinking it as Character would introduce himself (by choice, if he doesn't wish to, he doesn't do that, also it would be the display name, as many people change it..)

Pretty interesting. It could be a way of bragging to others about your accomplishments which could come with a chance of attracting an enemy. An extra button when r-clicking a char that, similar to the kin button, has to be confirmed and is only available at that moment. It could list items like "claims owned" "Scalp score", "Highest Proficiency and number", "players KO'd", "players killed", "etc".

About the Scalp score, not sure.. Maybe there could be a skill (Which would be a crime aswell) to make an fake documents?
