I think that the developers should work on ways to bring players together. multiple large cities with interconnecting roads, multiple factions, trade. the way it is now every one seems afraid to allow new members and so many remain isolated. new groups coming together are as common as getting hit by lightning. I don't really have any good ideas. maybe don't allow same city members to kill each other just to knock-out. maybe allow training with same city members with no scent so more can get better at fighting. and if a person leaves a city they can not join another for 3 days or kill people in the city they just left for a day. maybe others have little ideas that could make more play together. a lot of different factions with alliances and trade and wars would be fun.
I also think guns should be enhanced,10 players lined up shooting with great effect would be awesome. but keep load times slow so after 1st volley hand to hand would be next. and limit number of guns that can be fired so someone wouldn't load inventory. this would equalize the big power of one long time player fighting a lot of noob players. GUNS
and no scent for killing thief or murderer on your own home or town
