- was thinking of how to make solace a bit more newbie friendly.  Maybe chosen hometown gives that towns map to new created character instead of all getting palanthas?  Or encourage all new persons to choose palanthas in the creation process?
- Perhaps an NPC questgiver in major cities or just palanthas empty shop? NW square heh.  Quests basic fetch to force exploration giving vague directions in quest description.  Wyrmlings, trolls, clerics altar etc?
- Improve shop armors and weapons(slightly) lower level requirement.  they stink anyway.  Make an upper tier of expensive gear? just basic ac, damroll, hitroll, mana and health but something to fill gaps in middle ranked char equip after wyrmling.  Seems people go from wyrmling to elite...or just stay in wyrmlings.  Need a middle range.
