Some more things to do that are outside the normal play type would be a breath of fresh air. UO is very sandbox but players could use some more tools to entertain themselves other than fight monsters or each other. Now UO foes not "need" it but I think it would give people more options? Look at the casino and poker, or growing plants alot of people use it but are not combat related so how about some ideas
Bagball: mentioned before even if a player made field was created I would watch a game maybe even participate.
Trivia bot: seen a few in world of warcraft. They pretty much ask a question and the first person that answers gets credit. A running score is kept. I don't think this can be player made alone due to having to read and respond to the in game journal maybe something can be thrown in easily I don't know? Maybe a gold sink or platnum coin or dono coin thing? Make a npc, clicking opens a gump where you can load x questions and answers?
Player ran events rewards: players run events all the time weather they post them in the forums or are just having fun in town. But it's hard to offer reward players. What if a player could make it rain gold like when a champ spawn was compleated. To keep if from being abused make it an item that cost more gold than it rains/ rewards. Say make an item when click you target the ground that drops 50k gold in an x time radius. But make the item cost 60k gold. Players that want to use it as a reward will use it for its purpose and not for profit.
Ok I started it off any other ideas non combat for the shard?
