I think they should focus first on having something which works. Then we can start brainstorming about how to expand it.
I agrea on this one. I think an lot of suggestions can be given by players that don't give an large work to add it to the client if it will be redone anyway. Now I'm talking about suggestion here's something:
Personalisation of your npc: I refer to the work of
Carel. He recently made an better version of the pwo character (Brendan & May). He made it in different colors. It would be nice to have this color option in pwo.
An second option for members only would be an option to choose other designs (I refer to other pokémon characters like for boys (Red, Blue, Silver, Ethan/Gold, Lucas/Diamond, Hilbert, Nate) & girls (yellow, leaf, Lyra, Kris/Crystal, Dawn/Pearl, Hilda, Rosa). Offcourse people can simply load the other design on it but that will simply change the other's to. It's simply to give the member the ability to look different from regular players. Maybe it would be nice that the member design remains even afther the membership ends. An marking the user was member before. If you change his design however he can't choose back the member design.

An second modication would be for the npc's like an unqiue design for every gym leader and gym leader npc's. 4 or more differents designs "2 male/2 female" for every npc sort (for example fishermen, police). I would even do it x2 to create an differents between Johto & Kanto for specific groups. It would be nice to have an skin option that allows you to change every npc in the game into an different design. Just an small face expression can give the game an more realistic feeling. Maybe something to look into: Basicly for example all fishermens load the sprite: spr_fishermen01; But now if you add an spr_fishermen02 to the game folder an fishermen will load the spr_fishermen02 design. Every fishermen has an number:
- *Fishermen 1: spr_fishermen01; (not in the folder > spr_fishermen00)
*Fishermen 2: spr_fishermen02; (not in the folder > spr_fishermen00)
*Fishermen 3: spr_fishermen03; (not in the folder > spr_fishermen00)
Offcourse the fisher female should be on an different source:
- *Fisherfemale 1: spr_fisherfemale01; (not in the folder > spr_fisherfemale00)
*Fisherfemale 2: spr_fisherfemale02; (not in the folder > spr_fisherfemale00)
*Fisherfemale 3: spr_fisherfemale03; (not in the folder > spr_fisherfemale00)
