My suggestion (assuming its not already been implemented) is that with certain environmental events, by which i mean events that affect the actual environment, it would be good if certain proffesions, or by use of nearby environmental "weapons" (but not necessarily an offensive weapon, ill explain) we could restore/rebuild the einvironment. Now by this i mean things that are man-made being destroyed, the players should be able to have a hand in their repair or prevention of the damage.
Ill give a couple of examples. 1) In one of the screenshots we see a house in a human occupied town which is on fire and some locals looking on with horror. In-keeping with the events system flavour, I think it would be pretty cool if, say, and elementalist who happened to be in the area could try and douse the flames with his/her water magic spells. Or for someone without access to water magic, they can run off to the local well, or river with a bucket and fill it with water to throw on the fire. The bucket taking the form of a non-offensive environmental weapon. 2) If you come across a small house in the middle of nowhere which has been recently ransacked my a band of marauding Centaurs, and this has left the walls damaged, or the windows smashed in. Maybe the residents ask you to help by finding some nearby wood to board up the damage. So you go off, find the wood, which can be used as an environmental weapon, and bring it back to the house. Then perhaps the residents ask you to help with the repairs, you get handed a hammer, functioning as another environmental weapon, and use the skills from the hammer to repair the damage.
Also to add to the whole "we want players to work together in the world because they have common goals" thing, it would take more than one elementalist/ player with a bucket of water to put out the fire. So other nearby players will be encouraged to help to put out the fire, and will be rewarded in doing so with Karma, gold, XP etc.
After writing this i realise it has just turned into a suggestion of a type of event, but the main point i was trying to get across was the idea of things like an ele using water magic to put out a fire.
thanks for reading, any comments would be welcome :)
