Don't think I like this. Maybe as some people suggested about using a
minigame for important doors, but I don't think minigames are very
conducive to CF's atmosphere.

Nice. I'm interested in ways to revamp crafting.


Then reduce the dropped items. I mean, so much junk!

All part of the fun! After all, real adventurers would need to wade through
corpses, body parts, and paraphernalia to find the valuables.

Interesting, but I fondly remember the twitchy, fastpaced nature of CF in
the old days(think monochrome cfclient). Granted, I was playing that on a
LAN server rather than internet, and that was before spell casting took
time, etc.

Just my two cents. I have strong feelings about many things, so I have to
be careful how I let them out. :)
