How can we make this easier? How can we make this more fun? Share your thoughts.

Too be honest I cant really think of a whole lot on this subject.

Reducing Spam( we already have a few toggles for this stuff) Maybe expanding on it.
What we have

• 1. Brief Mode
   Turns off room descriptions, you can type look to still see the room
• 2.Compact Mode
   Removes empty lines
• 3.Nobattlespam
   Removes players titles, reduces spam in battle
• 4.Deaf Mode?
  Does it work?

What we could add

• 1. A toggle so you dont see what players are moving in and out of their inventory/dropping?
• 2. Toggle for removing players spammy log ins. Such as people with spells and RP login/logout?
• 3. Toggle for players walking in and out of a room notice.(I know im guilty of running through recall about 5 times in 10 seconds then using some type of recall item that spams even more)
• 4. Possibly moving rooms around recall around. Something like

[Locker Room] > [Healer Room] > [Mail room] > [Recall Room]

This way a player only walks through recall once to get a drink and see the healer rather then:
Enter Recall
Go Get a drink in Mail Room
Reenter Recall
Go to Healer to Heal
Enter Recall
Leave recall to go to a dimension.
That is around 6 or 7 lines of spam from one player.

Now im not sure if we have any existing toggles that does this already from knowledge.

But on top of that I think it would be neat to have small activities/games that they could play. Such as gambling? They can make a little bit of cash but make sure its something thats not spammy. Also this would be something to keep in mind when it comes to creating crafting and skills down the road.
