Hey guys, just thought I'd share some ideas that I've stored up for a while.
Thought that they might scale well with where Classic's headed at the moment.

Tell me what you guys think! Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Pyrate Quest Timer

This would be very useful to most players who want to know how much time is left before they can do their daily quest. I've had this idea in mind ever since I skipped the quest a couple of times due to poor timing.

Jagain could have a timer implemented onto his chat interface, or it could be put somewhere in the menu.

Water Mount/Hybrid

I've thought this through a couple of times, and to be honest I think it'll be interesting. A water mount is basically a mount that can travel the same speed as a regular mount, but on water! The rare Manta Ray could be converted to act like one, based off of it's aquatic origins.

I've considered the outcomes, and I've taken the fact that there simply aren't enough water tiles to prove the water mount useful as a transportation source.

So to compensate, I've thought about a hybrid! One that can travel both on land and water at reasonable speeds.

Stake Sparring

There are some fearless sparrers out there, but what about taking it to the next level? I've only thought about the core of this idea so far.

Stake sparring would be an interesting feature where two sparrers can bet x amount of gralats. And if they win, they get the gralats from their opponent.

This idea would probably induce scamming, but at the same time it would also allow high risk sparrers to make profit. And to prevent scams from occurring less, only players with 1000+ spar wins would be able to participate.

As said above, tell me what you guys think. The last idea wasn't constructed as well as I would have liked, but give your criticism anyways.

If some of these ideas were mentioned before, I understand, but please don't flame.

Cheers!  

These are good ideas. The timer would be a convenient feature to people who do the daily pyrat quest. The stake sparring might be a decent thing, but I don't think that would work too well. Now the water mount. That could actually be a great thing to have, as it would allow faster movement over water and maybe it could be used for something like new areas that could require a mount, although that would require the mounts to have special properties, like the ability to travel over currents too strong to swim through. Overall, I like your ideas. I also see that you're new, so welcome.  

Aha, thanks for the comment. I don't think staking will be implemented anytime soon, but it's always worth mentioning it.

The hybrid/water mount could use a bit more tweaking though. I'm still attempting to come up with more ideas, so stay tuned!  

As soon as I got my Manta Ray i instantly ran to the water on it. I was a little dissappointed how it couldnt go on water. water mount sounds cool to me  

they should add some spikes in walls of spar fields so they stop wall sparrin. it seems like they wanna hug and marry the wall.  

I like the ideas, but I can see high prices on those water mounts, especially if it is a hybrid. If were lucky, it could be a vip item though. :]

I definitely like the idea of the water/hybrid mount being VIP. And if it is put on sale, it would probably be a hefty price like you said.  

Well, the unfortunate thing is that there is nowhere to swim too.  

new well thought through ideas are always welcome.

VIP island and pyrat island come to mind

Uh...York? The bridges beneath the Castle and near Belle could be used too. Other than that I can't think of much.

Edit: Actually I just had an idea. We could make it so that the amored panda and turtle mount can swim the seas. The Panda can also get an uplift on land speed while the turtle can get a lift on water speed. It'd still make sense to buy the panda as you said, there is more land than water.  

The water areas could be more exploited, such as whirlpools could be added and they alone could base new quests.  

I like your ideas and the one I only have a problem with is Stake sparring. Like you said, scamming would be an issue. Players with over 1,000 wins wouldn't make them innocent. It would of course reduce the amount of people that would be able to scam, but wouldn't eliminate the problem itself.
