Has MindArk got any new professions on the drawing board. Some time ago MindArk said a possible profession for the future could be "truck driver" where you could transport items from one place to another, is this idea discarded or is it still something you are looking into?

rstock asked:
Seems to me that myself, and alot of other players are experiencing lag with certain tpes of creatures. Mainly Atrax, drones and molisk.
They cause lag that is in no proportion to the size and complexity of the creature, and systems that are powerful enough to load 200 longu without lag, but as soon as an atrax enters visual range, the lag is horrid. Is anything going to be done about this?

Pinky asked:
An increasing number of people are taking up Hair Styling now, and have gained enough skills to be able to colour hair, yet only one creature drops Basic Hair colour sets, and then only the males (Calamusiods). This has driven the price up to stupid amounts. Are there plans to increase the drop rate, or add to another creatures drops?

andyzammy asked:
MA controls the loot for everything (obviously): as far as i can tell the mining economy (of ore drops) has stabalised, with slight fluctuations of the common ores/ens. does MA plan to change certain drops (ie make some rarer ones appear for a while) or is the system going to stay as it is?

Is there any form of group ownership going to be added so Soc's can buy land without having to totaly trust the deed holder. Maybe as part of the stock exchange. We need more ways for the general players to be able to invest as that seems to be the direction MA is heading in paying for new updates.

To follow up on taming developments, any ETA as to when the improvements may take place, what direction (higher level features i.e hunting pets, fighting in arena, riding them, using for transport)? Will there be additional pet related equipment available (like armor, attachable weapons, saddles, etc.) Also will there ever be a non (L) brush, as those of us that tame a lot hate to see the item disappear. Will the skillgains in taming be able to grow normally, as they have been slowed down lately considerably

there seems to be a triple standard on autoclicking the 3 stadards being

-Autorunning - it seems NOT OK to MA that anybody uses an autoclicker to rake up dodge points without a MOD Fap - (ie...no decay)
