Just a idea being thrown to the wolves, but how about some random events like pestilence, disease, roving band of mobs that just appear and attack both city and people traveling. This kinda goes along with the idea of the GMA sending assassins after players. it would be a way to shake things up a bit. Also I play mostly mages and this kinda actually would suck, but how about like certain times of the month or year magic becomes useless or something and all spellcasters lose their abilities then. Also, I still maintain we need a dog/wolf race, cause that would be cool. no abilities to transform or anything, just they look like a human or a dog.
