[*]Maybe I just haven't seen some of this yet, if so...please excuse my newbiness.

- Thieves and thieving.
- Inns and rental housing and the need to/benefit of sleeping.
- Character created quests which other characters could perform.
- Player versus player (PvP). I know many people hate this, but many love it. I find myself in the healthy middle. I think PvP should be possible in the game, however there should also be limitations, such as:
(a) Maybe a server with PvP enabled.
(b) Maybe only on some islands/continents is PvP enabled.
(c) Maybe PvP is enabled on all servers, but you cannot attack a character with normal 'attack' action, you must perform a distinctly different 'attack character' action.
(d) Maybe do as described in point c, but simply have zones/regions where guards or all NPCs will come after you and either attack or you are fined or put in jail for assault or murder. I see no problem with having 'no man's land' and 'waste lands' and 'bad neighborhoods' and 'shady towns' where you may very well be attacked if you are notwise enough to pay attention, gather information or read signs with regional laws or warnings on them.
(e) A form of PvP which would be very interesting would be the ability to subdue and capture a prisoner/victim.
(f) Voluntary character dueling, at a minimum, needs to be available.
I believe these elements are missing and would greatly increase the enjoyment of the game.
Please, if you agree or disagree with my thoughts, feel free to reply. I hope that player feedback helps shape Horizons content in a way that leads to its greater and greater success. That is something that makes my own gaming more fun, after all...better and more interesting game with more people and variety in it.
