Also, the ability to rotate the fireplaces from lit to unlit, if it isn't too difficult to do. And lastly, for any Event, LTQ, etc. electric fencing or something that looks like electric fencing; as well as invisible fencing (for the Dog Days of Summer Event) to restrain pets into certain areas or keep pets from going into someplace you only want visitors to go (gives friends the chance to visit your ranch and island house while keeping pets out, or keeping certain pets inside while others stay outside). The latter might be a bit too technically inclined, so no worries if so.

21 Posts	Link to post - Posted December 17th at 5:27 PM Blahramewe An idea for next Christmas: A daily Feat of Strength quest from the Festivus guy once the pole is up. This could take the form of a "miniboss bush" that takes over the pole which has 30-40 HP.

The latter might be a bit too technically inclined, so no worries if so. The holograph projector would make a great ranch item. I've noted it down to consider! The lit/unlit fire idea is neat. It's a bit of an art request, depending on how they're drawn. We'll consider this. Fences for the wandering ranch critters has been an issue for a while. They're kind of "boosting" each other over the fence. It's on our list to look for a solution to that.

I've noted these down. 2) Most past event store items should be available in each event's prior item store. Regarding being able to buy multiples, I've been adding these on a case-by-case basis, so let me know what items in particular you should be able to buy multiples of and I'll consider doing so. 3) I'm not sure on the specifics of the delay seen when changing your player name, but last I recall it's somewhat inherit in the system and not necessarily worth the dev time to work around it. 4) VIP is designed as a way for players to accelerate their gameplay, and doing their quest hub dailies more rapidly is an expected way to apply this benefit. 5) These are great ranch/custom suggestions! Noted. #) A crafting success boost on every fail would be a nice feature for sure. I'll think about it as a potential alchrafter certificate bonus!

Yup, it's on my list to add a Port-Co. teleporter to the new hub. I'll consider adding a countdown to the Crier.
