Beyond being able to code in fancy things for systems I can see them being useless, but thats exactly why I want them XD. Trying to code cool looking labels around my map window to show directions, if I can go that way and if they are blocked or the room is flooded, but it would be a heck of a lot easier with those in gmcp.
Or are they there and I'm just looking at the wrong spot all together?
How in the hell does Forging work now? The help file is either outdated or not very clear!

There are a number of areas that essentially have been emptied out of the majority of the content and life of it, and it's mostly barren. Off the top of my head, I'd classify Tasur'ke, Ulangi as these, I've seen a lot more where they're empty either from being 'destroyed' typically.
Are there any plans to repopulate or repurpose these areas? I don't overly like the 'dead' areas as I feel they're just taking up space and removing content (when they're destroyed)
Few key points I will bring up:
(Due to trying to uphold a standard, and not need retconning later (It's messy to do))
-Try and keep it on theme with the course of current Roleplay
-Tasur'ke is a grandfathered area, get creative and make it something unique, though geographically the same.
-Remember Mages get pearls there
-The Great Hunt mob is there
-The Forgotten Dome is also underneath
-List organizations who would fit in the involvement of this transition
-Remember historical references and ensure it will not interfere.
Other than that creativity is encouraged, I mean we have done some pretty amazing and drastic things with the spark of an idea up here.
(Fellow Celani, @Oleis and others...chime in if I have forgotten anything)
- Sometimes things will NOT go as you planned, it happens and it is part of making the environment realistic and not inherently fabricated. Those little twists and painful character moments can sometimes bring forth amazing continuation points.
Mobs in the world having chances to 'drop' unique relic pieces that players can gather and use to mutate themselves? I won't lie, I have been wanting something like this since the creation of reanimation skill set. The ability to modify the body in ways that go beyond flattery, but completely bastardizing how they choose to look like. As a vampire and a werewolf, I dreamed of ability to fight monsters bigger them myself to hack off the limb of a monster and replacing my own with something stronger! ((For example, upgrading the fangs with a snakes, arms with dragon clawed arms))
With the future tied to who knows what exciting things on the way. I was hoping that some of the previous generation content of mutations could be tied to quests, mob hunting, and general boss fights that could leave an indellible mark on a player. I especially would love to combine some of the old artifacts 'baked' into the new design itself. Like having the previous year's scorpion tail merged with the artifact scorpion tail so that if you don't have a poison on hand, it'll automatically do the formaldehyde ((sorry can't type)) poison.
An by epidemic, I mean a small segment of the population((NPC'S)) begins to ALSO be affected in some ways. Mortals who like play-acting being Xenophobic, could have some kinda of mutations they do not allow players to have! As a player like myself, who spends much more time consuming the mutant crickets on a daily basis in were-wolf form....mehehehehe...I am a little disappointed I couldn't be infected even as a mortal digesting the mutated crickets in the sewers of spines....but I love the idea of becoming a BIOHAZARD!

Also, is that pink cadillac still up in the Pools?
What's the craziest random item you've ever written that you know no one but the admin will ever see? (Like said pink cadillac?)

There are varying degrees of skill and experience amongst the Celani and Administration. Typically the Celani are learning and have to go through varying degrees of aptitude before unleashed on the world as a whole. There are definitely Higher ranked folk up here that would be considered more Coders and there are folks who legitimately know the lore like the back of their hands.
You kind of get a feel for who those folks are, and generally we (At least in my time up here) take time to confirm with one another before throwing something out in the world.
That being said, they tend to give the Celani assignments that will be beneficial as a learning experience, especially for someone like me who is inept at coding, they said hey...Sarosh go make some quests.
I learned how to make quests...voila! (Thank you others in the pools for dealing with me tearing my hair out)
Also may as well answer the end part:
A jungle themed inflatable bouncy house.
Brb, making a Corruption-themed inflatable bouncy house for Chakrasul's temple. People will flock to the Congregation!

Not every admin is a coder, since that is very complex and requires some physical setups on the volunteer's pc, but they, too, have ranks.
As for lore, most of us have a good grasp on the lore, but we can't know everything. But if we don't know, there are several people who have been up long enough that we can ask. There are some cases, however, where if there's just not enough lore we might simply make it up. The cause of this sort of situation is usually due to the abysmal record keeping in the past.
Where did the 90k/kill max come from? It is possible to increase the xp gain dependent on levels or just in general?
I only ask because I've been through Imperian xp numbers for pk and they are absolutely ridiculous! OM NOM NOM NOM NOM! I can't help but think that people who want levels would be more inclined to PK if the xp gain was different and better than 90k per kill.
For anyone who would like to see Imperian xp gains on pk: http://forums.imperian.com/discussion/521/biggest-pk-exp-hauls
For reference, a Xorani is around 3250 at my resting xp bonus (75%). However, if I am in bashing mode, they are worth 10k or more. Bashing outpaces PK insanely fast, especially since PK has a lot of downtime. If I'm bashing, it's a bit of a chore to go to a lesser.
The xp may be worth it to someone not at endgame, but once you cap out your iron elite and get used to maintaining bashing buffs, it hits a cap and gets underwhelming.

M'uru/Entropius still may show up to break your guilds in half.
I have 30k. Am I more popular/loved/hated/in trouble?
