I love to hang out in the Ideas forum, so here's what I think are the best ideas, and they've all been proposed (or at least, read by me) multiple times:
+Something needs to be done with paper besides just being able to write notes, I find paper trees all over the place these days now that Ur is so much bigger than it used to be and I have nothing to do with it! Ideas forum says: More Penpersonship skills that would allow us to create books, newspapers, origami, paper-mache creations, etc.
+Subway improvements: map available in subway, stereotypical subway voice recording (and more subway stations, of course!)
+Better inventory management tools Ideas forum says: mixed ideas, but concept of bags with "rules" (all <<things of category>> go into <<this bag>>) and an area on the website or in game to easily expand things, move things around by drag-and-drop are both cool suggestions.
+Mining: Insanely profitable. Everything else: not so much. Needs balance (actual ideas regarding how to fix this are...mixed, and the threads usually degenerate into arguing — any "best ideas" here you want to recommend, Glitches?)
+Map tools: Have streets revealed on the map as you progress. Don’t want people to be stumbling around too much, but I think Ur should be more of a mystery!
Already in Progress according to Tiny Speck (and as far as I know):
+More house designs and house customizations can’t come soon enough (to be released after launch) (Group Halls as well!)
+Actual Giants storyline, Rook menace, and post-level 20 content can’t some soon enough (in progress now, as the recent release of Piety and Martial Imagination illustrate! And don't forget, all those cool quest creation tools TS used to create the Jethmadiah Tower and its quests are being used as we speak...)
+More music! :D
Can't wait for all of the cool ideas above to be put into the game, and for TS to start taking up even more new ideas! :)
Remember I'm the guy who actually creates graphics for the ideas. :) If you like an idea I'll try to create a full graphic for it... even animated with sounds. Post a note in the Graphics Gurus group if you want anything like this.
Anyways, best idea... I don't know. I'm partial to the recent post about new NPCs right now. I really would like to see more story driven quest lines that require some modicum of teamwork or player interaction.
I would take being able to put fireflies into a hive and have them make honey (but say only when they are at 7 or more... so if you are looting your hive for fireflies, you get no honey).
What is the name of that wintry place? It would be nice to see that expanded (with penguins!) +1 to that! And BEES! +1
Or maybe you dig ice cubes there from patches like you do dirt.
Or even buy them from the Sno-cone bear.
I know this isn't the idea thread but this is fun.
Along with the bees idea comes new skills like Beekeeping, etc. This would require some level of Animal Kinship just like Animal Husbandry. I love making choices for new skills. I always wanted to be a bee keeper IRL but my wife is alergic to their sting so it would be wonderful to be able to have a hive in my Glitch house for making honey for cooking etc.
Damn! I'm succumbing to the temptation. I KNOW this isn't the ideas forum. But a way for player made Hooch and Beer would be great! Cocktail Crafting III? Maybe with some other skills combined? Distilling I?
