Does anyone have ideas for some relatively simple, but rewarding and fun things you would like to see permanently on the site? I figure it would be great to add something users can do (besides collect and craft) while we wait for bigger features like battling, competitions, quests, guilds, etc! Let me know if you have any ideas brewing!

Maybe some simple minigames? That could be an extra way to collect bits of gold or crafting items. A lot of sites that have minigames have a daily earning cap, so people can't exploit the hell out of them. They're usually pretty simple, so not strenuously difficult to create. You could even consider a competition to design and/or make some games.
Even simpler, as something just to pass time, perhaps a main-page highlight spot with a random beast's information highlighted. I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that a Beast Encyclopedia or Beastiary was in the works, so maybe a random page from there, which would highlight a single beast type and give some of the lore and information about the native country and context in culture, stuff like that.
Maybe random traffic events, similar to the 'random' events that occur around the Neopets site. For instance, maybe a notification pops up that you find a random coin bag on the ground and no one's around. Or an empty bottle or something, random common items or, rarely, a rare. There could also be easter eggs sprinkled around, some hidden humor or something akin to that, maybe nods and playful jabs at staff. Maybe finding some of them reward a badge or achievement stamp.
I dunno, just throwing stuff out there! xD

A competition to design a minigame would be awesome! I think we would need more users than we currently have, so we would at least have to be in beta I take it. I would also need to talk with Nik our programmer to see if that's something he could do. (:
The idea for a random beast article is great! We will incorporate that once we have a bestiary. That might be during beta/after official site status though since it's one of the lesser features I have on my list.
Random events and easter eggs are always fun and was something I was thinking about. That would definitely add some fun to gameplay. ^^ We'll add these systems before the bigger features for sure!

Maybe we could do little item quests that you could complete to earn coin/rarer items? Like, collect 4 madder root, and six feathers and you get a gold ore. Or collect 8 wool and get a small sum of coins. In addition to that, maybe have NPCs that give you quests. I know a lot of sites have things like this, and I would love to have some little NPCs running around!

coleus I like the idea of NPCs running about giving us jobs! We could even have tiered NPCs, similar to the way our items are tiered. For instance, a really rare wizards come through, and their quests would be more difficult (perhaps really high quantities) but the rewards would scale. Maybe even legendary NPCs, perhaps a mythological figure or deity? This could tie in to special/holiday events, significant to times of year relating to their origin stories or cultures. Might even be a way to get players to grind up a quest chain for a rare or limited item, such as a special skin or something like that. Ideas, ideas! ^^

I thought of another one, sorry for the double post, but how about a daily log-in bonus? A lot of sites reward players for consistently logging in, and this has the added benefit of bringing the players back so they might see recent news posts and/or updates, and stick around! Bonuses could be cumulative, and lead up to a bigger reward for different periods of consistent attendance. Or they could provide a bonus to collection or battling/exp gain, similar to Flight Rising (if anyone's familiar!). Just a thought! C:

coleus I have been thinking of a daily quests or questline feature. (: I need to think more on it but we will definitely have a quests feature either before or after main features. Magdalena That's a great idea! I'll see how complicated (or not) it would be to code in!

I'm in for the dailies too! It also helps getting people to log in daily ;D
For example just a streak, as in, they get a daily every day by logging in (maybe a small amount of gold? Or just something small!) and after like a few days logging in they get a bigger reward.. something neat could be added too! Like a beast maybe after quite a few days of logging in? Helps getting people to come back daily instead of weekly for example!

I don't mean to sound like I'm promoting another game, but on an adoptables site called Leayph, they have jobs that users can pick and choose from and that gives them certain bonuses. Perhaps something similar to that could be nice. There are ones like tamers, bakers, mages, etc. It's pretty neat. I love the idea of a daily login streak, but I feel that is more of a mobile app thing than for a game like this, but I'm all for it! There could also be maybe side quests like some users were mentioning, and maybe if pet battling is implemented there could be quests such as "win x amounts of battles" Going off of this, achievements are another aspect I would love to see! The possibilities are endless with this one.
