I did do anything Duskruin, and I'm not a 'giant' fan of Simucoins, but especially with the recent buyout, and the fact that I do really like this game, let me just outline two services or events.
LANGUAGE FAIR
Yeah, simple. Characters can learn a language. Dole it out in some way. Limit how many languages a character can know or speak. I'd like my main to understand and speak dark elven. $30 or so a ticket (with normal premium discount). I'd take the ticket if my main can learn and speak dark elven. It's an RP thing.
MAGICAL PERMANENCE
The last thinger with enhancives should be applied in some way to magical items. I have some goofy and fun items that can crumble. The fact of them being able to fall apart just makes me use the less. Yet at Ebon Gate, or even free events like last year's Spitfire (HOORAY) I could charge them like water (and some silvers). One is dyed crystalline rose; it's just invisibility. Glass amulets are easy to get on FWI, but I like the roses since the invisibility is activated on WEARing the item. The other is less common, but a Call Familiar 920 item. It's been recharged. But I'd get more out of it if I could be sure it didn't turn to dirt. $30 cost (with premium discount possible) and 3 items to Charge or Make Permanent.
These are two services I'd go for. The offerings recently weren't for me, and that's cool! I loved the Summit Expression Faire (did a round), but less the Spire and Duskruin anything. So, just a friendly post saying, "Hi, I think there are simple services for RP-types that were missed."
