You've had a few years to start working on Hallifax and Gaudiguch. How much do you have left? 
How about when enough new players show up to support them?
Remove bards and monks, bring in Ackleberry? 
Also I would like bashing areas named Hallifax, Gaudiguch, Ackleberry, and Jojobo.

Admittedly I'm relatively new to the game, so my voice doesn't really carry much weight (not intended as whining - I just haven't been around long enough to know what half the things you people talk about are yet 
). Having said that, while I love the concept of Aetherspace and Great Families and... hell, everything else on that list, I'd have to say forging. Why? Well, pretty simple answer. It's fairly difficult to get a decent weapon if you're a young'n. Note that I said decent, not godlike - we just want something that makes bashing feasible, not stuff we can go toe to toe with the upper echelons in PvP with. And that's a fairly major deterrent, even for the monk classes.
On that note, I find all the "DELETE MONKS!" stuff out there a little disheartening. I understand why; I think the maximum number of people I've seen on in the Ninjakari was 5, and it's far more often just me and someone else. And the bashing is just obscene. And the combat abilities are, well, yeah a little unbalanced. Still, it's a little offputting to have so many people raring for the blood of the class you started as . Not really sure what my point was there, kind of a "yeah we suck but the RP possibilities are awesome, people"?

. Not really sure what my point was there, kind of a "yeah we suck but the RP possibilities are awesome, people"?The big issue is that before monks and bards came out, the archetypes worked really well together and against each other (or so they say), and now there's a lot of tweaking to be done to return to that balance.
Also because a lot of people want the lost cities/communes but the game's population can't support even one new one, and people would rather have a lost city/commune than bards and monks.
Oh, and more guilds thinned out the preexisting guilds' populations. Moar BT plz.

Go go making Forging viable to make designs which don't use all metal comms. 
Careful, or they'll solve it in the usual fashion- no more smelting! Buy mats for every forge! Watch Akui change archetypes!

Also, Illithoid are not meant to influence. If you want to, go choose a race without the CHA penalty in exchange for the huge amounts of CON and DEX they get. /illithoid argument.
Don't forget the int!

Other than that, I also support making merian and mugwump less sucky without bringing back the mindset of speed rules all. Let's knock down some of those weaknesses, yes.
Yay!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Like I said, it's rare that I see more than two Ninjakari (including myself) online, and more often than not, it's just me. And, truth be told, if one of the lost cities or communes opened up and had an existing archetype (warrior, say) with the stealth skillset, then I'd be there in a flash. I just really like the stealth concept. Oh, and the possibilities for Illithoid/Kephera RP (and yeah, I know, I still have yet to reincarnate into Illithoid. Give me a break, I haven't died since realising I'm playing the wrong race
)
