It is true that the seas are dead and abbandoned and all empty (except for the donation islands etc.) so i would really like to see things like the mentioned implemented. And a few others I will mention know and some more info to the mentioned :>
First to the things mentioned by Aveit:
The current fishing rewards could be worse.. and the seas could be even more boring.... but tbh the rewards are not really that good (except for the really rare and not very special: colored fishing nets).
As mentioned there are the treasure chests you can fish up, but those are only wooden and not metal ones as aveit mentioned. to add metal chests would be nothing hard i suppose and it would be an easy way to increase the need of fishing goods, since many ppl want some of those
The seas have NO SPAWN (i think all the monsters i saw on the sea... and that are like maybe 3 monsters in many many hours of fishing.. really many hours..) and that is a bit strange, just add a few spawns with a large spawn area of some Sea serpents, other monsters or at least something like dolphins.
But dont add big spawns on litle areas, but let the spawn range over a large area... the seas are large
(and this way ppl wont camp spots on the sea to farm scales or whatever)
The ancient SoS... *hint* IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENT *hint* is just something that would put tons of more fun in the seas with the white chests, nets and SoS it could be used to deco or you could pull up leviathan and get the figth of your life
Allthough leviathans loot has to be changed since else he would drop semi-rares :> , instead add some nice items a fisher somehow may need.
With that i come to my own ideas:
Since mentioned last the loot of leviathan i got an idea for such an item, allthough it should still be no 100% drop:
"a legendary fishing-pole" adding to your fishing skill making it possible to fish up special new fishing items :O and those poles should come in different skill-levels (like +5 +10 +15 +20 the better the rarer)
I dont know about what items those should be yet but if this would really be thougth of to be implemented, there will sure be some ideas from me or fellow fishers
Those rare items shoudl work like that: You only have a chance to fish them up with a skill above 100 (or 105,110,115,120 for the even ultrae-uber-mega-rarer huehuehue *cough*) and of course with a veeeery low chance like 1% or better below (and far below for the better you know) making it possible to only get a maximum of 2 or 3 for the easier ones per hour.
The idea is a bit of a dream and maybe will never get even thougth of to implement, but i wont give up the hope
NEEEEXT!
When creating Trophys from a big fish the weigth of the fish is not shown...thats BS tbh so change it and make those fished mean something, i got tons lieing around somewhere and if the heavier would mean something i would throw away those that are not heavie enough for my needs and make the heavy ones to awesome trophys
Next:
Epic fish!
i dont heard much about them but they are ultra heavie and colored or something :>
Maybe as one of the +100skill fish/items
Next:
FISH TANKS!
you all know about them... Ryan wanted to add them ages ago i think...
GO GO ;/
Then again something more less realistic:
How about the possibility to change the style of your ship (maybe requiring different of the new items :>) to some other styles like a pirate ship or like a wiking ship (do we have a wiking rp guild or something? ;/)
So i know i forgot something that could be added but maybe ill post it later.. some of the mentioned things are pretty easy to implement and realistic and others are.. well they would require lots of work i think :>
At least implement some of them :p
SOOOOOO...... if there is nothing done im gonna ban you all from the forums *points at the staff*
