Not open for further replies.
  1. We LOVE to hear from a Community anxious to share their ideas with the staff, and hopefully have their ideas implemented on the server. However, we do want to try to limit the duplicates of these suggestions. We've been around for many years now and we've had a LOT of suggestions over the years. So before you suggest something, give these lists a quick read to make sure it's not something we've already had suggested before.

    Not all suggestions will be documented here, simply because there are so many. If you'd like to see a FULL list of all previous suggestions, please look into the Suggestion Box Archive section.

    There are 4 sections below and each is divided into sub-categories:
