Magic

In this game i think that everyone who wants to use magic should be able to. Now I'm not saying that you get to start, man or woman, with all the powers and just keep upgrading them. Lets start with girl characters they are easier, so if any girl wants to learn magic all she has to do is go to the white tower and join the Aes Sedai faction, and they will be on there way to becoming a tower witch. But for male characters it is not that simple until the black tower is formed on your server which is not for a while how ever we spin it so... I decided that some characters should randomly be given magic powers as they level, taking in the "wilder" aspect and this will work for both men and women. I forgot to mention earlier that i do not think characters who use magic should be extremely more powerful than ones who don't i just think it is another character path some would choose to take (i hate the idea of a hero class or some uber class all that leads to is everyone racing to create one and it messes up the world and the feel). And up until Rand issues the amnesty i think that any male character that uses the power around other people should have consequences. They could range from shops not selling to you to people attacking you or... people thinking you are the dragon reborn be it a false dragon a dragon none the less.

Factions

When reading the Wheel of Time books you notice how many factions there are, it took me a while to think how you would do factions in this MMO since there are no real two forces against each other, i know darkfriends but you cant have darkfriends vs everyone and they have not cities. So i go another idea from Elder Scrolls what if when you start the game you are in no faction, but you can go join the cause you feel is right for you, it could be the city guard which might lead to the army and become a General. Or you could go and join the Whitecloaks and work your way up from there. All of these would have there own quest lines depending on what is happening at the story at that point in time. And for our darker players you would of course be able to join the darkfriends. but i think it would be much cooler if you did not loose your position in the other faction you are in when you join the darkfriends you just have more option to sabotage them but of course if they find out you are a darkfriend, a guard see you kill some one or i don't know anything you loose your spot in your original faction, if i guess you don't kill the guard that saw you.

Starting a Characer

So, in my mind when it comes to choosing your character and how he looks i think you should be limited on where you start in the game, ex. aiel would be tall and have light hair and light eyes, kinda like Elder Scrolls on how people are different. So that just by looking at someone's appearance you can tell what part of the world they started out in. I do not think that you should choose your class when you start the game, maybe what you want your character to lean to, like a major attribute but not a class, original SWG style.
