Well, from what I have seen hunting might be added. In one of the hunting threads Kovu posted about the hunting system he was thinking of, which sounded awesome.
More customisation would be good too, there is good customisation now, not everyone looks exactly the same (although you do notice a lot of people using the same colours...) but there could be and probably will be more.
But I think with the way things are now if Items are ever considered to be added, they should be held off for a while. There is enough complaints about lagging, if items are added people are just going to complain more... Items should wait until a few issues are fixed...
And on the topic of 'Realism'
I don't know how many times people have complained about if Kovu wants realism then he wouldn't let the characters be multicoloured, that he would add hunting, etc. and it seems to be the excuse for most people who want things added to the game. but he never said it was going to be focused on realism! HE WANTED REALISTIC ANATOMY.
I don't mean to be rude or anything while pointing this out, but most people who go on about the realism are very misinformed.
This is mostly meant for the Jazz person who posted about the game being realistic or something like that, and to fix up misunderstandings. And I think Kovu has done a good job at making the anatomy more realistic, I have seen some of the old models, and they are more cartoony, FH's model's look more detailed, you know?
And I know this post is going to be ignored... It's happened plenty of times before, try to fix up a misunderstanding and they don't want to hear it because it's their excuse or whatever for the things they want added...
Sorry if this post seems rude to anyone, or I have gotten off track... I'm not too good at putting my thoughts down in words.
