Have you thought about co-op puzzle levels for creators to make, to make the community interact more and make good use of the chat system as well as including a teamwork aspect and making friends. Also the levels would be a little more challenging.

I recently played Eve Online, and their chat system is quite great, in the way you can drag a players name into your chat box instead of typing it, it also highlights it so others know who the message is directed too.

Thanks Renboy for the previous replies.

Regards.

It's interesting you mentioned the chat system - it is undergoing some big changes at the moment! (stay tuned for this one)

We were bouncing some co-op ideas around, and we do believe we can find some fun ways for players to "passively" interact with each other to overcome challenges. The main direction of the game is still a 'Massive single player' - but the 'massive' can influence your single player experience in many more ways then it currently does :)

Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely some ideas we'll keep in mind :)

I really like the idea of Co-Op and competitive.
The single player aspect of Below Kryll is outstanding, and I wouldn't change it.
But I think you touched on something really special with the races.
Interacting with the community in a more involved way.
Upvoting and Level creation are paramount, but it's nice to have sideline activities that allow the community to interact directly.
I'm not really sure how this would work... but here is a couple ideas for more interplay activities.

-Scavenger hunt. Maybe a player will be able to hide an invisible trigger in an area. The area creator will get a notification that an easter egg has been hidden.
If the creator finds it, they get some gold/trophies/glory/fame. If the creator doesn't find it then the player gets a small bonus of the same.
If the creator doesn't log back in, the initial cost of the easter egg gets refunded?
I dunno, it's a rough idea.

-Direct pvp challenges. Maybe a creator an enable a pvp arena zone. Or perhaps a zone in upper kryll can be designated as a battle ground. Maybe with some kind of map notification that someone is there to battle? (Kinda like the race notification) Some obvious issues with this would be latency.

Not sure, just throwin ideas around.
