I agree with the fame or reputation end. It always made everything a little better knowing that we were also building something transparent up. The benefits of which weren't always 100% necessary, but worthwhile all the same. I think this could not only be implemented but built upon.

That being, I really hope many of the core NPCs will go under an aesthetic rehaul and have unique models/textures/clothing. I mean none really stick out since they just look like players with an assortment of odd gear.
