i'd prefer more customized verbs on items and less ambient things.
one of my coolest ever verb alterations are these foraging gloves i got when i first started. when i WAVE them, i do a special room message about foraging + it actually performs a survey.
by far the coolest verbed item i ever got, because in the end it allowed me to do a customized version of survey. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

The biggest problem/issue with items such as those (custom verbs emulating existing commands) is that they typically aren't subject to any updates/patches/rewrites of the original command it was taken from. _________________ Mickey Brunner

yeah i noticed that when my gloves didn't tell me what could be sold in the room. but, that said, if that would be fixed in Live it would be 110% awesome to see more of those and less of "Bob's eyes mischievously flash and flicker with sparks shooting out" every few minutes. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

We have the ability to make you enter a command you didn't actually enter. That is, said gloves could conceivably do their message or what not, then make your character function identically as if you had typed SURVEY. But, this would include room message you generate by using the command, etc.
Although it's possible for the system to even know that you didn't physically type the command and therefore handle it differently (like have you not issue room messaging), this is a bit of a nuisance. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

could that be something made to be less obnoxious on the GM end in live?
when it comes to alterations, along with making yaru get the right "look" another big thing is helping make him act in a certain way when doing certain actions (for example, the gloves with the custom survey have him scrambling about the floor look at odds and ends in a rather hyper manner as opposed to just assessing a room) _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

By "nuisance", what I mean is that we'd have to do some special alteration of every command that is supposed to work differently when called in this unusual manner. So for example, SURVEY would need some special handling in it. This is doable, but does tend to clutter up the code and force staff to work on an aspect that is arguably of low significance on a game-wide scale. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato
