Some of you may argue that this will take away from the simplicity of the game, but I beg to differ. Successful games have these measures in place for a raisin: THEY WORK. Now, if our developer Ben introduced these features, not only would the game be more successful - it could open up more marketing options as a source of income for the game (thus increasing the prosperity even more).

Positives:

UNIQUE NAMES
This is an obvious solution to name and rep griefing that so many people have. People would be more easily identifiable and it would create a longer lasting experience for some.

STATS TRACKING
Though perhaps much harder to implement, this would create a wider array of personal goals and/or achievements that players can set for themselves. Oh, and you can't disregard the bragging rights as an important plus ;D.

RANKING/LEVELING SYSTEM
Along with stats tracking, this creates another playing field to engage a player to be competitive. Something like this in a game grabs a person's attention to boot up the game and keep playing the next day. From personal experience I can say that this is a very easy game to just leave and come back to without feeling any remorse. If I had just 100 exp left to get to reach level 58...but I had to get off, I would probably get back on the next day to reach level 58 (but of course that's just me).

UNLOCKS
This is a rocky topic to discuss, but yes, it could be for the betterment of the gameplay experience. Time and time again people have argued about the simplicity of the game, and I agree - we should keep it simple. But, that does not mean we couldn't support the expansion of the game. Different classes could be used to portray a wider array of gameplay options. For example, a Medic could carry a semi-automatic rifle and be able to drop medipacks to heal fellow players as a special ability. A Demolitionist could perhaps carry grenades and 2 rockets but only be armed with a pistol. That, and, they could choose their different weapons to go along with a special ability (and as such, these mechanics are open to a whole WORLD of suggestions).

Everybody please post what you think, and make some suggestions of your own. I know I'm not the only one who wants to see this game succeed, so voice your opinions.
