Removed colour tags. Use to highlight, not on whole blocks of text. Remember different people have different backgrounds so many not be able to read certain colours (like dark purple).

Also put those large images in hidden tags.

OK.
I got some suggestions that will perfectly fit this game.

1)Marriage. (DUH)
You can marry (other players or NPC's or I dont know) a woman and have a child, and when time passes and you and your wife die, everything is passed on to your child and so on.
Kinda like sims. :P

2)NPC jobs.
Lets say, the club. If you have a high reputation (that probaly requires some engine to befriend or just talk other NPC's and players to get your rep up) you can enter certain clubs that lower rep players can't enter.
Or lets say you add skills, and you choose music as a hobby (or a career), you can "go up on the stage" and replace the.. um.. Arthas xD Or play next to him.
Although this suggesion requires to break the entire "Knights & Farms" theme. xD

Well, only suggesting. Do as you will.

Should be really cool to have a reputation system which has individual and faction system:
- Individual rep such as when u robbed a shop keeper and got caught, next time u trade w/ him, he will charged u higher or refuse to trade w/ u and talks rude speech for few days time - on the other hand if u bought from him alot of items (and stealing w/o being caught at the same time :D - of cuz ^^ - nah, j.k) u will became his friendly customer and have to pay less for the goods.
- faction rep just like Dragon9087 said, could be cool - clubs, Rebels Vs Terrorists factions (w/ faction shops selling unique items?)

Dudes, I would just like to say that if you pull this map off well it should be awesome. I also thought that maybe if you are going to incorporate a reputation theme, you should reduce the risks of being robbed and increase jail scentences as your criminal reputation grows, i.e. pick pockets become scared of you and so do risk stealing from you, and police are abviously aware of your shady goings on, and so make the most out of the times they catch you. I dunno though, maybe this would work better if your game was very crime orientated rather than average day life style, which I get the impression it may be, anyway just a thought :) Keep up the good work.

I'm sorry to say; The map has suffered a major setback. My computer decided not to work anymore. So I had to re-install Windows, and with that deleting all components. I didn't have a backup of the map. But all of it isen't gone. Magdreamer had an older version. I'm gonna redo the work that's lost, but it will take time..Which I don't have these days :/
