Hello all. I just have a smallish suggestion. Has anyone thought of making so we can deposit/leave our cash in the bank and gain a bit of interest depending on if we're basic or upgraded. Or possibly creating a safe or something for depositing the cash?

Also what about adding in some basic games to gain a bit of cash like slot machine, pick the winner of a dog/horse race *among like 3 to 5 entered*, a version of rock/paper/scissors or something like that?

Also, all kennels/stables say 0/0 for available slots for animals. Even if a person just joins and gets that week thing upgrade, shouldn't they at least be given 1 free slot in the kennel and the stable and then if they let it go basic, they can board somewhere else and if they upgrade, they can buy more?

What about some sort of tack for the horses like saddles, bridle/halter?
Tack for dogs, leash and collar
and buy food for each...grain/hay for horses and dry/wet food for dogs

Anyway, just a couple of thoughts to think on.

I do like the "interest" from the bank idea... and even the "safe" idea perhaps isn't such a bad idea either.. that you know the code too, and can keep there, safe from thieves and so you don't have to display to the entire world how much money you have... however that's what the passcode is for before making payment transactions, and there's ways the knowledgeable coder can hide the amount of money you have to an extent.The rest, with saddles and bridles and mini games... most players have come on here to "hide" from... We all loved HL before they turned into basically a small child's game, with mini games and horse avatars... Though personally, it wasn't the avatars and buying tack that bothered me, because you use to be able to still put a graphic up if you wanted... it was the generally economy for example I hated...If you want those things, just play HL :)

I've suggested some more mature mini-games before and they weren't incredibly popular because of the reasons mentioned above. BUT! You should definitely try HP2 when it opens since it will have mini games :).I do like the bank idea, but as for interest, since we are trying to take money OUT of the economy it might be counter-intuitive at this time? What do you think?

True, on the interest at this time I think after thinking about it since we get a salary from the bank each week. So, I guess that wouldn't work, but I like the idea of being able to hide your exact amount of cash from other players as I've found on some other games that if you show you have a lot of cash, people sort of expect you to buy high priced stuff or won't bother to buy stuff from you even though you price it below the going rate since they think you don't need the cash. The safe idea or something like that still might be a good idea for the future.As for HL if that is the game I'm think of, not the best accessible game for those using screen reader technology, rather graphical and text readers don't do pics, only text. I can play it to an extent because I know a lot of commands to work around some of the grphics problems since I'm a gaming tester, but most visually impaired people wouldn't bother with it.I'll definitely watch for HP2 though!

I would like a way to be able to hide our money from other players. That's probably something that can get added in eventually!

^ I second the hide bank thing. It's not a HUGE deal but I kind of feel like my bank balance is my personal business and i'd prefer if I could keep it that way

I agree with being able to hide your money would be great. But I would like to see some more important things that we need added first. I just send my money to hideaway accounts so no one knows how much I have.

I suggested this along time ago and i was told since we have to have a password to send money anyways,that there wasnt a need to hide the bank amount
