Our current owners just don't have the resources to make something like that anymore, hence why I only comment on the story part.
What kind of resources DO our current owners have to work with, and have there been any statements as to what kind of future development this game will receive? I've made a lot of suggestions since I've been back that could add new, Ryzom-appropriate content to the game, including providing much needed end-game content, but it all could need some involved developer time.
If it's already known that any future enhancements need to be scaled down drastically, then either we keep that in mind, or propose suggestions that are small and stand on their own yet can work together for something bigger over time. Some things (like the music creation system, or Kitin battlezone) might never be possible in such a situation.
