I have a few ideas/suggestions...they might not be new, but I hope they are.
- give us a fish hatchery or a clam farm....we can use the harvest for sushi or it could go on the grill
- give us a trading area where we can put an item or items up for trade and specify what we would take in return. With the option to make the trade either public or private....if private, we would indicate the GC ID of the only person who could complete the trade or trade with "friends only"). This would most often be used for building materials or expansion items but could also be used to fill boat orders. Allow the person offering the trade to attach a time limit and only allow 2 trades a day (or some kind of limit...maybe let folks have an extra trade for a diamond and maybe we could retire Tom). You could "freeze" the items offered for trade in the trader's barn so that you don't have to worry if there is space to "return" it if the trade expired.
- give us orange trees - trees that produce oranges. So pretty.
- I like the new thank-you cards but could we have a list of responses we could choose from so they could be somewhat customized? And take suggestions from players on what they'd like to use as a response so we'd have new/different options occasionally.
- I want to grow flowers...I could sell them in a bouquet, us them to decorate my farm, make potpourri to sell, or...
- give us a clay mine (harvest clay from the ground/underground that we could use to make pots in our kiln. We could add flowers we've grown ourselves to decorate with or sell for profit.
That's it for now. Thanks HD people. You are all so kind.
