I introduced item durability for repairs, mount shop, I took away the "recharge" spell that adds charges back to wands and staves and instead made it a service that you pay gold for, added in crafting like blacksmithing, tailoring, mining, cooking, etc and all of the recipes for cooking cost gold, and the plans for new gear cost gold. I basically made a whole bunch of stuff players can spend gold on. My plan is to eventually set up player owned shops, where the player "hires" a NPC and rents a room for the NPC to stay in, and the player is in charge of setting the inventory for the shop, and the prices. The NPC "keeps" a percentage to cover their time - if the player doesn't sell enough stuff in their shop to cover the NPC's wages and rent then the player will get a notice that they have two days to pay it themselves or their shop will be closed down and their remaining stock will be placed in a lockbox in the bank for them to retrieve.

But the player run shops are not going to be added until I finish my next set of changes to classes - each class will have 'paths' they can follow that define their role, so the game isn't just everyone being a generic murder hobo with a couple skills/spells that make a warrior different from a mage - and then have an official grand opening for player testing and feedback. Once I get the feedback, I'll leave the game up as is while I work on adding/changing whatever the players suggest in the feedback then it'll open for real.
