lovely. i've found myself tinkering with source modifications and perl to allow me to implement such things as mining and custom (scripted) trade-skills very recently.
one of my major complaints with most of the servers out there is a lack of variation. once people become familliar with how something works, it almost immediately becomes less interesting. i've always thought it'd be well worth the time invested to add a bit more flavor to interactions with things in the world via randomization.
bust up a barrel? maybe it was home to a rat or two that aren't too pleased with the disturbance. perhaps you get hit by a falling rock when you're mining in a cave. what if the creature you're trying to dispatch is capable of changing its strategy depending on your group makeup?
