As I'm walking through Gondor on my server I find a village... but wait! What are these people doing? I find many of them in a bar. How do they get the money to spend at the tavern? It seems like the bartender is the only one in this town with a job! That isn't right. I think that they should get a job (and that job can't be to work at McDonalds).

Well, easier said than done. I realize that Mevans would spend a whole ton of time coding that, so I think there should be something less complicated than being an accountant. For example, some hobbits should destroy any dandilions or thistles that they find. Maybe some rohirric men should flip items around in their frames, or perhaps elves will plant saplings in empty places. Comment some of the jobs that otherwise normal NPCs would do to make the mod more interesting. Another idea is that people inside a house might drop plates into cauldrons (or water spaces) to 'wash' their dishes. I'm okay if this one gets dishapproved though. When you talk to someone doing a job, they should stop and look up at you (and talk with some of the chat ideas that I'm going to put in another suggestion).

I think that this would make the mod more interesting. This idea is very expandable, and could be used in the mini quest system. For example, a hobbit picking weeds might ask you to help him pick some, whereas an orc killing rangers might ask you to kill some rangers and help him out.

Tell me what you think, and we'll see where it goes.
