Just like last year, I've compiled a list of the popular suggestions from 2009. I define popular by comparing the yays and the nays in each thread. A yay from a staff member counts as 2 yays, and a nay from a staff member counts as 2 nays(not because they're worth more, but because they're more likely to understand the possible problems with implementing some ideas.). A yay or a nay from Tom will make the difference between inclusion and non inclusion. Hopefully this list will assist the staff in crafting a game that the players will enjoy more. Maybes, or opinions which I can't tell whether they're for or against won't be included.

Also, I think the "Minor Errors That Need Fixing" Sticky should be remade. There were a few posts this year about spelling errors, mapping bugs and unfinished buildings. This makes the game seem very unprofessional to new players and if people could just post it when they find it, it could easily remove sloppy mistakes.
