Original thread:

Should or shouldn't?

Discuss.

Now after a few day observing, I see a lot of you came up with positive ideas about how FF may affect the gameplay style and look like most of us are happy with implementing this change into MO.
I have taken the liberty to collect all ideas from different posters and compile it here for others to view. I also added my own ideas and encourage others to contribute their ideas of what they think is the perfect balance between FF on and off.
I also admit I was wrong to worry that this thread was going to hell with carebearism.
1) AOE spells should affect the caster. Spell sword character can no longer nuke the ground in front of them carelessly and then jump into the flame fighting. A mage will only nuke himself as an act of desperation. ~ Spartan
2) Ability to edit AoE spell, creating dead zones for the opponents and safe zones for caster upon casted ~ Killermandude
3) "...friendly fire is required in all situtations, in order to prevent the exploitation of collision detection and zerging..." ~ Nehemia
4) A tagging/ targeting system for caster in order to see where their spells land. ~ Traceur
5) Some sort of ON/OFF switch for FF, I am not sure if the poster also wants 2 servers, one with FF on and one with FF off or not ~ ~ Traceur
6) Necessary team/ guild member indicators such as guild tabard, colored clothing, flags...
7) Aea indicator where AoE spells will be cast by teammates to avoid (Can be displayed on the mini-map).
8) A system to deal with retribution for team killing. My idea for this is to keep some sort of morality score with can be reduced if the killed one decided to report to some sort of in-game authority. Also, if one decides to loot his teammate's corpse, his morality score with be reduced more upon reported. Needless to say, when it get under a certain threshold, the teamkiller will be expelled from his town/ faction/ guild.
