What about looking at different events on the calendar, or planned events for the future, and designing stuff to go in the hopper to compliment that? For example, next month the Mentors are having a dark elf weekend.. so maybe some dark elf themed stuff.. or for the month they do the erithi weekend, a whole mess of neat looking katanas and other erithi stuff. Maybe Paersi could let everyone know whats coming and people with some extra time who create things for the hopper could maybe make themed stuff. Or with the upcoming embassy release, maybe things for each of those races/cultures. I dunno, random thought I had while on too little sleep and too much coffee.
