One consideration: Medals are the thing that probably change more than everything else your game style. You change it to achieve a new goal and a new medal. How many players stopped, for example, to actively hunt SEs once they reached their Crystal medal? Or bounty hunting, or another game aspect?

Im not so interested in medals, but i know they i wanted Adventurer medal, it was my goal. I got the medal and i stopped going back to make new quests (unless they are temporary) since there is no further goal to achieve.

Also getting a new medal is something that keep you interested in game, and i suppose it gives you game satisfaction (how many time have you read or written in chat or forum: "You have been awarded "Xxxx" medal). Achieve a goal, bragging, anything that might keep you interested is good.

So the result is probably: there should be many more medals in game (new ones, for sure, but also many more steps in the current ones, some very easy, some nearly impossible)

For expample:
(note: i know this is a bit extreme, so just consider the general pattern, and not the actual names and numbers)
Change of the current medal system adding many more steps: Wooden, Stone, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Amber, Coral, Pearl, Opal, Quartz, Jade, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond.
(i picked random names, but again, are not important).

And to give some numbers:
SE Medals: 25, 50, 100, 175, 275, 400, 550, 725, 925, 1150, 1400, 1675, 1975, 2300, 2650, 3025, 3425.
or
Adventurer Medals: 7, 14, 28, 49, 77, 112, 154, 203, 259, 322, 392, 469, 553, 644, 742, 847, 959
(strange numbers, i know, but again not important, just two numbers series).

Current SE Crystal holders would have a Coral medal (at 925) and they would have to restart SE hunting to go to next step (1150). The last step at 3425 is months of hard work far.
I know i would have a Quartz adventure, and probably i would go back to make the quests i skipped.

First steps, easy to achieve, would give reasonable easy goals to players, keeping them interested, giving something to do (and keeping players acitve and happy).

Again, not really a suggestion, i know i picked probably too many different medals and totally random numbers. The point is just: something like this would create (i think) more interest.

(Also probably it wouldnt be difficult to implement, we already have medals, medal progress and everything, just a little re-colouring of the existing medals)

Thoughts?
