As a very much newbie to coding [Circle at least], the things I've wanted
include:
Auto-(diag|gold|loot|etc) commands
The option to level-limit objects
Object stacking display (ie, "(2x) a long sword", etc)
Room flags to speed or impede H/M/V regeneration, or to deal damage (etc)
Equipment given to new characters
The ability to attach spells to weapons, and/or affects to worn items
which I've mostly got as snippets, and which are mostly optional from the
point of view of someone setting up a mud using such code.
