You know... if we came up with a simple script that would catalog different item/creature TYPES, and a way of sharing it to a common database... we could all run it for like one hour a week. Then after a few weeks we would have a more comprehensible listing then EUO has.
We could have a SUO Item Find Weekend. Make a char on a shard you normally don't play, and name them SUOGeekSquad or something, then run that char all over the place gathering item TYPE data. Of course you'd be a ghost for most of it, but having a bunch of us doing this would compile a great deal of data.
Sorted in a database, duplicates could be quickly eliminated, and if the right format was used in gathering we'd have very good descriptions of items and their item TYPE.
