+# GOALS
+
+### Architecture
+- [x] Upgrade Server/Scripts compiler to use Roslyn/C# 7
+- [ ] Upgrade the code to use C# 7 standards
+
+### Administration
+- [ ] Move IP logging and account data to SQL
+- [ ] Move account management to web
+
+### Serialization & World Saves
+- [ ] Remove Serialization/Deserialization entirely
+- [ ] Create a flag to indicate when objects will be serialized.
+  * Players, all items held by players, houses, etc.
+- [ ] Create transactions which handle changes to objects including:
+  * Transitioning from not serialized to serialized (created)
+  * Transitioning from serialized to not serialized (deleted)
+  * Property value changes
+- [ ] Asynchronously offload the transaction to another service for permanent serialization
+  * Support basic KVP databases such as MongoDB, RocksDB, and Redis
+- [ ] Create asynchronous request from cold storage
+    * External system must provide objects and their nested objects (e.g. containers)
+
+### Optimizations for large shards
+- [ ] Eject inactive players and their items after they are serialized to cold storage
+- [ ] Create hydration techniques for non-persisted systems (e.g. spawners, decorations, static, champions, etc)
+- [ ] Create object pools for high availability items such as gold and reagents
+- [ ] Replace timer system with a [wheel](https://github.com/runuo/runuo/pull/42) implementation
+- [X] Create `DefaultName` for mobiles and use it for all items
+- [ ] Improve asynchronous socket handling
+
+### Bugs & Misc
+- [ ] Naked corpses (container display issue)
+- [X] Rounding errors with new bank system
+- [ ] Replace `double` with `int` for skills to fix rounding errors and optimize code
+- [ ] Replace specific checks for `Item`/`Mobile` by extended `IEntity` and mainstreaming the `NEWPARENT` code
+- [ ] TryDropItem dropping items until it fails when it should be all-or-nothing
+- [ ] Consuming items are deleted directly in several places instead of using `Item.Consume()`
+- [ ] Content displaying for newer clients is not working properly in several situations
+- [ ] Stack/Hold checks are broken in certain situations
