So first, you think that if you implemented the first two suggestions from the original post (the third is really non-issue as long as the other two work), it would result in less people playing?

*To any vets reading this that don't currently have a character* If you heard that you got edge points for pk, are you really telling me that you wouldn't immediately start thinking of what kind of character you would want to roll? You wouldn't consider playing again if could have a character with a lot more edges than you can get now? Really?

*Hey new people, as few as there are* If you heard that you could roll a character and, at level 20, not get steamrolled over and over again by some vet in hero gear that has twice your HP and double or triple your hit/dam roll, would you think that learning pk was more or less of a daunting task?

I know that I could be wrong on this, but I really do not understand how gear does not drastically affect the outcome of a fight.

Second, I mean why do YOU think that the numbers are what they are? Why do people that used to gladly devote hours and hours to their characters don't anymore? Why do you think that new player retention is so low.

I don't see how it's the culture in the game because everyone that I've played with, both allies and enemies, are super helpful, classy and fun to play with. (that's just my experience)

It's not lack of Imm interactions. Again, this is my experience, but since I've been back, I have not had any problems with talking with the imms that I have been wanting to, and the interactions have all been great.

The game is larger, and with richer content that it ever has been, so I really don't know.
