Yeah, your comments make sense. I know, because I'm sure most of the players (me included) have had those kind of questions and doubts at some time. I'll say this... skilled pkers can always make an immediate splash, but quality roleplayers, eventually, will always get their due. It's noticed by the populace first (a better reward), and sometimes the imms later (second best to populace noticing, in my opinion). Sometimes it takes time, but trust me, it does happen. As far as the emotion of the games goes... I can completely understand... the first time my first hero, a healer, landed a demolish... I stood up and cheered. The highs and lows are why we keep playing.

Good luck,
