Wow. I've played carrion for almost a decade now, and until about the last 3 months when I started playing again after about a 6 month rest... I never read these threads. I always thought they were kinda stupid... and now I know why again I don't read here much. I'm not even sure why the immortals reply to half this nonsense. I mean... why not come to carrion to have fun, relax, get away from rl, enjoy yourself instead of getting all worked up and flaming. I'm sure we can all agree just in the fact that we are all playing here that we have a VERY competent imm staff. Even if one WERE to actually be cheating, I think the others would pick up on it long before we knew. Give it a rest, kick back, enjoy the game. By the way. Yeah, preps help, but they ain't everything. Trust me, as one who has almost never made a character who fights with the odds... getting the jump is what it is all about! Obvious exceptions like cabdru, of course, but even then... man, props for that guy. THAT is what cf is about. Not dumbing things down, not crying overpowered... it IS about TRYING to be overpowered. Power word kill, assassinate... One HELL of an antipaladin... this is what makes cf unique. THIS is why I love it. These are reasons we all do. Don't tone it down guys... then you end up like every other mmo out there. Dumbed down til the players hate it... when they asked for it to begin with. Keep up the good work! And thanks for years of enjoyment.
