Just at a stage of annoyance is all, I really wanted to go to ST with Corzu... and I've had a few characters that couldn't. Just seems like the recent Imms I've chosen to follow don't hand out the immexp lately. It's a crap shoot, I don't think Corzu was any less of a RP effort than any other character I've done (if anything he was more so). I don't think I suggested for Daev to get bent, but I'm guessing your statement is worded to mean coming from everyone else on changing his area requirement. Other things, like the recent change for mobs to redirect abilities basically ruining several aspects of exploring for NO reason have just put a hamper on interest. (Seriously, did anyone consider the effect that'd have on places like ST and the Inferno? It made several fights basically impossible. Why was this change even implemented at all? Realism? The whole point of a tank... is to be a tank!)

Also, you keep saying "a good number of characters meet the requirement" - but it doesn't matter if your enemies have access. If I wanted to take some newbies from the Fortress, none of them have access. The only times I've ever been able to get into ST with others, it involved the Empire because generally better players (who generally, but not always, have more immexp) are part of the council. The same could be said about Scion. I think Xeneth couldn't even get a solid Imperial group to go this time and that's about the perfect storm conditions of players to do so. Archmages take groups of people who are friendly, capable, and knowledgeable enough to get into ST and meet the requirements to kill an Archmage so you're not banned for life (which is a very considerable amount of work and time)... which is basically not going to happen. I spent a good part of Soviatos' life trying to get stuff done in there and at most I had 2 players who could get in... and I spent half of my time discussing things with an enemy Scion. I'd be interested to hear of how many times 4 people were in ST at the same time... I'm guessing never. If the requirement to get in was lowered, people might actually learn how to do things so an Archmage kill could actually be attempted.

I've done Herald before, I can RP it out without being a pker... but I am generally an evil-aligned player for a lot of reasons (Inferno trips require you to be evil after X number of tries, there is better gear, generally more skilled players play on Team Evil, more fun RP for me, etc). With how much of a deadzone the Inn has been lately, not sure I could do that... it'd be like being a tribunal in Seantryn I thought of giving Tribunal a try since you seem present but I heard that they've been nerfed pretty heavily, even if they're at war right now. Maybe I'll get the itch but nothing is grabbing me at the moment.
