Ugh first of all, sorry about being slow to answer, but work prohibits CF connection.

I did read, and the general feel was in between line blame and anger. The playerbase has dropped. I am pretty sure of that, just see how many is online at any given time. I do think this will change within the next 6 months. And I just can't say I have a prob with all the new zones and so on. Its hardly many ranking zones that comes in, but its some cool new zones to explore and get away from copyrights and so on.

Your idea about the armour spell is cool but today ac at pre 20 can mean way more than 20% miss. I just hope the imms are soaking up ideas for what is going to happen... I really look forward seeing what happens to the current AC system in the end.

Oh and don't worry I won't flame I kinda hate to do it myself, allways regrets it when I do... I've seen way to many threads being destroyed and overlooked by imms because of flaming wars.
