I just wanted to mention that though I liked my character concept and felt fairly deadly most of the time, the painful lack of foes led to serious boredom and eventual deletion. Yes, the Fort had a lot of people, but the real problem to me is something that has always been there - too many neutrals. And with lower numbers it seems like the swings have a hard time recovering when suddenly there is an influx of neutrals. It keeps things stale, imho.

I understand playing neutral appeals to a lot of people. This isn't about starting crap with anyone for liking that approach. That being said, I can't help but imagine a game where all the neutrals were forced to choose good or evil. Man, I think we'd all have a lot more fun and it would lead to a much more exciting game.

I realize that's extreme and would not happen.

However, I think it might be worth taking a look into limiting neutrals. At last glance, Nexus had the most, or second-to-most members. I guess I always pictured them as a rather elite, small group (like Scion, but without the Evil(tm)).

Also, Battle, Outlander, and Tribunal all draw neutrals predominantly (I know I'm going out on a limb saying that, so feel free to correct me with some statistics).

I could drone on for a while about how I think neutrality would be the rarest of conditions, but I'll stop with a brief re-cap:

Please experiment with limiting numbers of neutral characters. Perhaps make them have less appealing gear choices, less cabal options, racial number limits, etc. Anything! Maybe just try it for a while and see how much the funstick improves. If nothing else, it might be an enlightening exercise!


Just a (not so tiny) request from an old timer. Thanks for reading.
