Again i am personally having a lot of fun, and I have encountered the total opposite of what you described in your original post. I have no real complaints.

I am taking the time (last post took me an hour to write) to post these views in an argumentative stance mostly out of appreciation for the effort I've seen so far from you, the other imms and other players.

The fact of the matter is that I do understand what Daevryn is saying and for the most part I completely agree with him and with what you posted. However, at the same time I also remember the frustration that these points of view can sometimes bring. And I also know that the fear of getting trolled/griefed is not something that should be underestimate. It is something that really puts people off. I think it is important to keep those things in mind.

It is really unfortunately that even though I don't think there is any actual consistent trolling in this game that just its potential can put some people off. I know for a fact that the mudding friends i have on my aim list won't even bother with this type of game. And some of them play rp intensive games where on wrong turn can instantly permanently kill a character you've invested an entire RL year of your life in. That said, assurances aside, not sure there is really anything that can be done about this, not to mention as seen even within this thread alone there is a history of grievances.

Anyways, I'm really having fun, and would like see your marketing efforts succeed, hopefully my long winded posts gave you a bit of food for thought. But seriously, don't forget to advertise the explore areas and cool loot/rewards there, not just the pk aspects. You have some of the best written areas around as far as I'm concerned, there are a lot of people that would be attracted by that.
