<t>Petros said it pretty well, Ilrahil. I'm not playing at anything. I gave a<br/> very businesslike and informational response to Otalkum's questions. The idea<br/> that certain guilds have weaknesses and limitations to balance out their<br/> strengths is a core aspect of our design goals, and shou...

<r>Friends of the Donut,<br/> <br/> The Genesis Census has been expanded so that the hourly snapshot not only<br/> counts the total players online, but also records which guilds they<br/> are in. Henceforth, as time passes and more data is collected, we will be<br/> able to analyze the activity leve...

<t>Donut Dwellers,<br/> <br/> As the donut has floated in the Void throughout the eons, various strange<br/> realities have come to take shape on its many surfaces. Among the most<br/> curious are the various cycles of day and night which are completely<br/> different from one another as one travels...

<t>Esteemed Community Members,<br/> <br/> Since first becoming a member of the Admin as AoP, I have held to the<br/> notion that pvp is a matter that can and should be handled entirely by<br/> the players. After all, it is your game to enjoy how you wish, and if<br/> the game allows it, then so do I...

<r>Genesissians,<br/> <br/> Though never formally announced, through various events and word of mouth<br/> the community has for the most part come to know of the restructuring of<br/> the Mercenary Guild in their new guildhall south of Sparkle. While more of<br/> a total rebuild from scratch, the r...

Fellow Genesis Enthusiasts, It has become customary about this time of the year for me to offer an analysis of progress in the game - a State of the Donut Address, as it were. We'll begin by looking at graphs and tables that track the playerbase, followed by an analysis of these data. Then, I'll wr...

<t>Esteemed Fellow Genesis Enthusiasts,<br/> <br/> One of the design goals that I have for this game is to make PvP possible<br/> in a realistic way. A big part of what has prevented most players from<br/> wanting to engage fully in PvP combat is the stiff death penalty and the<br/> very difficult t...

<t>Denizens!<br/> <br/> As is probably obvious by my continued scrolling of this board, the botting<br/> issue has given the Administration cause for much discussion, consideration,<br/> and action as we have wrestled with how to deal with the problem.<br/> <br/> In response to many mails requesting...

<r>Fellow players,<br/> <br/> The count of bots that have been identified and punished has risen to three.<br/> The most recent case is one that I feel must be discussed a bit, for it is<br/> a bird of a different feather - the so-called idle-bot.<br/> <br/> An idle-bot is someone who has timed trig...

<t>Genesis Community,<br/> <br/> Today, I put to death a character who proved to be a bot. The character was<br/> near-myth in size, though it is presumed that much of that size was gained<br/> through the very botting behavior that lead to the death. Thus, it is also<br/> assumed that the loss incu...
