Apologies for posting one under another. I've been scribing this answer in a separate file, and it got a bit out of hand. I think that it also concludes my typed characters pool for 2021. Stats are always interesting. Context is important though. So why do people think the top five guilds are so act...

The members are excellent at idling. Which those stats don't take into account. So guilds where characters are only awake when being actively played are of course seen as much less active than those where members are logged in 24/7. While people idling for the better portion of the day will obvious...

You clearly speak from a totally unenlightened point of view when talking about PoT. Their leadership has to my knowledge not been inactive for the last decade, and the guild is far from lacking members. Also your take on Rangers. Another view without knowledge. Really? I have always been a fan of ...

While I understand the devil's advocate position and arguing against better judgement, some of the guilds really don't bring much to the game and basically occupy the same space, diluting playerbase and making it difficult to pursue numerous paths for returning chracters / new players. As a person w...

<r><CODE><s>[code]</s>Have you ever wondered why your local community never appreciates your carefully arranged, sacrificial rituals? They pass on the inivitations every time you kidnap a virgin? Their chants seem to lack fervour and dedication, almost like they did it for ther fear rather than joy ...

Would it be possible to remove the penalty to casting spells with shields when out of combat? I understand the intention and reasoning behind the change, but I guess it shouldn't give any meaningful benefit if the rule only applies when actual fighting is going on? I must admit, I struggle a lot con...

[...] There's some negative side effects though. For example players who did spend a lot of time to get an edge in brutality suddenly lose it and become more brutal (and will likely not be happy), and new players will struggle to grow as big as old players since they will suffer from more brutality...

For once, I'm really not convinced about actual value the quests bring to the game. All players do almost all quests from cheat sheets. It's no wonder wizards don't want to code new ones. It takes a lot of effort which will not be appreciated. People will just rush through it as soon as the solution...

Every year I fall for this...
