Good Post Tarax, I think your points on blocking being seen as an aggressive posture is fantastic and right on the mark. If you try to stop someone from leaving a room obviously you are being aggressive towards them and combat should be initiated. On effect to specials, I think it should have an eff...

Well, I would tend to agree, Aeg. It is the shortcomings that make this game so special. So then why is it that people are constantly crying foul. I mean it is a double edged sword here. Either you want balance or you don't. With the current model there is always going to be something awry. Someone ...

[ Moderator - edited to stay on topic ] This mud is big enough for Ogres. People simply have not found the way in which to do. Ogres guild itself could use some tweaks as well, some of the infrastructure makes it very difficult to be a "new" ogre. Ogres MUST kill to improve skills. I know...

There aren't too many. Problem is that Vampires were closed and all those Vampire Characters needed something to do. Many of them are stuck without any ability to join another guild due to past issues with those guilds and as such were stuck choosing a free to join guild. Windemere [ Moderator - man...
