[cotillion]

The pre-tutorial has now been disabled and you get a small amount of coins upon entering the game.

We might want to say that unless they pick human as a first race they will not be able to do ALOT of the big quests in the game aswell, goblin from the start will gimp you like hell since you loose a ton of qexp from Minas tirith, aleast one quest on the holm, and the knights keep, that I know of :s

On the other hand you get the best combat stats in the game instead.

Uhm, you dont have to be goblin to become an ogre, we even accept hobbits.

On the third hand, you can always change to goblin later And still, the racism within the game still makes it more or less impossible for some races to gain the same amount of the most important, and silly type of xp in the game

[Manglor]

I will agree here that the racism is pretty silly. If you're going to have NPC's coded to auto attack/deny entrance to certain races, maybe have them do a check on mortal level? If below, let's say, veteran you're OK if you're alignment is right?

Just a thought.

[Snowrose]

There probibly should be less or no penalty for changing race below wanderer or even adventuerer also there should be a place people can go to race/desc change without dying/losing skills. yeah sure we dont want people changing race/skills willy nilly you could have a limited number of changes or an increasing charge for changing in a short time span. but it can be really daunting to lose all you have spent possibly years working on(skills/Cexp) to racechange for a newbie who finds out they cant get into the guild they wanted or feel gimped questwize due to race.

[cotillion]

Well, yesterday was interesting.
We'll have to see how long this keeps up.

[Cherek]

Yeah, they keep coming today too.

Here's our population graph for yesterday.

[Snowrose]

one has to wonder what happened yesterday. also could be cool to note new names when it dpikes like that and monitor how many stay around after the spike day.
