I have been thinkiing about why I am no longer up for playing. I think its because I have everything I need. pvp on the shard isn't fun because of the above mentioned reasons so whats the point. I would gladly vote yes for you to wipe the entire shard and start brand new with a new map ( if I know you you got one either ready or in the works hehe) containing 3-4 towns that are evenly spread out and no moongates at all. Also make skill gain excrutiatingly hard I mean like it takes weeks or months to gm a weapon skill and no longer allow us to unattend. ( I think you know how hard it is for me to say no macroing lol ) I think we should have to put in long time to accomplish something. I dont think everyone should have a GM blacksmith and if it takes months to make one then not everyone would. I think there should be 1-3 char slots only with my vote going on 2 slots and one account per IP. When you do that wipe maybe you could even add in vet rewards to be started after the wipe. instead of the osi factions have race factions like the 4 being orc, drow, elf, human and once you join one it is permanent and irreversible and only way out is to delete char and start over on the couple month process of making a char. give a person an extra 10 or 15 stat points to their cap for making the committment to perma factions. I can come up with all kinds of shit like that that I would enjoy, but I don't realistically expect you to do it or for many other people to agree with me. To me I would think it would be so much more rewarding to GM swords after 2 months of hard work. Imagine how much more you would enjoy your char if that were the case and you could only gain like 2-3 stat points a day. It would suck for those fly by night players and juvenile delinquents who just want insta GM's and to Roxxor people but fuck them. I have a job with long hours and a family. I used to think that I like macroing because I didn't have time to skill gain and I just wanted to play a good char when i got online but now I realize how wrong I was. I'll play a shitty char and put my time in and try ot get something worth having if others will. If it takes a month to do a wep skill then magery is like 1.5 months and taming 2 months. Ok, rant is done people flame away, but remember I am not insulting most of you and Majere can vouch that I would be giving a lot in the way of skills and wealth if not the most on the shard but I would gladly do it to make this a better community. I read where other shards have been around for years and have a tight knit feel and this would be a way for us to accomplish it. Are you ready?
