Yes, it's everyone's favorite [s]elephant[/s] mammoth in the room: lack of new Wizards.

There is some old documentation, both in-game and on the website/forums, that kind of sort of gives an idea of how one becomes a Wizard. There have also been rumours about certain players applying to be new ...

Resilience, huh?... I honestly don't know if I want the game to move in the direction of more player vs. player combat. While it would give another "thing to do", the biggest issue is that current balance of the game is not at all centered around player vs. player. Events like gladiator are messy ...

This post will probably mis-state some facts and offend some people, so feel free to rip me a new one in response.

I have been pretty happy to code an area and have the motivation to get it through process into the game - when there was an area creation contest.

The problem is that I've only been ...

Don't forget to add the shiny new Leadership Plaque to the records room in adventurer's guild. These sorts of things must be documented and available to check the competition at all times!

Uh...the page doesn't exist anymore. I don't suppose someone had a backup copy saved anywhere? :C

There is a certain line where soloing starts to lose its exp appeal compared to a party, though this probably depends a lot on guilds...even with a pretty modest rate, party is such a more fun, safe, and easy way to exp compared to hours or days of solo sniping. But I think the biggest problem is ...

Still need money to pay for training though. Free loans for conversion?!

Mage already gets free traps. Shooting across rooms should never be implemented, too powerful and I can think of plenty of abuses.

Surnames looks like interesting alternative to grinding for a secondary or starting whole new character if you don't like your name anymore.

Mobs don't aggro, so I was perfectly safe. Sadly, Coloth was unharmed. -.-

I'd also like to note another problem: you can pick up the lightning special with "get all" and move it to another room! Major hax!

You draw a long line in the air and release a magical arrow!
An arrow of lightning and magic hits Porcupine directly in its backtorso.
Porcupine gets STUNNED from massive pain.
The flowing magical energy of the spell forms a sphere of lightning on the sky,
above the Porcupine.
The lightning on the ...
