> You're rebutting my post as if I replied to you. I didn't. I agreed with most of your points, I simply disagreed with Soren's. I also think mazes are rare enough that this is a semi-non-issue. Most of the time, I see mazes as put in front of somewhere that is dangerous or bad to go to, or where trips to should be pretty rare. Thar Acacia, for instance, isn't meant to be visited all the time. The mobs on the way aren't going to stop people from going there, because anytime you have mobs in the way, people can/will just flee past. If you have a maze, trying to flee past might get you in a room with 20 ugly mobs. > I wouldn't mind seeing the arborian graveyard de-randomized, as that is one of the biggest problems for a lichbie is the tedium of getting to the EEC. But then I get slept and pwked by some lichbie and I think "fuck'm, let them walk through a maze." Maybe I'm just bitter ;) > As for most of your points, Arcane, while I don't disagree, I also don't agree, because I just don't care enough either way. That's why I replied to Soren's post and not yours. My main thing was that he said that the virgin forest was a waste of time, and it isn't. It's actually rather quick, if you're a criminal, or avoiding the centurion trap, or what have you.
