Hell, I am not even playing anymore. I keep in touch with a group of Cf players, and this is all I hear about. Obviously the Imms like this new system. WHat about the playerbase. Lets see a vote of every active player.
-With a small loyal playerbase of <30, why is the game evolving this way. Make wands easier to obtain. Give non-mages some perks to balance it out. (Maybe warriors can do quests to add to their constitution/hp's to balance it out. Assassins get improved martial trances as they develope or train under masters in hidden locations, ect) The game needs to be a game.....not a full time work camp.
As an aside....
-it pisses me off that I can't play this game any more on a casual basis. I have an hour or so per week (tops), and I'd love to have something casual to play. You can't gather preps, wands, or do much of anything. I tried and I find it just doesnt work...ranking with a group is impractical when you have to leave after a pass. Hard to roleplay anything when the people you interact with don't see you again for 2 weeks and even then can't remember your last interaction.
I miss the 5-6 hour days.....
