a lot of people don't care that their character will eventually die. i don't. what i care about is trolls. people get their mains to set up a nice, working economy, then they spawn troll alts and give them everything they need to be a good troll, then they kill people who can't do shit about it. Even people who play warriors can't stop them because the warrior is a job, not a lifestyle like trolling. Fix the imbalance like chak is talking about, fix the combat system, and make having god-like stats impossible, then the game will be so much better. still not perfect, but hey, our world isn't perfect either.

agree that the killing cos im bored is bad.
and also dont like the fact that guy walking around naked with str 90000 beats the guys fully armoured with sword but less stats...
i want clothing & armour to be much more important then stats...

You're a dumbass. This is totally against the spirit of the game. It should be entirely possible to do this. Yet, it shouldn't mean so goddamn much to do so. It should cost more and be less valuable to have such a development level.

That is all and aside from having diversity of combat development.l

I think people quit because they're bored with the game, quite simply. Yes, the game could improve a lot in many aspects, but I don't think that is enough of a reason for anyone to quit. If you've been playing for more than a week, for example, the game is definitely better now than it was when you first began playing.

And that doesn't bother me! People are bound to loose interest after a while. Feel free to. I loose interest in Haven from time to time. (Though, admittedly, rarely for very long, in my own case ;) )

@OP: your comics are nice but you have absolutely no obligation to continue them so im not sure why an explanation thread is really necessary

How is it dumb? Its not reasonable to have stats that reach to infinity imo, because it demoralizes noobs and lets players grief with no effort whatsoever.
Im with Flame on this one because I am also failing to see a future in this game if thats the path the devs want to take.

Let me be the social Darwinist here and say that I believe that thieves, griefers, looters, scoundrels, murderers and robbers exist for evolutionary reasons. These niches are profitable and meaningful modes of survival, not just to the thief, but to the society as a whole. The perceived parasite, in fact, exists in symbiosis. A great deal of human ingenuity takes place in the form of competition, and thieves have their part to play in that. If you look at classic mythology, for example, there is almost always in traditional conception of an original thief. Not evil incarnate, as the semitic religions would have you believe, but rather fulfilling his place and destiny in the world through these actions. The actions, in themselves, not necessarily being morally wrong along a dualistic scale. Loki, would be an obvious case in point, but let us also not forget the archetypal images of the noble outlaw: Robbin Hood, etc. In western culture, at least, the thief is not seldom depicted as a heroic character: the underdog in defiance of powers greater than himself.

What I strive for is not to give this aspect of human existence more than its equal share. I, quite simply, strive for balance and equilibrium. Sustainable dickery, if you will.

That being said, crime is becoming a bit of a problem.

thank you :lol: but chak is entitled to his opinion, and if he thinks i am a dumbass for supporting one of his points in a slightly different way than him, that is his problem.
