Well, the main reason is that there's already been a lot of words on the topic. ;)

You may want to check out this thread from the Announcements forum, for example.

I'd not seen that, but it seems to mainly address skills, and not character growth.

Character growth under the system expressed in that thread is still linear and vertical, which is not the way it works in real life and ( in my opinion at least ) not the way it should work in a sandbox game. Growth should be expressed through horizontal progression ( ability to do more things, instead of just getting better at one thing ) and under diminishing returns ( the better you get at something, the slower you get better at it ).

I agree with the idea of allowing groups of characters to be able to murder other characters with godly abilities, However I still think we should allow people to reach godly status because I would be that much more rewarding after murdering them... :lol:

No, I'm saying I kind of like the ridiculous power curve.

Or an intimate connection with something that is not his hand.
