So does this mean those things will be impelemnted on the day of the reset? Or will they be worked in over time? If the first one is right this sounds really good and I guess I will have to start playing again :-P

I'd rather see the current trees made more different, but since you're adding new trees can I get plums please ;)

Question, can you keep playing with your old character/skills
or do you have to start anew?

Oh, and how big will the new world be? Please don't cram the current playerbase into a single supergrid, because that was too small even for the playerbase we had at the previous reset.

Although my initial reaction is 'yay! mapreset', I am somewhat disappointed that you don't add some means of passive defense for claims and villages first, to reduce the griefing problem.

they are basically postponing the problem for a little while...

On other note, reading that you have a desire to make the armor - weapons race more meaningful..

Why don't you split up smithing skill in 3 different skills to put LP in; weaponsmithing, armorsmithing and metalworking?

Maybe "stealth" to "crawling", "hiding", "silence-keeping"
And "unarmed" to "arm-wrestling", "aikido", "jiu-jitsu", "woshoo"...
And maybe even "exploring" to "sight-seeing", "sight-hearing", "sight-smelling"..
Don't tangle the game plz.
do be do be do

I'm not tangling with the game, and you know that you're being absurd with your other examples. I just made a suggestion to the desire expressed by Jorb, about giving more meaning to armor vs. weapons.
If you want that, logically you'd need to seperate those skills.. Or anyone who could make the best weapons could automatically make the best armor as well.

Metalworking is just an offspring of that, for having armor/weaponsmithing raises the question of 'what skill to use for making tools?'
