This is what I dislike about EL 'who says it has to be like other mmorpgs' that's such a petty narrow minded view - change for it's own sake is pointless, why do something 'just to be different'? I'd love to hear your reasoning behind the seemingly arbitrary decisions made for EL. Arguing that it would swing the balance in favour of fighters is nonsense, as proved by other mmorpgs.

Why does it? If you're rich you hire guards, if you're not rich you watch your back. Almost every major MMORPG has this feature successfully implimented and still manages to keep it's non-fighter population at a reasonable level. There are more than enough fiendly fighters on EL who I'm sure would be happy to go along with your average merchant or miner, out of pure friendliness and a sense of adventure.

I know you've heard it all before, but I really think you should put PK on every map :battleaxe: It won't be fair? Life isn't fair. The wilderness is called that for a reason - it's wild. People might have to think about hiring guards if they're going to dangerous places. The result - a whole new economy springs up and gives the warrior guilds a reason for existence - guard duty and acting as mercenaries. Make towns safe, if you must, though simply having NPC guards of middling ability and levels would be better. Change the death bags - when someone's killed they drop whatever was in their bag but keep all of their equipment. This way banditry can become a reasonably profitable pursuit without seriosuly impacing the victims ability to play the game. I know what the result will be - people will whinge that Shivar and his mates are waiting outside town and killing everyone who leaves. This state of affairs will continue for a few hours or a couple of days at the very most until some guys get their acts together and give him a kicking, thus, balance is restored. Get rid of Hell - it's annoying and serves no purpose. Have players respawn in the temple of their chosen god, with a new effect - once you've been killed you can't engage in combat with other players for a set amount of time - they can't attack you and you can't attack them. This makes picking a fight a much more considered decision, since losing can spoil your fun for a while. That's all that's coming to mind. This is more a stream of consciousnes than a well thought out set of proposals. Make of them what you will. As a final note - I'm not a high level fighter, I can barely defeat your average Goblin and regualrly get eaten by Pumas, I would probably get robbed and murdered semi-regularly, but it would certainly make life in EL more interesting.

Part of me wants to sign up but with an average of about 15 players online... what's the point? It's a pathetic number. Can their server handle any more than that? I'd rather play EL - there's hardly any RPing, but at least there's life.

Count me in chaps... Time to make my new dark elf character to take over the world..

I'm 21, so perhaps buying one won't endear me to any ladies...

Yet more trouble, a man has been shot five times by police whilst apparently tyring to blow up a train, and armed police have gone into a mosque, not sure where. This is getting rather exciting.

This guy is a well known professional troll, don't read too much into it, it's a very elaborate hoax, I've seen him on rock music forums, game forums - pretty much everywhere actually. He's not really a conspiracy theorist nut. Juts very good at winding people up.

More explosions on the underground today apparently, police all over the place, nobody's really sure what's going on, Tony Blair supposed to be making a statement in a little while. It looks like a minor incident, might be nothing.

That was a quote from the Cannon Fodder game. You read toomuch into it.

War. What's it good for, eh? This product is in no way endorsed by the Royal British Legion.

Urgh... my guilty Harry potter fetish, yeah I have it, finished it a few hours after getting it home. It's much more character-centric now, not so much pointless backstory and little meaningless conversations, which i miss, they fleshed the books out nicely. I'm reserving judgement on my opinion of the new dark tone the series appears to have taken, on the one hand this book is certainly not meant for children, but at the end of the book there was no let-up in the depression. At least with all the previous books at the end you always felt that the immediate threat was dealt with and the book could end semi-hapily, not so here, for obvious reasons. I'm certainly eager for the next one.
