Because people are starting to point out potential problems, instead of pointing to current problems, my suspicion is that things will be better since there's only positive Karma. If people start getting rewards for Karma, things might get more complex.

When we tried it before and things went bad, it was because negative points were activated. A number of nice people ended up getting really bad scores, so it was decided that the system was being misused. Maybe things will be different since people can only be nice to each other?

Hm, judging from the fact that Diaboli and Xacha are being cut, do you think devs have more cycles?

Wow, I didn't know this. Is there an announcement for players to read?

It seems like an exciting idea. Xacha were underused I think, since their lack of physical prowess has always been difficult to fit into the settings and mechanics. (I always like a good challenge though!) A lot of people have had fun playing Diaboli but I can see how the developers might want players taking a different direction, since their aversion to religion doesn't fit comfortably in Yliakum society. What will happen to the Ynnwn though?

Hi! Welcome back!

I started in May 2005, I've been in and out since then.

Dear cloud! Rest your load.
Sit a while. Blur memories.

I love the idea! I'm not sure if it fits with the settings though, unless the characters involved are youth from noble backgrounds or well-to-do families. I think people play games (especially roleplaying games) in part because they provide experiences that stimulate their minds relative to their daily routines. If you're working all day to train yourself in the event of the next Ulbernaut invasion, or working all day harvesting plants in the dangerous terrain outside the city walls, will you find it relaxing to play a game full of danger and battle? If danger and violence are a part of their daily routine, I think characters will find other forms of entertainment. However if the character's daily toil takes place in a library, perhaps they'll be very open to a D&D type game. Since the Octarch has decreed that everyone must be trained for battle from a young age though, I don't think there will be many characters for which a D&D style game can be considered a complete escape. Instead, you'll have to frame the game as another way to train, and as a way to prepare the mind for future situations or problems the characters may encounter.

You should totally come back! The more the merrier! 

Dad's and Stewart's! Although I've had A&W and it wasn't bad.

Of course, my Italian friends will agree that it's all about BRIO!

And Sangwa, you can get alcoholic rootbeer still. Look for drinks that advertise sarsaparilla or sassafras as the main flavour.
