i have a suggestion for the devs.  in a post i read oh so long ago, a dev commented that a particular player had been playing for a week, and spent, on average, something like 10 hours a day on planeshift.  i believe the dev said something like \"some commitment!\"

anyway, this implies that the devs have some way of logging how long characters have been actively played.  not how long since they\'ve been created, but how much time a player has actually spent in the world.

i suggest that this could be used when migrating players to give them a bonus.  characters that have been played longer would start with PP\'s and/or trias to give them a little kick start.  not a whole lot, but just something to get them on their feet.

just a suggestion, and of course, it may be impossible.

what are you doing in your attempts to loot the rats?  this may show where you are going wrong.

Its kinda easy to make money on this game...a little too easy in some areas. I think prices of things should rise.

too easy?  where?  how?

from my perspective, having only been playing the game for a week or so, i have two comments:

1) as a brand new character it might be nice to have a ~little~ money to start off with.  perhaps 100 tria.  so that you can either buy a pick, or have a good start towards your first weapon.  that first stage of punching rats gets a tad tedious when you have a good chance of dying.

2) i would like to see more financial rewards generally available from killing monsters and doing quests.  so far the only monsters i have managed to kill at loot are rats.  gobbles, rogues and clickers don\'t seem to have any.  since i need money at the moment i am killing rats rather than exploring.  i\'d like to be able to do both.  the only quest i have managed to complete is the easy \"fetch the holy script\" quest, and got no money for it.  can\'t find many others, but i hope they give you a reward after completing them, otherwise at this stage i am still stuck killing rats.

my thought on advising and all that.  i am new and needed a question answered, can\'t remember exactly what it was, but the conversation was like this:

Me: How do I do X?
Advisor: You just need to do Y.
Me: Ah, thanks!

i thought it was nice to say thank you.  unfortunately the advisor did not reply to my thank you, which seemed to effectively leave an open question.  this meant that later, when i had another question to ask, i couldn\'t because i still had an unanswered question.

any thoughts on how to solve this?  auto-time-out on questions possibly?

ah, i too am trying to access the game for the first time.  any indication as to how long \"a little while\" will be?

cheers.
