Surely if you are interested in a skill, or have a vocation for it then what you earn for it is purely down to luck (considering what job you go for), so if someone is out for money, then they don't go for a low income skill, they spend their time progressing in something more lucrative, both ways, there is no slave labour and nobody is being forced to do anything, if someone is greedy, then they are greedy, what does it matter?
Isn't it more interesting that these divisions that have arrisen in the game in some way mimic how people see each other in society? someone has already made the medic comparrison I notice.

Well this will be my second dumbo post then, and to just ice the cake as it were, I couldn't find the stickies until you just put that link up there.

Being new to this I'd like to apologise, if this topic is already covered or in the wrong place. but this bug is really frustrating.

When I attack creatures (rats and other rubbish things that I can deal with) I don't take any damage, and in the system dialogue box (is that right?) where it displays my damage, the rat won't do anything.

Sometimes my endurance will shoot down as if I were taking damage to that, and sometimes my will power (the grey thing) will go down instead is if I am taking damage to that, though it will rejuvinate very quickly after combat.

None of this happened with the first character that I tried out, I took damage in combat, and also for some reason the grey bar would also fall (presumably in lieu of endurance?) but all new characters I have tried seem not to get attacked, in fact I think this may be the problem,

with my first character I was actually attacked by a bandit and died, none of my other characters have ever been confronted even in close proximity, so I guess that the creatures fail to recognise me as something to react to.

I love this game, please keep up the great work! plus the people on it are fantastic, I was so surprised to find an online game where people did actually role play.
