I enjoy PS just as much as the next guy, and I must commend the devs for their excellent job, but the problem is, I can't see the excellent job they've done! My screen seizures between several different images; I took 3 screenshots:

Edit: ...And the previous version worked fine, graphics wise.

RP fights can be far more descriptive, and thus entertaining, than duels. As long as your opponent is mature enough to understand they can lose, RP fights are the best things about RPing, and since RPing is the best part of PS...

Talad fixed this problem this morning - hopefully it stays clean

hmm... it's not fixed on mine. Unless google hasn't refreshed their database yet.

I'm not sure where you've been, but I'm in need of PP; I have excess money (not much but some). Try mining?

There is no real IC way of explaining how you can train without a trainer. ...who taught you?

Currently I must now return to a trainer to get more theoretical knowledge.

Count one that one, without players being forced to return to the trainer PowerLeveling would be much easier. This game is about Roleplaying.

That would take a lot less change to the database and code.

Unless you are a programmer (and if you are, my appologies), what do you know of what would take less code or not?

Either way, I do not want the devs working too hard on trying to balance training, economy, or anything really. If they do, the next time they finish a new job/skill, they will have to rebalance the whole system again. To Do List: 1) Finish Content ...then... 2) Rebalance system

How can we have holidays in PS share the same date as in reality when time doesn't flow equally fast in both places? A planeshift year will last something around a month, if I'm not mistaken?

Unless time in PS and time in RL have the same speed, it wouldn't work to let holidays happen on the same day. This also means that we can't pick a RL date to have our IG holiday on though...

The current RL to PS time ratio is 1/6 I believe. If you wanted to have a holiday every RL year (as that would be less confusing than having one every 2 months), the answer is simple: hold the holiday every 6 PS years, lasting for at least a PS week, which would be more comfortable for the players. This kind of thing isn't unheard of; the ancient Hebrews had festivals lasting for at least a month (I think) every 7 years.

As a relatively new player I never found RP awkward or strange. In fact, the main reason I was drawn to this game was the RP aspect. At the time it was a completely new concept to me and that's what made me choose this game over the thousands of other 'free' games that are out there.

I, like Zan, find that playing a char completely different from myself is what makes it really exciting. If a char is similar to the player, it may be hard to draw the line between RP and RL. We are all actors in a massive online improv act, and sometimes just as funny as an improv act.

We need to attract people on the basis that this is a mmoRPg, not a MMORPG; which, I think, the team has done a fairly good job of doing already. Then, the newbies will easily fit in, as the RP is what they came for.

That's my 42 cents (even though some of those cents have been stated before)

I agree, /sleep would be very useful. Not only for RPing corpses, but in other cases too. Let's say someone pushes me down and I fall, hit my head and become unconsious. I'd rather use /sleep than /sit, because the /sit animation looks too "relaxed" to appear unconcious, especially for my Ylian. /sleep could be the same animation as /die, though a /wake animation would have to be added. Anyway, that's my 4.2 cents.

Another letter up, hopefully I'll soon get my memories back, then the real drama begins.

Also note that in this letter Arcov's talking as if this is the first time he's died, it's actually his second, he just doesn't remember the first.

Suno: /me scratches his head "A mention? Where? Who? What?"
