364.....in dog years. Man it's a long run to The Bronze Doors for a Klyros my age........

I voted to reduce the cost of training, and I'll tell ya why.  It is too expensive. But...seriously.  I love to quest in this game. It is challenging and I feel, one of the most interesting facets.  I also want to be a 'well rounded' player and am pursuing crafting, magic, and building a legitimate charactor.  If training costs were lowered, I think that a more robust and larger player base would be the result.  Playing Planeshift, as I feel it is meant to be played, encourages me and my charactor to become multi-faceted.  By doing this, my success, both 'personal' and from a RP standpoint, is greatly enhanced.  By reducing training cost, each charactor IG and the game as a whole will be more well-rounded.  As an aside, I couldn't help but notice that 'reduce platinum' was outstripping all other categories.  I found this interesting, since every time I go to Gugrontid to mine it, the hill is packed with players.  It seems we are compelled to mine this ore.  It is the quickest way to turn tria, which enables me to pay for overpriced training....and everbody loves to mine, right?

Why can't the home page of the website have some kind of signal embedded it that indicates whether the server is "up" or "down?"
