Well, in that case, the description could not have been more misleading. And if this really is the intent, then it is
overdue to alter it. But again I say that if you can\'t even glide from the tower to the plaza, then the disadvantage of no heavy armor and general fragility is
completely unjustified. :tdown:

As for buildings being the highest point, then I honestly thought that with your nitpicking you would\'ve said that from Level One to Level Eight was the highest fall possible. But clearly, buildings are taller than that. 
If you count quoting the IMO clear but
obviously intentionally misleading statements from the main page as \"nitpicking\", then whatever. :rolleyes:
As for the fall from level 1 to level 6/7 (as the two lower levels are (7 mostly) submerged): if you cannot even glide down the tower, then surely not down the levels, but alright, I didn\'t think of that, though this will be done
far less often anyway since you don\'t travel down levels very often, if at all, especially if you can only go down that way, and have to walk up like everyone else, as gliding implies.

Edit: Just for the record - No, I\'m not saying Klyros\' can glide that far a distance. They most likely won\'t even be able to glide from the top of the tower to the plaza. Their wings simply can\'t support that much weight for such a long time.
Even worse and, as I said, it would not even come close to outweighing the disadvantages, unless these also are just misleading and in fact nonexistant!
And if you\'re going to argue that way: the wings of the
pterosaurs that will be there, if this is not also just a false interpretation of IMO clear text, will be far too weak for them, too, especially considering that these are supposed to be used to
carry great loads / fly great distances routinely!
So
either everyone\'s wings are too weak, and there is
no meaningful flight whatsoever for anything larger than a big bird, as would be realistic considering RL,
or the wingsize will suffice for everyone, if pterosaurs can do it, then why not Klyros? Just because they\'re a playable race and noone has been able to find a balance, even though it\'s not even implemented / tested yet?
AFAICS, nobody has found a balance of mining vs. fighting as well, so...
Seriously, if it in fact, as you say, never was the intent, then the person who wrote the main page and descriptions obviously didn\'t have a clue about what PS was supposed to be(come), and also noone of the devs (who should know what the intent is, no?) ever even looked at the page so it went unnoticed for years, even when it was overhauled for CB?
If this is the case, there is a major problem and it\'s surprising that the code changes actually end up in the correct CVS tree and that PS doesn\'t really become an FPS...
So I guess we who are depending on the sparse and wrong information from the main site will be in for a number of other unpleasant surprises in the future. Maybe Kran are the ones most able in magic? Or Enkis are subterranean? :rolleyes:
I know that the main site isn\'t too well-kept and recent, but I didn\'t know that it is talking about another MMORPG, not about PS.
