And yet, you and Matt are both spending as much time arguing against it as I am arguing for it.

I've not surpressed any opinions, Stormknife.

If I can make a suggestion, perhaps we should let a DM chime in, and the rest of us go get a soda to calm down for say.. the next few days? I'm outta this conversation until people calm down and throwing baseless comments around.

My apologies, I wasn't being intentionally insensitive to the working world. I'm also at work. AND due to issues with my computer, it's been almost impossible for me to get on the server. Just like anyone else who (either due to work or server being full, or any other reason) can't get get in the game, I get my vicarious fix of Dasaria and its people here on the forums. Just like anyone else, if I could be at home playing the game, you bet I would.

Real complaints and bugs I have no problem with. Talk about quests that are impossible to complete, no worries. Two people have a dispute that is IC? Please bring on the roleplayed drama. Something like this? If you can log in to the server in the first place, you can have enough money for gear in less than 10 minutes.

End of story.

Apoligies if anything I have said seemed unfair. I simply wish players to grow stronger rather than ask for the campaign to be easier.

I was given my first weapon. I rp'd it that way and although I asked for just a dagger I was given a spear. I was ready to follow the other character in to fight goblins without any weapon deciding that I would do my best to stay out of a fight until I could scavange up a weapon. Yes my character might have died doing so but most people (and characters) are more than willing to give away a simple weapon to another character if they are willing to help them in one way or another.

Babbling. sorry.

the new people that we have encountered and read about on the boards seem to like the current situation. rogues seem to be farming the new players/characters for gold, ect. which may be rude and illegal by the city laws but there are laws of the land to deal with that. i personally feel that if a newbie kit comes to be in place there would be rogue newbie farmers hanging out at the locations of the starting quests.

the wizard thing, wizards starting out with some spells to draw from, would seem readily justified with the fact that the city has a wizard university. i may be mistaken, and forgive my ignorance if this is the case, but the unversity is still operational and any intelligent wizard regardless of level would seek out such a place as a native or a foreigner.

I like things the way they are. It might be nice to have a couple heal pots to begin with, but it's not that hard to get one or two after doing the beginning quests. And has for having thousands of gold......um...not yet and not anytime in the forseeable future.
