The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and poorly enforced.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.... Dun dun |

In vives the progression in the form of more influence in the world, more friends and allies are more important and make you more powerful then just gaining levels, and you only gain that through role playing. - But still what BS... cause I know it gets boring wearing the same armour and never getting ... |

I don't think its a bad thing that dire bats attack, too many creatures just stand there all 'blue' and neutral, waiting for a PC to walk up and smack them with a critical, more things should stick up for themselves. Be honest, if you were in their cave you where likely going to kill them right? Thats not really how I play - but I know theres a lot of you who just reek havoc as you go killing everything that moves |

I Agree with Rosen, if its on your character it should be on your character - And I think they look good - better then the original cloaks. You can change their look, into all sorts of pretty colours if you want and it gives the people who want to wear them more options. Already people change what they're wearing when going into town/heading into a dungeon so just add or remove your cloak to, yeah quickslot if you want. And yeah the only problem is it over lapping on the old cloaks, if only ... |

I'm not saying one is right or wrong, but it's a choice that many have to make. I think giving more choices over the long run is better for the game and for the server.

Concider that to be invisible, there are several "real world" examples. Black holes, for example. Invisible in the sense that we cannot see them directly, only infer that they are present by detecting their "waste" signature, i.e. gamma rays.

I'd like to add one that I feel is the reason most of the others break down. 'Know when to lead and when to follow'. To many times people do not know when to follow and listen to one leader. Too many parties have 3 people acting as the leader some of the time, then not listening to stategies or trying to do everything themselves, ending up in getting the whole party into trouble. Sometimes you are the leader and make the hard decisions and make mistakes getting people killed, but too often ... |
