The end of the Darkfriend System
A while back, we crunched down alt qps for people during a revision of the darkfriend system leaving four players with a significant reduction in alt qps with the understanding that they'd be working under a now defunct new system. I'm going to convert them to greymen not as a path but as the destin...

Darkfriends
We've spent lots of time across many iterations of the Darkfriend system to try and create something fun for players. However, no matter how we approach it, being a darkfriend is inherently antisocial. The entire system and our endeavors to improve upon it are deleterious, and we have decided to kil...

Re: Fostering an Accountable Community
I am not about to quote your post, for obvious reasons. Draz, the issue is that no matter what we've done you continue to do things that most any other player would realize they're not supposed to do. You are in a relatively powerful player position, being a knowledgeable high ranking player who oft...

Re: Retroactive punitive policies
I've tried to take a holistic approach to the game. That has meant the introduction of PvE advancement paths and an RP progression path with unique benefits. PvE progression was meant to supplement existing gameplay, not supplant it. This is an update that addresses an issue we've tried to find a so...

Re: Arbitrary Punishments
The decision isn't arbitrary. There is reasoning behind it, and that's reasoning that I am not going to make fully public, because much of what precipitated it occurred privately. This wasn't a response to a singular incident. Mephistopheles, uniques, or methods by which he was killed has nothing at...

Re: Dirks gate
I'm not sure what situation is being referenced. However, dirks are a finite resource; They had a high value, and we removed that value. To make up for that, we then allowed them to be turned in for compensation, and I had not realized that this was a time-gated compensation opportunity which is som...

Known Darkfriend Moratorium
Previously, I'd placed a moratorium on unknown darkfriends. I am now extending this known, as well. I will be working with known darkfriends to find a resolution to their status. They are encouraged to mail the staff group to check in and be advised of their options. This moratorium will end once we...
