3) Riders of Twilight had it's charter yanked after a kangaroo court with Lloth and Mystra, so one side of the competition equation all quit or were forced to leave the game. Notice how all of the above has fuckall to do with Everquest, etc. Hey Ruhr, good to see you again. I agree with most of wha...

This vaunted spirit of unbridled competition also leads to things like rampant, sneering elitism and vast dramas that cross over into personal lives and force mud shutdowns. See the rest of this thread for examples of both :P I will concede that a measure of competition is healthy for a game, espec...

Allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment. Casters want a piece of the action also, as evidenced by the new druid/shaman offensive spell capabilities. In light of this, entirely removing the invoker class would signify a retreat from what passes for conventional wisdom these days in the Sojourn...
