Look, I have not played since September, and before that I didn't play since February, so 1a has obviously changed since I played, however the same "problems" occur today that occured when I played.
1)
The Kill List- I don't know if it's a bad idea, of course when I played I was the highest lvl druid, had the best equip, and was good at training in large areas (i.e) dessert and even wasting zeum keys to train on different floors of the zeum just to give myself a buffer zone from my enemies. It's obvious that the game has expanded it's horizons, Blue Dragon was not even attempted when I played NM on 1a anyways, so congrats on the continued progression. I never understood the complaint over the kill list, I always thought it was a point of pride to have a very diverse kill list, I mean from a role playing standpoint, the monsters your character slays expands his/her legend in a way. But even if it's used against you, because you inhabit the same training areas, then that's a personal decision, sometimes you have to sacrifice killing horrible monsters for peace of mind. I once again am bias because I always had 118 ac minimum and memphis was sexy equipped so i'd be fine. My only advice to people who are having problem training is look at the better characters in your class, study where they trained, and don't go there.....HAHAHAHA. I am joking, just learn the habits of your enemies, and realize if Walt killed you in lets say Faravar, he will look for you there again. The kill list is not a big deal, get better at the game kids.
2)
Staff Abuse-However staff have always watched over players to check progress as players. Emma, Elf, and Gaddy would randomly talk to me when I was out training, sure they have an "advantage" but I don't think it was ever abused. I haven't played obviously since new staff have been added, and I can understand the tempting ways in which to spy and such. But imo, information gathered would be for personal use. I know stuff looks so obvious, like the seal usage and even being pk'd after teleportation, but i've never had a staff member do anything but ban me, lie about me, and love me. I never had one try and cheat me, so my inexperienced mind will give "Paradox" the benefit of the doubt. Trust me, they really do run around just looking for people, and the amount of time they waste doing that is time your out making gold and exp. Train a little bit smarter, a little bit more covertly, and you will be fine.
P.S.- I also had staff take my ED that I found on the floor away
*winks* Manda *winks*
Once again NM congrats on your continued progress, and people say this a lot but I don't think they mean it, "IT"S JUST A GAME", you just got to do what you can to make it fun, and blame yourself if you don't like the game anymore. Everyone plays differently, make sure your way is the most satisfying.
Why SO SERIOUS !?
