Re: What height do you prefer to pick for your characters?
Average, because I am lazy. I have more than enough other stuff to do when making a character, and I prefer average in most things while I figure out what I'm doing with them.

Re: Summon Adjustments
I have to ask 'Why'? The stated reason, that it makes PvE content too easy, doesn't really make sense - as many others have stated. Other classes have long been able to solo everything for years. Unless the devs make monsters that are literally unfair/impossible, this will always be the case. I'm in...

Re: New Area Content Poll
An 'Other' I would like to see is shaking resource nodes up a bit. There used to be a coal vein in The Bramble, but Artos (I think? Might have been Fireboar) changed it one day to the current set-up, and it was both a disappointment not to find the coal as much as it was a nice surprise to find it r...

Delay Minor Gift
Most, if not all of the Minor Gifts give excellent Roleplay hooks that can inform a character. Delaying the choice to take one (and again, this is only for the Minor Gifts) until a later level would allow a characters' development to inform that choice, rather than have to do so and effectively 'pla...

Re: Solutions to fringe problems.
Not a problem, but a bit of a time saver. You find a bunch of scrolls on a bookshelf or chest. Annoying to try to identify them and then put them into the scroll case, or maybe you CAN'T identify them and you don't want to use the 'Put all scrolls in container' option to keep some that you use separ...

Re: The Value of "Why?"
An absolutely excellent essay. Finding out why a character has come to Arelith has long been a way I've tried to meet people (with the bonus that you'll not just meet new characters, but new players this way as well). Inspiration for your own character can come from all sorts of different sources, n...

Pretty much everything that Aelryn said.
