Help on: feedback

After you've played for a while, you will undoubtedly find things about the game which you'd like to see changed. And we, the gods, are interested in what you have to say. However, be warned that with more than a decade experience in running this game, there are very many ideas which we've heard or thought of and discarded for various reasons.

To increase the likelihood if your idea being implemented, it should:

- Offer a big improvement for how much work it is to implement. Big changes that take months or years of work would cause many smaller changes to not get done instead. What you are suggesting should be obviously worth the amount of effort that it requires.

- Be a well-formed, balanced idea that makes the game more interesting in a way that neither significantly increases the power of everyone in the game or radically alters the power of any given race/class/whatever. The game is supposed to take a while; making everyone kill everything faster just makes it more repetitious.

- Adds to diversity of play where possible. Adding more classes with all of the same spells/skills with different names isn't interesting and neither is giving combat spells to warriors or bash to thieves.

Things that increase likelihood of your message being ignored completely:

- Failure to spell correctly, use proper punctuation or capitalization. If you can't take the time to even make your text readable, then it probably isn't worth the time it takes us to read it. So we don't.

- If a god offers a reply to your idea, failing to listen to their input and instead challenging their intelligence or authority. In particular, any response that involves taking a poll of other players in an attempt to "prove" the quality of your idea is just a waste of board space.

Be aware that all of the gods have lives and jobs and are only able to give a few hours per week to the game. We already know of hundreds of things that need to be worked on and are only interested in adding your idea to that list if it is truly exceptional and compatible with our vision for the future of the game. You should be working to convince us that it is.
