Darke has certainly gone the way of kindness. Being much older, less the disaffected youth I once was, and more interested in the game itself than what the game did for me, I don't much mind. On the other hand, there are some things that made the "Where Nightmares..." jabber after reboots seem to actually mean something.
I don't miss aggressive runing. I don't miss corpse looting. I don't miss xp loss from deaths. I don't miss crashes or bugs. In short, I don't miss a lot of things, and I can do without all the things I do miss. I am still a huge advocate for a singular mud plan though - one in which the direction is clearly stated and the paths taken along that journey are left to the imagination.
Any chance a meeting of the admin will result in such a sweeping document of intent?
