So I've been playing for less than a week now, after not really being in a game since the end of Firan. For what it's worth, here are some opinions:

  1. I like the theme. It's interesting and I think staff has done a good job of making it difficult to create or take a character that is going to be widely despised with no reason to RP with anyone else;
  2. I like the players I've met. Almost implausibly friendly and engaging, who have never once been unwilling to answer any and all inane questions I might have;
  3. The character I took (Marius, for those who care) lacked any relationship information. This has led to me feeling uncertain when trying to figure out how I should interact with someone for the first time. There were no notes about how he felt about his family members, either. That was disappointing, but at least as it relates to the family, some OOC conversation has helped straighten that out;
  4. Difficult to get caught up on lore stuff. The website lacks a lot of important information and so I've had to rely on what other players can tell me. This is also a challenge since I don't know what Marius would ICly know, and I don't want to be one of those people who assumes his character knows everything all the other characters in his sphere knows;
  5. I love a few of the features like directions and +tasks and @randomscene. Those are smart and, so far, really easy ways for me to get around and get involved. Because I'm new, people are given XP for RPing with me, which has led to 2 or 3 strangers paging me and asking for a scene. That's a warm welcome.

So, overall, I'm excited to play the game. I think it's been done very well thus far, and even my complaints are simply rectified, if the staff has in mind to do so.
