When I saw Sarngard originally, i thought we were getting more story, ----
afterall it gives Thane Pyrond distinctly more plot.
However the way it's been implemented is indeed rather unsatisfactory.
As I said, I don't want to spam the man, ---- but I have seen this worrying
trend for the passed few years, which is why my Sryth playing has decreased
so much.
While I also don't want to cryticize someone who's writing I greatly admire,
I do also believe the Gm has become rather financially greedy.
Originally, I thought subscription for a game was a good idea, --- it shows
my appreciation, and gives the gm the security to develope.
The original Tallys idea was okay too, --- back in the days when the most
expensive gear was 32 tocans or so.
donating here was a way to show your appreciation with a few more dollars
which gave you an extra bit of push, ----- though not too much.
However recently, it seems there are many areas in the game which are just
At sponges, and the disparity betwene Tallys items and the most powerful in
game ones is just extreme!
It wouldn't matter if you could stil get through the adventures with normal
equipment, ----- but most of the time you can't, and with the game now
rewarding players for extensive donating and grinding, this gap is just
getting larger.
This is the chief reason why i've mooved much more into the realms of
gamebooks these days.
I do have half a mind to send the Gm an honest E-mail, ---- just to let him
know that not everyone out there approves of Sryth's competitive leanings.
I also find it sad that Ekitrina is a character I am deeply fond of, she has
her own background, story, appearence and personality.
yet the more generically grindy Sryth becomes, the less in touch with her as
a character I feel, ---- which isn't nice, considdering how long we've been
together.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark
Your mention of the email brings to mind my recent one about the
Sarnguard
Isle. As I'd said I've tgot the gloves but still can't open the dang door
there for some reason or other. When you get frustrated a game does loose
some appeal. Originally the story was part of the attraction, perhaps
it's
worth letting him know that it should be more important then stat
crunching.
Ron

Amen to that.
I used to logue into Sryth every day or two and get really excited about
new
advs. Now, I frequently logue in once a month and then find, ---- oh look,
another grinding area.
I did send Matthew a message about this worrying trend last year, but I'm
not sure whether he got it sinse he didn't reply.
i don't want to spam him, ---- but I'm very tempted to see if I can put
together something more pointed on my thoughts of where Sryth is going.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
