[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3748120, member: 40177"] Exactly. And I agree with CS on another thing - it's great to start speculating early. Fun, too. ;) To be honest, I'm opposed to the "conversion" idea, for a few simple reasons. 1) My characters could wind up being completely different in abilities (If, for example, Galwynn wound up losing some of his nifty paladin abilities in exchange to some new abilities that I don't like). 2) The process itself would take some amount of time, and would be a HUGE headache for our judges. 3) I'm sure there will be some 3.5 lovers who wouldn't want to convert; forcing them to convert to a game they don't wanna play seems like a bad idea. I think KO is right in that a functioning world released just before the final book is out would be a good idea. That being said, I also think it's great to discuss this subject long before we actually put pen to paper. While a great world, I think the "loose" method of design has resulted in some flaws in LEW - the original abundance of high level NPCs (look at the Orussus town guard, as originally written!), as well as the fact that it can be hard to navigate the world itself. I think, this time around, we know a bit more about designing a world for PbP, and I firmly believe that L4W is going to be great. [/QUOTE]
