[QUOTE="Otakkun, post: 5939662, member: 10309"] I love my old realms. And if they are coming back with 5E, then I'll be back with them as well. I've always found the rants about old El to be nothing but childish ranting. So yes, he is a powerhouse, mage extraordinary and will probably always be a magintude more powerful than any PC out there.... so what? If your DM uses him as a Deus Ex Machina in his adventures then that's HIS fault, not old El's. Even if he's not there, your DM is going to change it with old Pete is that's what he likes. Finding El a nuisance because of what he's capable of doing is a null point. So what? You also want all gods wiped out because they are too powerful? The rants about the more notorious characters on the realms all fall into the same category to me, it's like saying "why work for a living if Bill Gates could give me enough money to live my life twice with just the interest he gets in a month on his bank accounts". So what? He's obviously not going to appear out of nowhere and say "hey dude I'll make your life easier because I can and I don't have anything better to do". He's got his own life to live, just like El has his own tribulations. Anyway, enough ranting. I'm glad to get Ed back in FR, let's just hope he manages to do some damage control and make the realms interesting again. [/QUOTE]
