Message: <blockquote data-quote="Magi_Siani" data-source="post: 4905999" data-attributes="member: 34597">Given the types and numbers of supposed familiars who used to come into the Tavern with no sign of their supposed masters, and often the havoc caused I chose to allow them only if their master were present and then only if of reasonable size. Ditto regular animals. There used to be this mouse character that was played brilliantly; I loved interacting with that character. However, for every one like that there were more that were often nuiscances. So, in the end it was an arbitrary choice made by me to limit chaos. Same reason I restricted fighting in the tavern. There is currently a place where all of those things can happen. I am unlikely to remove those restrictions although I will give it consideration. What is fun for some is irritating to others. I can't satisfy everyone unfortunately, and I still have to keep my own and the other Magi's sanity in mind.As for the Garden, I don't really mind normal domestic type critters in the Garden. Of course if they are in the Garden then all the other critters people love are getting discriminated against according to various people. The Garden therefore, for the moment anyway, follows the same rules the Tavern does. That is likely to change some.I want to be clear; there will still be restrictions on the Tavern. Some will be lightened, some done away with, some modified. A part of me misses the Tavern as it was on Juxta...but not all of what it was. We don't have the personnel to handle that and that sort of free for all would require a lot of watching, as it did at the time. I'm cognizant of the fact that as soon as I reduce the restrictions on the place it may attract people who've been away and didn't like said restrictions so I feel pretty sure that it wouldn't stay the low numbers and fairly easy to monitor place it is at the moment if I simply removed all the restrictions.Might be fun for some, but surely wouldn't be for others.Thanks for the input.Siani</blockquote>
