[QUOTE="Kibo, post: 374152, member: 5451"] [B][/b] I thought you were enjoying a little hyperbole, after all it's what the internet was invented for. I don't hear advocates of armies of 1 HD kobolds running around with improved sunder. [b][/b] Progress quest, the latest in fire-and-forget in RPG technology. You can adventure in your sleep, literally. And for the record, Terence Phillip Michael Thomas only has one weapon, a +28 steely vicious bandyclef. And he's done all sorts of things in the pursuit of power (checking list), he's delivered lunch pales and cookies, fetched buckets and hoes, all kinds of stuff. Sir, I find your insinuations to the otherwise insulting and political! [b][/b] One of the things I have learned is one of the very few things that truly matters are the small kindnesses you do for people. Stuff is stuff. It wears out, slides into obsolesence, loses its luster. The small things that cost you little or nothing, those last and last and last. Stuff has a certain utility, but beyond that, and losing it might be a pain in the butt, it's just stuff. And a person being overly concerned with the loss of virtual stuff (beyond the normal outburst that could be attributed to surprise) well that's really, really wierd. When you think of the fun role-playing stuff from your days of yor, how much of it is "I had this and this"? None probably. Certainly in my case, it's "I did this, and then remember what Tony did? HAHAHAHA." When you're done playing the only thing that's really left is the story of the character(s). [/QUOTE]
