I was upset as a dm (which i wont name names ) said he wouldnt ask me to change my characters name he did ask me how many poeple 1400 years ago had the name of my character and i couldnt asnswer as i wasnt born and there was a story behind the name and it was a rather good one but i changed names and no he didnt ask me staight out to change it but it was implied. As i was informed many of the dms didnt like the name. I wasnt given an explation of why i couldnt use the name

Its a great server i did find a few areas a little to hard for the level of my character as the mines, a higher level goes in and spawns ungodly spawns in turn it kills the lower level. Theres a dm here that was somewhat rude to me without an explation of the problem.

I am really enjoying the server. It's great and the people are nice!
I do have a suggestion. It seems to get repetitive to have to go through Slum and/or Mansions to get to any other parts of the city (and to return for resting). It would be nice to provide a short cut to town so those areas can be skipped by higher levels who knows those areas well. Quick transport would keep those areas fresh for lower levels and to help higher levels to explore.
My idea include a quest for each character. The reward of the quest is to become an honorary cityguard and obtain a key/wardstone. This key/wardstone would allow the character to make use of the entry doors to the city wall (the ones next to the gates to adjacent area). This way each door can be keyed to and directly connects with an area that is 2 (or more) areas from town.
Benefit of this system: One, unlike 'Stone of Recall' players can't abuse this quick trip to town to escape during a fight. Two, only those completed the quest can gain use of the doors, so lower level can't accidentally get there. Three, there is a good technical explaination for the link. i.e. the doors are lock/warded against invasion so it requires the key/wardstone to use, and the connections are actually hidden/protected hallways inside the walls that allow for transport. Four, that would make use of the various extra doors on the city wall. Five, players would still need to go to town to rest. Six, it will promote exploration. As of now, I was able to get to level 10 (1/2 way to the max level) without needing to go further than slums/kutoswell/mansions. It's nice that the monsters scale up (in mansions) according to plalyer level, but that means that for single/weak groups, it's not viable to go far and explore other areas.
I hope my post is helpful! See you at DarkCrystal.
