I agree with Enrico, but not because I have any experience playing MMORPGs :) Much of what I have read said that role-playing players really don't like having their options limited artificially unless they can see it really is for the greater good of the game. For instance, they don't like overly restrictive PK rules because sometimes, as the Texans say, "he just needed killin". But they want some places to be safe from stupidity so they can role-play, so it's ok to have some areas where PK is forbidden. Basically, our only purpose with these rules is to keep the "barbarians" (players just there to ruin the game) from ruining it. If it was all role-players, we wouldn't have any rules at all. Darryl
