I don't understand why every discussion turns into an argument?! This thread started off very mature and well thought. Jakko was trying to have a discussion about something that he feels is important. You don't all have to agree with him, but you don't have to slam him either.

We are one shard now, as has already been stated, and we need to learn to start having intelligent conversation without putting each other down. I think it is ridiculous to rip on XUO or IN. They were both great shards, and for very different reasons. If you look on the website, this is what I wrote when we started this project...

IN:X encourages diversity and competition. We are not limited to one specific aspect of the game as we feel that a robust world such as ours should cater to all play styles. If you enjoy PvP, PvE, RP, or just hanging out with your friends at Brit bank… you will feel right at home. Our PvP system is one of the best… if not THE best system you will find online. If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding PvP environment, our old school “***** Opiate” inspired PvP system delivers.

Read it and let the words sink in. What is going to make this shard great, is that we are not limited to one specific style of game play. We are already #1 in all 4 polls. Let's start acting like a #1 shard.

Anyhow, I appreciate Jakko's post and will think it over and discuss it with the rest of the staff. That doesn't mean we will or will not place pit runes outside of dungeons. But I do promise we will discuss it.
