Well about the pits, when the merge first happened I hated the idea of it. I never like players being absolutely safe unless it has something to do with an event or something. However the pits do have somewhat of a function, which would work better with more players. Though I think that same function scares smaller groups of players from going chaos/order at the same time.
Honestly, if you don't like the pits, you never have to go there. It only effects your gameplay if you allow it to do so.
As for having a main town, well thats not exactly anything that can be changed. Even if we unguarded Britain, who is to say players would flock to Trinsic. If we did the same event that was on IN we might be able to get players to go there momentarily but that doesn't mean they will want that as the main town. Ultimately players have the choice of making the choice of what they want the main town to be.
About RP races, you don't need a guildstone to roleplay a race and if you did want a guild/race you could simply make a guild that involved a specific goblin tribe or something, it doesn't have to be named [Goblin] for it to work.
Also, players running around like the old days, like goblins acting rude, really depends on a players willingness to RP to that extent. With certain races having claws or masks that do certain things, well it isn't like that isn't possible or an option as a reward but honestly there has been little interest in such a thing. Not to mention very few people who actually would deserve such a reward.
Being close minded about the merge that happened years ago is not going to help the shard at all. While, coming from IN, I do miss certain features, we all have to remember that both sides made sacrifices.
In order to make the shard better we need to move past whats been done and think about where things can still go. This shard has a lot of potential and I think everyone here knows that deep down, which is why we are all still here but everyone needs to participate in order to make that happen.
That's my take on it anyways :p
