I played since beta 1 and tinkering was not implimented untill the very end
of phase 4.. and even then it was essentially non-functioning... You say
robots were taken out? I don't know where you heard this rumor.. there NEVER
ever were robots.. not even the notion. I remember a post back in beta
asking about this.. and all the gm had to say was that it would unbalance
the game uncontrolably.. and it would. Imagine a wizard with a robot pet...
or something like that. Anyway just wanted to clear that up..
