Hey thanks those that said nice things about me. This gets to me though, hehe:

I know exactly what you mean there. But I tried to at least not just scream SUCKS and then list why it sucked. I didn't even say it sucked, I just said I was feeling bored. Then I tried to offer some kind of solutions, bad solutions I admit. And I had a few beers in me so I swore like a sailor, heheheh.

I still don't like how players can regenerate (except trolls!). I think people shouldn't regenerate, and maybe trade skill items could alleviate this somehow. I agree wholeheartedly people should use potions, perhaps you can't drink a potion very well when something's hitting you--spit it up. Give newbies potions as part of starting gear.

As for death, I like how an upcoming game Unknown handles it: You can die. You just hope someone is there to resurrect you. There are also items to help you "escape" death. But I really like the threat of true death, I think that would add a lot. That game also will have a finite amount of gold in the world. Interesting.

Ah well, not quitting yet but who knows, spend more time reading this list than playing anymore. Guess I'm just hoping a patch comes along that effects things somehow that would entice me back. (Also, being items never really degrade in any manner whatsoever, can't wait for a market glut and really cheap great items for sale or free, hehehe)
