Though I find some of the comments here about Firan to be valid, I would like to counter that I think that Firan is the best Roleplaying Game I have come across. There is no need to go around killing things and there is just laid back RP. I love the roster system and I have noticed that staff has started to address the fact that their characters are getting outdated.

I do think that there is a large playerbase on the staff that get 'special treatment', I am not worried about that kind of thing, when I can make my own plots and my own fun. I think that if you are a good player, you can make your own fun, and not rely on a riot or air raid everyday that has to be staffed.

I don't know what I think about all the comments from people who have been playing for several years. I have been playing Firan for almost 2 years and I have nothing to complain about. I think that its a game that should be commended. The staff and players are wonderful, kind, and should be praised for the things that they do.

The staff on Firan take times out of their lives to volunteer to give you as 'timely' a response as they can. I think the main problem people have is that no one has a RL and they rely on staff to give them a life, forgetting that some people /do/ have lives.

I just wonder if someone who is complaining about the game has thought of all the time and effort that the creators and staff have taken to keep a game for your 'entertainment' open for free and without question. I don't think that living room policy is that bad, seeing as they are the creators and until you have your own game, you can't make those rules. Who wants someone to come in and mess up their game ideas, or insult their generosity of letting you play there?

I also have to wonder, if there are so many upset and complaining about the game, calling it stale and bland, why are they still playing? Why are they still around? Addiction. Because the game is that good. Because the staff has tried their best to make it a fun and interesting game. If you were that displeased with the game, then you would find somewhere better to play.

I mean I know I would. I have nothing but praise and good things to say about the game and their staff. I thank the staff for allowing me to have a laid back fun experience. Because that's what Firan is, a game, a fair and interesting game. And with any game comes things that might need to be improved, but I think staff is very good about listening to player suggestions. Ex. Ikonboard. Also, I think they take the time out to fix things that look to be wrong. Ex. Recent Bonus' that were discussed in Ikonboard.

It amazes me to see such bad reviews for Firan, when in reality, the game is awesome, and I would recommend the addiction to anyone looking for a reality based, fun game.
