I've played the game for ages. Recent versions have been plagued by certain immortals that make the game as unpleasant as possible; playing edited mortal characters with godly statistics, abilities, and equipment. Instead of making a character like the rest of us and spending the months to achieve their goals, it's about thirty minutes for certain admin to wank out a character and spoil the fun. The reasoning is 'mortals can acquire everything' however the probability of such is astronomical if not miraculous. It really is a wonderful game, however I won't be returning anytime soon - until the administration matures. It was once quite rewarding to explore the mysteries of Ravenfall. Now it is a matter of how exactly certain admin will flaunt their ego on a daily basis. I would challenge them to actually make a legitimate character, but there's no interest in that - only lording over players and undeserved graces. When one voices their concerns it is considered whining, and even when validated - for instance a character is removed - another takes its place in the same breath. Perhaps I will return someday; but the game was much better years ago, when administration kept to their work in the shadows instead of trivializing other players.
