Good news on the inven/mail changes for VIPS, and good timing on the announcement in view of the anxiety over the recent personnel losses . . .

but . . .

I really had to lol when I read the first three items --- everything the players have said they do NOT want:

--Session play has been universally condemned all the way back to game launch . . . yay we get more MANDATORY session play!
--The initial SOA version of the game is viewed by most original players as being the Golden Age of the game . . . yet the current developers seem intent on ruthlessly destroying all of the original content, making that forever unavailable -- North Downs content to be destroyed and replaced with more of this easy mode content I guess-- as has gone the original Moria, GB, Fornost, Helegrod, on level L50 group content, on level L60 group content, on level L65 group content, on level L75 group content, and on level L85 group content.
--and best of all- no new on level group content, the #1 thing the players want (hmm, wow I just thought of a great idea-- instead of having the developers spend all their time destroying old content, what if they instead spent time on creating new content!)

Its no longer aggravating tho-- Its just comical, its like they try to figure out exactly what people don't want, and then do it

Well, at least they aren't raising the level cap again.
