Items should not define a character's power. I prefere low-magic worlds in general, it gives you a better "feel" for your characters abilities, i.e. my fighter hits because he's well trained in combat, not because he has this super +12 greatsword. A slight increase in power spread out over the level...

I just tried it, won't work. When I create a new character with the same name as my old (bugged) one, the server tries to load the old one while the new one gets deleted (or simply thrown away..).

Does the level of an item get set manually for each item or is it calculated automatically from the stats of the item? Just curious..

With so many people wishing to do business at night hours, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that at least some merchants shift their trading hours towards night time to do better business? I'm all in favor for some 24/7 stores (they may as well pay a little bit less for the goods they buy from yo...

Could we introduce some means of deleting a character you don't want to use anymore? Currently I got two bugged chars that I'd simply like to remake..

Is there going to be a time limit for resting once we leave beta behind us, e.g. only allowing a rest every 15 real time minutes?

From what I've seen so far I like it a lot. At first it seems there isn't much to kill, but after a bit of exploration I found enough to satisfy my appetite for blood. The loot dropped seems a bit much to me though, seems I get about 100 gold and several magical items from each low-level creature I ...

It''ll also be much nicer when my AA can shoot everything down before it even comes close..

It does sound to me though as if there's some strange teaming going on.. Why would all panters, cougars etc. become hostile to you when you fight one? It's not like they are a tight knight group like e.g. a city's guards (where I would see this making sense).

I thought PM levels only add to the number off spells per day, not to the effective caster level..?

Maybe the server you tried to log on to (with the 28/64) was not the one that hosted the area where your character should be, so you got transfered to another server which was full?

I like the general PvP setting, mages just have to be a bit more careful where to place their area spells. I haven't seen it myself yet, but stupid NPC mages that roast their allies WOULD be a serious problem as far as I see it.. maybe don't give them area affects or only those like firebrand or isa...

Does that include dropping an item to the ground and having it picked up by someone else?

So individual characters can be saved, rather than only allowing to save all characters at once? I don't know how stable the NS4 servers will be, but if they crash occasionally (or worse: if a crash can be forced by some player action) this could lead to a problem with duping. I encountered that pro...

The only stacking of SR that might be balanced is that with the SR feat (could perhaps stack with item or spell SR too?). But seriously, a high level drow/githzerai/etc. already has so much SR that only an almost equally high pure caster could beat it, so taking SR feats might hardly be worth the ex...
