@PantheonMMO Me and my buddy got into the game together. We wanted a medium population server. Enough people to find a group, but not packed to the gills.
@PantheonMMO I like the idea of doing in-game holiday events; running them at the same time as real holidays is fine; however, I don't want Pantheon Christmas with orcs wearing Santa hats. Just do something with the lore of the world to have festivals at the same time.
@Gingerblast It is always easier to play a character dumber than you are IRL than one smarter. For puzzles and intrigues I will typically give high int characters a hint or have them roll for a hint if it isn't something their character would know.
