Hi Bryan.
You must've started Sryth slightly earlier than I did, ---- as I first began
in january of 2005.
I admit I was probably a litle too strong in my E-mail, ---- I just am
rather sorry to see a game I've had so much fun with become rather grasping
as I believe it has.
Ce I am enjoying a lot, but I tend to like exploration so it sutes me.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

If you're that dissatisfied with Sryth then write to the GM with your
concerns. I personally am still quite happy with the game, and I've been
playing since October of '04. Sryth is not only the first truly accessible
online RPG I was ever introduced to but it's the ONLY one that's
consistently kept my interest in all the time that I've played it. Neither
Kingdom of Loathing nor even Core Exiles has managed to do that. Then
again I'm more of a fantasy fan than a Sci-Fi one so it's not entirely
surprising that I eventually lost interest in CE. But Sryth has always
managed to hold onto my interest. True I do manage to access most of the
content but in all honesty I don't donate all that much and not often.
Anyway you don't have to buy a residence to enjoy most of the game. I just
think of the adventures associated with them as, for lack of a better
term, side effects. And anyway there really aren't many of those yet so
you really aren't missing much.
Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of
pizza?
Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash.

Well, I neither mind donating nor subscribing to a game, --- -with Sryth
though I think it's gone far too far really, sinse now your needing to
get more game content by spending adventurer tocans on things like
residences and the quick stone, ---- apart from the fact that the gap
betwene those who spend a lot of money on tocans to up their gear, and
those who do not (and the corrisponding difficulty of some of the game
encounters), is just growing.
Ce is also a business, and works on the same model as Sryth, ---- in that
you subscribe to get some basic bennifits such as extra fuel, then can
buy game extras. One of their key tennits though is game extras must
never unbalance things, ---- so no fueling your combat ability with power
alone.
Also there is no urge to donate to get extra content, ---- as with Sryth
and the quests.
I'm actually rather sad to see where Sryth has gone, ---- being as I
played from 2005 onwards. I admit though, when I start up the game and
told I need to pay At's to access a quest via buying a residence, ---- or
that my melee rating needs to be another 20 points higher which just
won't happen unless I donate even more cash, ---- I decided it was too
much, ---- and that from somebody who has already donated significantly
to the game.
I do drop in occasionally to see what can be done, ---- but not too often
I admit.
If it sounds as if I'm being unreasonable, bare in mind the mechanics. 20
dollars a year, and the game has at least 5000 paying customers or
more, ---- What's the need to squeeze for more money.
Donation bennifits to games should be just a nice thank you, ---- not a
necessity for getting game content.
I have a mind to E-mail the Gm and express my dissatisfaction with the
game at some point.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
