Just would like to take this opportunity to say hello to all. This long time lurker is now a Layonara resident. Looking forward to being a part of this ever growing community.
I have been a regular player of (dare I say it?) both World of Warcraft and Everquest 2 from early on in their release, and I have recently been quite dissillusioned with both. I came to the conclusion that my dissatisfaction with these games was the total lack of In game Dynamics which lead to a quite boring existance of quest, walk, and reward.these worlds are quite static (apart from the odd random event) and there is little sense of your character having any significant impact onto the world.
In Layonara, it is this Dynamic and fluid status of the world which makes it such an attractive place to Roleplay IMO. The possibility of actually influencing both world events and the people which inhabit them is a very satisfying feeling and is something that Blizzard and Sony can simply not compete with.
So, I suppose I simply want to wish All GM's good luck to the future, and I am gladly giving my subscription money to Layonara instead of the others.It's not often that the "little guys" can beat the big boys, but in my MMORG experience this place offers a True RP home. Long may it continue.
