Being open to new things,
I was curious about the other servers that he spoke of so I am trying Amia. It is impressive and does have some things I like that layo doesn't but it is not as friendly or quite as vast as Layo is. L you have created a realistic feeling world that has good rules and a history that is interesting. Amia has these things but they aren't nearly as interesting or epic. I just gained two levels in Amia by just delivering messages and I was only playing about an hour. I like that your world, L, is harder to gain levels. Now I appreciate my 6 levels at Layo a lot more than I used to. I do suggest checking Amia out, it is kind of cool and it does have some things that Layo could benefit from (more NPC's, they give history and rumors all having to do with the story. It makes the city seem more populated and real. Like Port Hamp maybe could have more NPC's). Although, even though I have only played Amia for a brief period, it doesn't seem to have more than one continent, which is a bummer. Anyway, even with these differences I still think that Layo is a better fit, yet I am going to delve into Amia a little more.
Keep up the great work L and your team. You have created a world with great character interaction, with great GM lead quests and an immersive world that puts the others to shame.

P.S. Maybe one of the team members here or L himself can take a look at Amia (it's very easy to join and log in) see if there is anything there that can make Layo better (even though I think it is great the way it is). Just a thought.
I have also posted this as a new thread to leave it open to conversation.
