Update on LotGD Game
This evening I was playing the "killer" version I’ve mentioned before, when I got game-mail from one of the admins asking for my opinion of their version. I told him the truth — with, I fear, a bit more bluntness than usual, because of the shortness of the messages allowed. He thanked me for the truth, then all of a sudden 10,000 gold appeared on my character’s status panel, followed by a note that it was a thank-you for being truthful and encouragement to remain so!
I was floored. I thought sure he’d be offended, but instead he said he’d adjust the Forest Fights to take my input into consideration (such as slumming-only when my Gryphon is exhausted, running from anyone even one level higher, never ever thrillseeking without the gryphon, and not even being too sure about fighting monsters that’re supposedly at my level.) And I pointed out that at Level 1, I’d spent enough gems on hit points that I was at 150, which is 140 over standard for that level.
Oh, and I also mentioned being happy about the Spelling Bees, since for me they’re easy money. Being a copy-editor/proofreader has some advantages!
His reaction to my comments improved my opinion of the game considerably — or at least of its admin staff! We’ll see about the game over the next few days — it’d be nice if I didn’t have to play so dratted defensively! I don’t mind taking chances, but even in a game, I’m not suicidal.
