Nothing shows up in red, is what I'm saying.

Need to Make Experience Of Returning Players Easier
For a game that needs players, it's crazy to me how hostile Imperian is to old players coming back. Especially those who have been out years ago.
For context, I started playing Imperian when it got, when Ithaqua was not even yet a village. I played for several years across all IRE games, and just got back now after maybe 7 years of not touching muds at all. I restarted my characters in Aetolia and Imperian. The experience couldn't be farther from each other.
In Aetolia, between welcomeback and Sunder, I'm back to bashing in 30mins.
In Imperian, I don't even have a health vial, and I had to remember how to vermin because I didn't have gold.
In both instances, I never talked to anyone.
Key thoughts:
I really liked this game and I want to play it again. Stop making it hard to do so.

Key thoughts:
- Need a WelcomeBack Type of Package - Fairly explainatory. If I wake up after 2 RL years of not playing, I should be incentivized to play again when I log in. Right now, we're disincentivizing returns by putting a fairly steep cognitive load and time barrier to get back into playing normally.
- Need a better way to bash - Imperian is fairly complex. In Aetolia, I got started bashing again regularly because of Sunder. In Imperian, I have to type in all my commands and figure out Mudlet again to code all my triggers/scripts etc. Very tedious. It was a great way to spend time 12 years ago, but now though, I don't want to spend 3 hours working on a system only to play for 30mins.
I really liked this game and I want to play it again. Stop making it hard to do so.

Re: Need to Make Experience Of Returning Players Easier
And why is Iron Elite bought in other games not applicable in Imperian? It doesn't make sense if you want to get more players.

Re: Black Lives Matter
Jesus... really?
I look into an old escape from reality and here it is, a fly in the ointment. Does ALL of entertainment have to rub their tears into everything?
