Age System Consideration

[Zac]

I have been playing this Shard for over 5 years. I have worked very hard to get my stats to maxium. I have 2 out of 3 stats maxed, and the 3rd is only a few points away from being maxed. To me This AGE system is bad. I have nothing to gain and everything to loose. I realize that not to many characters are in this position. So I say a Resonding NO to this idea. I will not spend time running arround killing everything just to keep my stats where they are. Now if you wish to make this system voluntary, where someone like me could opt out of this system, Knock yourselfs out. But if you force this upon us I will seriously consider leaving this shard. It is not fair to me to loose what I have worked very hard to achieve.

First of all, folks, trust the staff that they will find ways to include it in the game in a way that everyone has a chance of obtaining the potions without twisting one's way of playing.

BUT ...

if asked, I would vote against it. For the single reason that, in the long run, whatever you do, you are forced to obtain and use these potions. It seems to me that this is a novelty on WP, though I may not have a correct overview, just playing sporadically for 2 years now.
Every other concept on the shard is a possibility, you _can_ do it but you can also turn your back on it. It gives me a feeling of being forced to do something, which I never had before on this shard.

Would the game be less fun? Probably, being forced to do something is not funny. Would it make me leave? Definitely not (again, trusting staff that it is implemented in a few ways to suit most player's style of play).
