Free BG

[Mr. Charcanine]

I agree that game development should occur over time. However, I think the GM team is treading on thin ice. Big changes that can be controversial can be done on large servers that can afford to say, "Get over it" and possibly lose some people. But with the smaller GM team that we do have, I think its a tough decision to take a risk that could, theoretically, 1) make vets rage and leave and 2) not GUARANTEE a lot of new people.

All I was saying with the "easier not to change anything at all" is that they might not be able to afford to compromise the semi-neutral situation we have now.

Also, for the record, it might sound like I'm speaking for the GM team, but I have no idea what the GM team/Panda is thinking currently about this matter. I'm sure there are a lot more factors to this matter that I'm not addressing. These are my personal opinions and why (if I was in Panda's shoes) I might hesitate to bring about these changes.

I think heRO should definitely start taking some risks (gradually of course) especially towards this matter, but I also think it would help if there was some sort of assurance that a majority of the community would want this and this wouldn't be a big controversial issue. Maybe we might get a "Free BG. Yay or Nay?" thread in the future.
