Geez that was a long read.

Well here are my comments:

I agree that death is not death. I'm not sure about the portals but someone must have created them so it stands to reason that they are focus-points for Kami or Karavan power.
Perhaps only a chosen few are saved by the K/K. It is clear that people do die permanently in the world so obviously the do not save everyone from everything. I don't think we have to agree to an explanation for this. We may very well have differing opinions of this IG. For example Faeron is obviously saved because of his devotion to the Kami (or so he would probably say), Artash may have another explanation and Perun yet a third.

I agree with everything else, the only problem I've had with the communication thing is when I've been contacted by outsiders they often don't quite get it and I even though I explain it OOC too it's not something I like spending a lot of time on.

Also I agree very much with Kryigerof about the level-gap thing. This is one of the biggest killers to me too. I don't see that anything can be done about it but it and I'm not quite sure how to roleplay it either.

Well emotes are ok but in my opinion not that essential. It is possible to use the * * thing instead although of course it doesn't work quite as well.

I believe one thing that Seed did was that it made everything blend in so well.
For example the facts that you die and come back in some way in most MMOs quite break the mood for me. Or the fact that people can talk over endless distances without any explanation (in Seed we all had necklinks to cover that). Seed had IG explanations for pretty much everything which in my opinion makes it much easier to RP in.

OF course an evolving world is part of that as well. If the world doesn't evolve it's harder for RP to evolve.

But all these things of course only work with players dedicated to RP. People who refuse to RP or even try to annoy you on purpose when you RP can really ruin it for me.
Most MMOs mostly seem to be different versions of Diablo with some additional background thrown in..these kinds of games attract people who play them like Diablo (i.e. kill,kill,kill).
Other than Seed I don't know of any game that has fullfilled all of this.....

URU does sound like it has some promise though perhaps I will try it out sometime

Of which religion is this a symbol. In what fantasy world does this religion exist and in which country in that world is this religion the most widely spread?

Well this saddens me a lot less than what happened to Seed but still....
Maybe we can start getting payed for NOT joining a MMO
Oh well I'll keep playing and see what happens...

OK let's see if this is a bit tougher
Name the game, the monster and what numbers should be printed on the opposite side of it.

Well I don't mind FR much (although I'm more of an Eberron fan and thus must disagree with Olufs previous statement).

If we want to create a new setting it seems to me there are two parts to it.
One is creating the world and the background and I agree  with Ahnion that this part should not be a problem but it will take some time.

The other part is fitting the the system and the world together.
That has to depend on how much customization can be done with the toolset. But if this is basicaly D&D then you will have to make a world that will fit the system not just the other way around.

I'll probably get NWN2 sometime later this week and I'll be happy to play with you guys no matter what the world is

Right you are

I'll post a new one tonight or tomorrow
