> I fail to see the point in dividing the players between the initial > starting locations by *alignment*. It is completely irrational. It is not a planned division, it is just trying to be coherent. Surely good/evil/neutral races are drawn to each other by common goals which means that they are likely to live in the same areas, and LIVED in the same areas before the Cataclysm. Though, it can be argued that good and evil are not absolutes, they are complementative and hence dependant on each other, there can only be evil if there is good and vice versa, meaning that evil races would exist as a parasite in the good races' societies by abusing their faith and good will, but it would hardly be an organized system of "evil" and would be a very narrow-minded and one-sided approach, especially considering that evil races do not consider themselves "evil", "fiendish" and "demonical", they are just evil based on what is collectively considered "sacred" and "pleasant" in variable systems of "ethics", if you'll excuse my inaccuracy and partial misuse of individual concepts. And, considering the more mundane issues, evidently it would lead to chaos and war if a lot of conflicting races would live in the same secluded areas in the beginning of the game. We already have a very sensitive system in which a lot of things can go "wrong", so I suggest we play it safe at first. -- _/_ /Atte "Yorkaturr" Koivula <yorkaturr@majik3d.org>
