omigod!
I'm completely amazed - never thought I'd see the day.. I was pretty much resigned to leaving, so THANK YOU!!!!
IF this is -permanent- , I'd presume legitimized pkilling is also history (except in chaos / tournys), and thus redundant pthief chars would be allowed safely back into normal play - since they can't pthieve anymore, I don't see why not, but others may think differently. This isn't a change in attitude towards pthieving on my part, just what I think is a fair compromise.. others of course are free to think differently. If this is only a temporary measure though, forget it.
Thanks KJ and presumably Splork and the rest of the immort crew for this change in policy - I hope, given time, we will see the playerbase start to grow again.
