Re: Acknowledging the history of CLOK

I think Karjus and Lexx both raise valid considerations. I never got the sense that COGG felt hollow -- in fact, it was refreshing to have a clean slate, but perhaps that's because I'm not one to pine after "the good old days". I have no desire to revisit any characters I played in CLOK. T...

Re: Guilds, Societies, Factions, Characters, Skills, Abilities, the Lost Lands, Scope, COGG

COGG is your project, so I believe you should do whatever it takes to stay interested and productive.
