IMAGINE1 - 2010 where will I be?

10 years is too long to imagine. I have studied futurology which attempts to use this date range and it is generally ineffective. Personally, I have never been able to predict my own life circ***tances for a given 5 year time-frame. That said, there are a few facts that can be relied on:

Actually, it says somewhere on the site that there Will be given out bonuses/extra points for extraordinary work, but the problem is that the 'rules' for this is not transparent. That is, who decides? Is it the sole discretion of the admin of the game? Imagine other games where the admins think certain players did well in a zone, killing mobs, and then decided to give that player 10.000 gold or some extra-rare weapon or piece of armory.

Keep going, mate. Explore the game, and create your own enjoyment in it. But as I said, I partly agree with your sentiment, and I hope the admins are aware of the drawbacks of such more or less arbitrary rewards.

(Disclaimer - I have also myself been given +50 Collaboration by an admin last night)

I lived in Chiang Mai for two years! What part of the city do you live in? I lived out at CMU for most of the time. What kinds of projects are you consulting on? I look forward to working with you here on EVOKE
