i quite like the system aswell. a few points makes a difference in 1v1 pvp. not sure anything other than dodge/hit rate/party numbers matter outside of that.

the only part i don't like is the balance of spells, granted nothing will ever top the gnome/elf staples with a few ling variants. it just saddens me a half orc healer for instance grows up to be a cleric and heals worse than a druid cures. the int stat just spreads the damage by too much, imo. but i see you mentioned level 50...maybe tht ill fix it?

That's like being sad your Elemental Berserker doesn't hit as hard as a Half-Orc Berserker.

On the topic, thanks for the replies. I was unaware it was so easy to have an auto roller. I know a game I played after RoK went down would have you answer a math quest after a random number of rolls. Not sure how well something like that actually works since I don't do any kind of coding.

That sounds like Nightmist. I vaguely remember it having that.

I didn't want to say the name and "promote" other games, but yes it is.

On a side note, is there any plans on increasing the amount of playable characters at a single time? Even if it's only to 2 instead of 1?

Upping the alt limit has been discussed, yes, but isn't likely to happen anytime soon. We have a goal of eventually releasing the game on tablets/smart phones as well to help increase the player base, and if we up the limit those players will be at a distinct disadvantage since they'll only be able to run one character without using a second device. Social interactions will make your life much easier while we work on ensuring the game stays balanced to be playable with a single character regardless of class.

This seems fair enough. However I think a lot of people who would be playing this on a tablet/smartphone would have a laptop or PC as well. Not all, but the majority. This kind of makes it easy to just go ahead and run two characters at once anyways. On of the PC/Laptop and one off the phone/tablet.

I do like the idea of being able to play this on my Smartphone or Tablet while I am away. My only concern is the movement commands and the ease of using macros compared to Smartphones that don't generally have a separate keyboard like a PC and Tablet does/can have. But I leave that to the people who make the game lol.

True, but as of now this is a bannable offense as it goes against the spirit of 1 alt at a time.

Yes, movement and basic commands are the biggest issue. I think they are solvable though.
