This post prompted me to go and read your faq, and I have to say I'm
very impressed. I definitely agree with splitting the realms as it
solves the pvp issue of cross teaming (unless people really want to
cheat with 2 accounts or gamevoice etc...). I'll be interested to see
how you address balancing issues so as to prevent everyone gravitating
to a certain race. People have such a tendancy to min/max...

Hopefully you will post up here when applications for beta 3 are open
as its definitely one of the most promising sounding games.
