Nasty. Nasty. Nasty.

After many years, I visited the Archway to Minia last month to assist a
young citymate. I stayed about 10 minutes in this room, and afterwards
felt like if Belladonna had walked right over me.
2 people in the room casted attack illusions. Quite a few people did not
know about the concept of illusions, and got very worried,
understandably. 3 more insulted eachother, and everyone else that was in
the room. 1 more person kept kicking around.
It seems that more than ever before, the Archway to Minia has developed
into a place for troublemakers to hang out. People, who's main goal in
life seems to be to make the life of others miserable. Quite a few of
the people I saw there were young, but seemed old to me at the same
time.
And I am not even adressing the fact that certain thieves have made it
their favourite stealing place.
The Archway to Minia is a place where very many people that are very new
to these realms come by. If I would have been young and new to this
world, I would have thought twice about staying in these realms after
seing the -excuse the languge- crap that is going on there. I have asked
around, and it seems that occurances of this kind are very regular
there.
I have brought this matter later to the attention of Juliet, and She has
asked me to inform Her or Romeo next time right away, so that They can
evaluate the situation Themselves.
I therefore ask you all to aide Romeo and Juliet matters like this.
I do not feel it is the right of any adventurer to use a place that new
people to this world naturally visit only to mess around with them,
knowing that they might be easy to confuse due to their true young age.
It -again, please excuse my language- sucks when some people have "fun"
and this leads to driving others away from the realms, before they could
really learn the wonders of Sapience.

Of course, same goes for "young" people who seem to see their main
purpose in life in killing other youngsters without PK cause. I am fully
aware that this does not violate the laws of many cities or
organizations, however, I believe that we all still -apart from our
personal believe- share the responsibility to make young people aware
that things like PK laws exist in this world, and that they will face
consequences if the run around like a ticking bomb.
Again...I think if I had been new to this world, and visited Minia and
Lodi trying to gain experience, just to find myself killed 3 times by
some random stranger without any reason, I would have thought twice
about staying in this world.
Therefore again, I can only encourage everyone who learns of incidents
like that, to speak to the Guides right away.
