69 Some of my ideas for the rewrite.

Hey guys.

First, check out my new novel, The Sleepers. It's in a competition so please add it to your collection and drop some stones. Back to what I know you guys are here for.

I'm currently mapping out the plot and world details for the rewrite. One of the ideas that keeps getting stuck in my head is that I want to remove stats. I feel that it is kind of pointless with how I want the story to work out. In real life, the strongest man in the world can be instantly killed by the weakest with the right tools and preparation. Thus, I feel that it would make it so that the world feels more authentic and that particular element isn't forced down one's throat.

However, I do want to maintain various other MMO elements such as reputation, a currency inventory (item inventory would be removed to increase immersion), item descriptions, name bars, etc.

Another interesting approach that I'm thinking about is that along with the removal of stats, there would be no more numerical health. Injuries that would be considered lethal are what would cause death. This includes dismemberment, bleeding out, etc. With this whole theme, I want the world to be more realistic.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I've got so many cool ideas in the works. The timeline might work a little differently than you guys expect so be ready for it. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.
