- can use animated avatars;
I'm with you right up until here. Animated avatars should be taken out to the woodshed and shot--regular avatars are bad enough, which is why I have them blocked, and their existence should end right there. No frills, no more space, no animation....ever.
I kind of like the "deity" rank, but have we heard anything from Theymos lately about whether he's considering adding any more ranks? I always got the feeling (or maybe he wrote it somewhere) that Legendary is as far as anyone is every going to go. At one point I thought that that would lead to an overabundance of Legendaries, but since the merit system came into existence and it's much harder to rank up, I don't think that's going to be the case.
My view has kind of changed since January of last year, and perhaps Legendary is as high a rank as needs to exist. Don't know. Something higher than that would be nice, however--and I'm not even talking about for myself. There are some members here who've been around for many years, and it'd be cool to make a distinction between them and some of the "newer" Legendaries.
