I can understand that you want to get ungroggy fast, most of us do, but if you do it the "spend x amount of gold and you arent groggy anymore" way. the very next thing that will happen is the free players and the people who somehow cant seem to make any money will cry "no fair no fair" because they dont have the money. then disney will change it for them and the downward spiral begins.

Prior to this game i played EQ2 since launch. In the beginning of the game, when you died, you would leave a "shard" in the place you died. Until you retrieved that shard you would have reduced stats. it was a pain in the butt. the people who didnt have a lot of time to play or that were just plain bad at the game complained that it was too hard. some of them cried real tears, i heard them on our vent server. they changed it so you would just have to get to the area and you would automatically reabsorbe your shard. Simple enough? well, not for the ones who couldnt grasp the concept. then they made it so you could buy your shard back for 20 silver. seriously 20 silver. i could accidentally make 20 silver in 3 seconds. this still wasnt good enough for the complainers. so fast forward to today....when you die, you revive and thats it. minus a small revive sickness, that lasts for one minute. there is now no penalty.

sorry for the length, but i do enjoy a good story.
