Why I choose ....

You can already create character information in your profile, which people can read by right clicking on your toon.
Would be more useful within the forums if it could be accessed from there as well (afaik at the moment it can't), and as people can't comment on it you avoid the inevitable flaming that WILL occur otherwise.

Of course very few people take the time to fill out that information.

I'm aware of the feature and I like that we have it. Like Gorran stated character profiles can be seen by clicking players name on the forums as well, another great feature. I've not filled mine because I've yet to figure out what path my character is going to take, and for the moment my focus has been more toward skills and game mechanics. Reading the old board I'm discovering who she is and where history can influence the homin she can become. So, I will have one ready by the time the boards are added.

Adding the threads I'm suggesting is also a great way for new players that seek information about the options available and how players play their characters in game. Kilgoretrout's post for example; he talks about the early life on Atys long before choosing a faction became law. The very information I read in the old boards that gave me a new perspective of Atys.

After reading those boards I understood players do impact the game, Atys does change. Some players might not understand we are playing in a world that is alive. I've not play in any MMO that gives me this feeling of knowing that at any moment the world I play in can change and impact my character's life. The decision is ultimately mine weather to stay aligned-neutral or unaligned-neutral and live with the restrictions.

What I would like to discuss more on this thread is the concern people have about the threads becoming a means to flame players for the choices they've made. If we can organize ourselves to have a representative of each alignment to start and police a board we can help monitor the posts. I think we can all agree that we want the threads to be only for posting character history/profiles, one post per character and comments are not required. We can also inform the forum moderators of what we want and they'll help.
