I like how the original concept was PvP instead of Players vs Aegis.

Not that I have a problem with the lack of PvP in Istaria, it would be a nice (optional) concept. (even though this has already been said 'no, not happening anytime soon, if ever')

The whole aging/children thing sounds rather irritating, so I'm glad that wasn't implemented, but there are so many hopes and dreams in this that I can't help but want to make them come true. Same with the races we didn't get - I can't imagine Istaria WITH them, at least, not as it is now.

Hmm, if I wasn't wanting to avoid the US at all costs, applying for work at VI might be fun. XD;

The initial concept is so breathtaking and inspiring! Not saying Istaria lacks that, but it's almost a shell in comparison.
