Thread: RIP SWORDSMAN
Letter
Im pretty upset right now. I know many of you are too.
On the one hand this change might make a better game.
On the other hand thats not the point of this community or the point of my position.
Id like to ask that you all keep a cool head for the time being. Hopefully the devs will listen to myself and the other melee players and we can get something going.
Any news I get I will pass along.

Pleas do not PM the devs or any SOE people with complaints. If you want to voice your opinion do it here, or in that thread.
Lets help them to see that melee players are good people and deserve to stay in the game.
I can only admire your optimism, KreyMerr. I am trying to stay somewhat positive, but I just feel terrible. Melee as we know it is going to be gone. Crafting is likely to take another nerf (Weaponsmith and Armorsmiths anyway, if they're serious about removing decay).
The timing of this announcement right after the sales for the expansion can't be a coincidence. That's just brutal.
Anyway, good luck KreyMerr. I'm counting on you and the other Correspondents to salage this.

I bought the game in August of 2003, but I didn't create my character until that December and I started off as a Medic/Brawler with intentions of being a Doc/Swordsman. I mastered both by late May/early June of 2004 and that's been my template ever since. I used the respec period to try out other professions, but Swordsman/Doc was alwaysthe best fit for me.
What really hurts is that I hadn't fully 'Mastered' either profession until just recently. The same happened this last Spring when I had really gotten to know Doc/Swordsman as well as anyone could and was mostly speed capped with great armor and was making great meds. It seems like every time I finally make it to a 'comfort zone' it gets changed. Except this time I will have to learn an ENTIRELY new profession. Not just new special/food combinations/etc, but new EVERYTHING!
I'm not sure if I want to bother, but I will at least try to keep my hope alive until I can at least test it a bit on Friday.

Aye.
Swordsmen don't run. We stay, fight, and make out enemies dead.
