But the medals will always go, overwhelmingly, to the minority who send many messages, get up to all kinds of shenanigans, and write novellas of RP. That's just human nature, and I don't see any good way to change it, especially when we have a low player density.
Doesn't that make sense? Why would you want to change it? I mean, the whole point of medals is to award people who make notable IG contributions to the game. If you start awarding medals to people who don't make that contribution by interacting in a good way with their fellow players, you make medals meaningless.

Which leaves with the problem of medals being required to play characters...

The game needs both of these types of players, and everything in between, and medals don't—and won't—reflect that. While it wasn't a bad concept, I think we need to stop using medals to determine who gets extra characters.
I think this is 100% correct.
