It is true that all this talk may discourage some players to create characters in Itaulond.
However, in the end, if you want to create a character in some random realm and take it from there; you will. On the other hand, if you want to gather information and choose a realm that will suit you particular desires for this character, you will also do so.
The forum is OOC, and facultative. It would be too restrictive to avoid these comments. It is not an instruction manual, it's more of a slower-paced chatroom.
