While Joe has clearly addressed the majority of what I was going to say, I'd like to offer a bit more insight.
After this last update, I logged in and there was a new-looking character named Neo on the square. We chatted for a bit about the update, then he brought up a concern to me that Carnage had been massively PKing new players, harassing people, etc. I replied that I had not heard this myself, but would bring it up with him, and wondered aloud if he had maybe mistaken Joseph for Carnage since I had been playing on new characters and experienced Joseph harassing me on several occasions. Neo replied that no, he was sure it was Carnage and that Joseph and given him tons of gear and maybe the person who had been pking me was another player on Joseph. He then launches into a tirade against Carnage and, my suspicions raised, I switch to the admin console to do a check: indeed, Neo and Joseph were on the same account. When Neo realized I knew this, he logged off and I didn't see him on either character again.
xen01, I don't appreciate you trying to trick me. During an alpha test, the only reason we have people playing is so that they can help develop the game by providing feedback and being engaged with the developers.
That said, I don't dislike you at all--if not for your belligerence, the need for an alignment & pk update would probably not have been brought to our attention for some time. If you'd like to continue playing, by all means feel free to do so. If not, we'd be happy to see you at Beta when the community will be much larger, the game will have tons more to do and avatars will be balanced.
Thanks for posting,
Karl
