This kind of thing always seems to happen when there are a lot of players trying to come together.  Once the group gets together it will probably split into several groups.  If that happens the way I think it will then we'll end up with two or three parties operating with different priorities.  I know that one is probably going to prioritize profit and fun.  Another will probably be more driven to beat the butt hair off of a certain programmer.  Characters with different views on how to live inside the game will likely have a hard time working together well.

On another note, I had a pair of characters, close friends, in mind for this too.  I may even include them later on.  But, they wouldn't fit right now and we have enough parts to wait on.  The soonest that I could even offer to add them would be after we pass Floor 20 because of the quests and skills that they had under their belt.  Speaking of Floor 20, I think that I should help out with maps.  There's 98 more field Floors and a castle on top.  I don't want to dump that whole mess on any one person.[@Zelosse]
