: Go for it!

: I went down to level 5 with a much less skilled/less armoured party and
: came out in one piece.  You do have to expect to lose a party member though.
: As you get deeper there are more chances of running into the "one-hit-will-kill"
: type monsters.  Turn to stone, and that kind of thing (it happened to a friend).

I used to play in the KJC UK version of this game a few years ago
(Game 5 Beauty + Nightjewels for those who care).  Basically the game
degenerated into "Whose alliance is the toughest?  Who's group is capable of
beating the Nightjewels/Primevals/etc." I got bored stiff after getting more
flamemail from the 5th group I wiped out.  Just wondering, how big are the
changes which have happened in the last few years?  I remember that it took
forever to buy equipment, equip a party then go off searching for a dungeon
about 4 weeks away in Real time.  Are any PBeMs like this around ?
