If you've played a role in the more recent storylines, you may have come across a time where you were randomly attacked by the environment by a volley of arrows, or some other weird contraption of sorts. This is to add depth and flavor to the world. But sometimes, that doesn't translate well to people just getting back into GS for the first time in years and on a trial or lower level characters.
These random occurrences will now, by default, avoid our trial accounts and characters level 10 and below.

Something id like to see that would add depth is when storms come in, be them just random or gm initiated just to create weather, or part of invasions is flying debri that can cause damage. We have severe weather in R/L all the time that sends people running. Yes howling winds and severe storms in GS do nothing but send stinging rain or ice. It would be cool if tree limbs or large hail came that would do minor damage, or possibly more. Of course id expect some resistance with age and some spells. But its an easy way to get the empaths and others working in towns when none are around or populations are sparse. Set of a severe storm and a tornado or something.. regardless of invasion or part of it.

Meh, thats Teras, something is always falling from the sky there! Yea during invasions too even. I meant more like no invasion, just general weather.. rip loose a thunderstorm with a tornado that just wreaks havok. Could be the tornado is like a critter an can be dealt with but as a whole its just a natural event. Unrelated to stories or anything. I get tired of people running to defenses when they hear a storm thinking invasion. Sometimes realistically they should run for shelter as storms do alot of damage just on their own. I would however be cool if you could try an use magic to stop the tornado or hail damage.. or if people standing around outside or in towers just get sucked up into a tornado and randomly dropped places out in the wilds with minor damage.
Heh, I think it would be rather cool if no matter your training its all the same.. you get sucked into a tornado and dropped outside town in some random hunting area close by with a broken arm, or leg. etc..
I can almost hear the protests though if it ever came to be.
