Anyways, point being it's some of the best roleplay I've ever experienced/witnessed. During the middle of the ceremony, they were attacked by this rogue player (lone gunman type guy) who killed at least 1/5 of the congregation, before walking out. People were scrambling to protect others' souls and everything (if you die, your soul stays. If your soul dies, perma-death). In the end, everyone was huddled in the library, fending off the attack.
It's pretty neat, but it just wasn't a game I was going to stick with. Navigation was incredibly difficult (no maps or anything) and you had to rely on other players for content (the other example being Face of Mankind, and that just really didn't work out well for me).
However, teachers giving others quests was a cool feature that I wish other games would use.
