Yes when i first came on gk in december it was ridiculous. Nearly every single day there were either monsters in trade, or the postoffice, or something, and i lost every single one of the 15 diamonds i started out with to summoned monsters. Maybe if it was just re-engineered so that its not possible to summon 100s of monsters at once. The mana regen capping is a joke, it just means you have to pay for mana crystals to kill players under the impression that they are in 'safe' areas.

Why flute songs work for summoned monsters is beyond me. It seems the spell was specifically designed for laming. In houses or not, Many people have zero chance of survival either way.

The server going down is certainly an issue, but one with atleast a temoprary solution. The loss of items is less amenable to quick and dirty solutions, as either no one is willing to investigate, or there just isnt any good way to determine the losses. Not to mention the fact that im sure being repeatedly lamed in your first few seconds of existence as a non-gold player is going to lessen your desire to make a return visit, much less move you to pay to play the game.
