I agree with most of the stuff you said Hydra except for the fact that 3D items and stuff like that change the game. Right now it looks more like a "dress your Toridoll up" then actual game play. I think the real thing that keeps players coming back is the forums. The forums in my opinion are a great place to talk and exchange ideas, and that is one thing that I don't want to change.

I also think that the amount of new players that stick with the game are getting slimmer and slimmer. And on top of that, a lot of the older players/clans are becoming inactive.

I personally think that Toribash will stay the same, which is not a bad thing.
