Before I start this post I want to make it crystal clear that if the replies spiral into the usual Theren sux Quarel sux theme the thread will be immediately closed. Keep that in mind please.
I want to post a few a thoughts on the banned list, how it came to be and how I believe it has gotten crazy. Let me start by saying in the good old days people got banned for extraordinary reasons, killing a royal, noble or guild leader. If they weren't banned a few of them got guild consequences or even prison time that was longer than most people would stand for now based on the complaints I am seeing from a few deportations. A few additional bans were added as time went on but mostly the list was short and easily handled. Then the Necromancer guild was released and it was no longer a matter of a GMPC necromancer that went back to his tower/lair/cave, it was a bunch of necromancer PCs all over the place. The long established RP for necromancers has always been they are outside the law/banned. So when confronted with this influx of necromancers all over the place, Therengian PCs wanted to know how to handle things and were told nothing has changed necromancers are not welcome in Therengia. They wanted a clear cut answer and they got one. Things went along for a while this way but the necromancer PCs didn't much care for the ban so they brought in help which got the help added on to the ban. Still things were not so bad, as for the most part the necromancers and their help knew when to call it a day and go back to doing what ever it is they do when not being evil in Therengia.
