DonathinFrye, thank you.

I will plan to add additional staff members if the playerbase grows. Having played a few RPI's, I saw the strain it took on some staff members, however those were MUD's where I felt the staff tried to keep too much control over what was going on.

I think applications for characters that want specific roles before they begin playing is a good idea, but some people just want to get on and play, in which case if they wanted to assume a certain role, they would have to try and earn it in game. To begin with, I would prefer that people take on specific roles, and I'll probably offer them with details on the forums. There needs to be a starting social dynamic for the game to kick off properly. So ideally I'd like a law enforcer, a couple of council members, the innkeeper and a few master crafters, as well as a destabilising element like a thief. But people will be able to play multiple characters as long as they don't help one another in any way.
