Sure WE know we have to be closer. We've been playing for ages. But when the game goes "live" new players need to learn these things. Immediate info is better than a list of guidelines & rules. It's a small compromise.
And they've changed it!
"Before, you had to be close to someone to give them something or to bestow a Random Kindness. Now, you don't. Action at a distance!"
Thank you!
I sometimes like to use the bestow random kindness thing to see who's in the room. Like in the enchanted forests, where you can't see otherwise. I'm glad they didn't make it impossible to see who is there.
And I am even more glad I don't have to act like a doofus and chase around after the people I want to be nice to!
