Wondering if I could merge my article with this one. I swear that I searched and searched to see if it was here, but somehow I skipped over this, and now we have two ATITD articles. I'll merge some in, but no major stuff without your approval. --Pastor of Muppets

Why is this game "controversial" as is stated in the first sentence? I can certainly see "different" or something like that, but controversial strikes me as odd. Also, I think that any article referring to a subject as controversial should have a heading descibing the controversy. Imsdal 13:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

-- I dont really see what's contraversial about the game either. It's infact somewhat of a "carebear" game (I dont mean that as an insult btw, I adore the game). There was the ingame riot over a gender experiment, but really all of these games have the odd eyebrow raising incident. The funeral massacre on WoW springs immediately to mind. Also, I think it might be nice to tone down the hyperbole. I really do love the game, but I think it does the game no justice for its article to be so gushing. Words like "humongous" and "egypt in all its glory" are not encyclopedic really. Otherwise, a great article for a great game. Duckmonster 12:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

The trader was very controversial at the time, in-game riot or not, and there's the Test of the Demi-Pharaoh, which gives PLAYERS the ability to ban other players without objection from eGenesis. (Teppy has stated that if a DP wants a player banned, it will happen, period.)

For references to the Trader Malaki, see here:

The Trader Malaki was widely discussed and hit slashdot and a number of other publications less focused on MMO gaming.

The Test of the Demi-Pharaoh is also found in the ATITD2 wiki. --66.92.76.65 15:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
