You make good points - all of you. I get your worries, and I've taken them all into consideration, even before I updated the forums. I'm going to address Jay's comments first, and then on and on.

1. Given it seems a good amount of the userbase wants the question back on the forums, I've decided to add it back, though there will be no guarantees to get the desired house, as from here on out, I want every character to be sorted as accurately as possible.

2. I understand what you're trying to say, but I've opted against changing the requirements. I feel if a user wants to create a character & truly have a connection with them, they should have a good idea as to how their life has played out thus far. The students that are eleven and younger are exempt from the bigger requirements because they usually have short and uninteresting lives, but older students? Certainly something interesting must have happened at some point in their lives. I'm sorry, but there's no chance of me changing the requirements.

3. This is actually an interesting idea, and I'm open to putting it down on the forums.

4. While I see why you want to add them, I feel it would be too much for newbies. The reason why is because most don't read the questions before answering, and (usually) barely meet the requirements, if at all. So in conclusion, I won't be making them mandatory for the first and second characters.

With that answered, I'll be addressing Hecate.

Like I stated above, I'll be adding the question again. However, I did want to mention, because it bothered me a little, that while technically it's the Sorter's choice, my team usually grants the chracter the house written down as most desired, due to the hat listening to character's desires. So... please, don't think we overlook that question. As for your other comment, I've addressed the requirements above. :P
