Well, about the issue with 'non-combat' challenges, it's somewhat difficult to pull off in a universe where the majority of the challengers are people who simply want to either 1) eradicate the Realm of Light or 2) oppress its citizens.
I'll admit, the KQ did get a nice change of pace with the Oogie Boogie battle (some might argue that the jail scene would count as a 'non-combat challenge', but honestly, the entire thing was an FMV xD), but that's quite a rarity of its own in this universe- Oogie is one of the few villains who doesn't actually battle (maybe the only? I can't remember... Luxord might count, but you fight him with only one person, so the odds of him taking on an entire quest in a puzzle game are... slim).
I apologize if, with Seymour, it came off as too commanding when he was saying it would be unwise to stay and attempt to free them. That was my way, as a mod, of hinting that doing so would be a waste of time- if there had been another way of freeing them, the investigation would have at least been possible, but the only way to free them is to destroy Ooze, so it would have been a totally fruitless endeavor. As a moderator, I personally didn't see that being very fun, or even developmental, at all, so I tried to sway you against it.
Essentially, it comes down to what we can even implement in the given universe- and this given universe is Kingdom Hearts. While the varying regions and characters offer a rather extensive variety, the actual playstyle can essentially be narrowed down to 'Mash X, with the occasional Cure/Cura/Curaga'.
We're trying to incorporate more objective-based... well, objectives, and hopefully the other side of the island will provide some air to breath, combat-wise (though a few minor skirmishes are to be expected, of course). There will be combat, sure, but even then, the larger battles will have a bit more... strategy involved. Trust me, we don't want it to be nothing but fight-fight-fight, it's just been the only way to keep that side active so far.

These are all good points . . . maaaaaaybe I can offer some suggestions that are hopefully helpful? Maybe downtime activities will help? I mean, instead of everyone just sitting and talking, or two people going off and doing their own thing. Mind you, when you say "downtime" I think of our KQ train scenes where people are just lounging around or some are training and whatnot. Maybe instead of having something like that there could be something that you are all doing together. You could have a . . . foood fiiiiight? Go surfing? Make a human rope to get out of a giant crevace? (My vote totally goes to Mizu's idea >.> )
I dunno, that's probably not helpful, I don't know if it would work.
BUT, on a seperate note, I just wanted to mention something. After thinking about it, I realized that HA is getting a little dark, particularly on the KQ side. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the action, I love the ideas and devious plots, but I don't want things to get too carried away. I dunno, some of you guys will probably argue the hell out of this with me, but I just want to nab this before it could turn into an issue. I think it's great that we're exploring a few areas of the darkness and evil concept and, as we are writers, many of us in this for more than the fun, I encourage it. It's good writing exercise to take on some Cormac McCarthy and delve into what makes the darker side of life what it is. But at the same time, we gotta know where to draw the line, we don't need HA turning into Child of God . . . not that it ever would; .____.
Anyway, like I said, I'm all for the strife and conflict, we just have to nod to the Disney side of things every once in a while and have a plot or a world that's a little more goofy and light hearted, something I hope to see in the future. Suggestions for this stuff are much appreciated. :3

On a lighter note... ALL EARTHLINGS IN THE KING'S QUEST AND QUEEN'S QUEST GET A LEVEL UP!That's 9 additional stat points to distribute. Keep in mind, no stat may increase by more than 2 points, and you cannot surpass your Stat Limit (for level 3, which we all are now, that would be 10) without using a Passive or Limit. When you have your increased stats, just post them up in the Heartfelt Adventure: QSD thread.

I have a question: Since we're more in the Hawaiian side of the world we're currently in- can my dressphere stay the same even when I summon my book- epsecially since I DON"T need the gear on- just my book?
The reason I'm asking is because Its for practical pictomancy, not combatant this time.
The dresspheres are responding to our needs right? In the past it's edited itself accordingly.
What I need now is freedom and less bulk and no obscuring helmets.
Will it compensate me as it always has?

No, you will still transform, just as while in Halloween Town/Beast's Castle, we were constantly in Halloween Garb. However, to my knowledge, even the Ranger Suits can remove their helmets, so that could be your 'non-battle' version.
The rules of the costume changes must stay- we couldn't just get out of costume in HT, among other places. It just doesn't make sense if we can violate the rules for convenience, otherwise Sora probably wouldn't have stayed a lion in the Pride Lands. But thanks for asking ^^

Hi guys, I've descided to make a descision towithdraw from the rp, It hasnt been the same for me after the restart and i havnt really been able to get into it. I've lost my passion for it if i'm honest, with my animation course taking up alot of my time, and uni being as hetic as it is, i really don't think i can juggle all that plus be a regular here, some people can do it easier than others, but i think it's time for me to say goodbye.
Yeah, I think it's time, i'm leaving. I'll still be around, updating my art page, still drawing fanart, still roaming and lurking, i just wont be in the rp.
I'm glad that i've contributed the way that i have and well, i don't wanna feel on the spot too join in, i'd rather be in or out and not on the edge, being forced in cus of inactivity issues. I hope you understand x

On a brighter note, I return! I'll also be picking up Touhou ~ Inevitable Return again, so if you're in that, I'd love some activity there!

*speechless* I feel like I've let you down Enji chan, you were always my inspiration and my motivation, an i don't think i've ever bonded with anyone so closely before. I'm really happy i got to rp with you, I think it's just HA in general after it got delted, i think a apart of me died, that passion i had all those years ago dissolved, stolen promise was a comic i didnt have copies of so all of that is gone too. Kinda scarred me XP I think when i find it again i'll return. smile
