We’re also going to give players a means to counter his Mana drain at a later date (more on that further below).

Finally, as I said earlier we’ve been looking at better means of offering counter play to Famine + Mana drain in general. With that we’re looking to change the Mana Shield trait to also gain immunity to Mana drain. Now this seems like an obvious solution so why didn’t we do this earlier?

Nim then said the problem was problems with the Adobe Air client, that’s why he said your quoted part of “before we start investigating if this is possible.”

That’s true. It was said in the original thread it’s not a 100% promise. However, they DID say we are going to get a counter to mana drain. Then, they speculated on mana shield being the way, which might not work due to technical difficulties and bugs it might bring.
It doesn’t change a fact they DID promise a counter to mana drain.
