clarification on perma death.

Unread post by Vadenor »

I enjoy making evil characters, and then "unmasking them" epically - attempting to anyway, when im not PMing the entire DA faction (oops).

moving on, my first character is nearing his pinnacle; considering his potential list of crimes i imagine....well, they will make sure he stays buried.

what do you have to do to earn perma death status, im aware luna previously stated it is not a perma death server, but outside of people being banned, are there special situation where your character dies permanently?

Just ask a DM. It can be done.

I thought you meant Perma Death like the super hardcore servers where you die once and your done.

When players agree to permanently kill or retire their player characters -- and it is accompanied by good roleplay (for example, after an execution, an assassination, or a fine farewell to friends before riding off into the sunset) -- we offer them a "Retired Character Rebuild (RCR)."

What an RCR entails is a transfer of the retiring character's items and gold to a new character, which is built at 1/2 experience points.

The new character can have no relation to or knowledge of the retiring character.

RCRs encourage players to retire characters who have essentially "jumped the shark" (that is, who have outlived their utility and plot production) -- where they might otherwise be reluctant to retire the character if they had to hard start a new character from level 1.
