Title: At what age do you typically retire/kill off characters?
Post by: loren on July 04, 2012, 07:06:44 PM

I was idly curious how other people deal with their characters aging, especially when they get so few hours in their later years.

Despite playing for 6-1/2 years, I haven't had to do it yet. Two of my nobles got killed in battle as heroes, and both my advies got killed by undead champions. My next oldest noble is a hero as well, and I'll probably play him til he gets killed in battle, too.

I've never killed off a character for being too old. The closest I've come was with Delvin, who was in his late 70s in game terms, but with him it was more that the character was tired, and his story was more or less played out.

Alanna's over 80, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to retire her, as such. I keep hoping she'll die in battle someday...she's far too stubborn to just fade away.

Indeed.  Eventually I make my characters Heroes so they'll die in battle.  See Norel, Lelnor, and so on.

I guess you could answer when you decide to make it so they can die too.  Infiltraitor and Hero come to mind.  Incidentally, Gregor was a Hero once.  Probably the only character who was able to switch classes before I checked to see if you could exploit the code and manually call the function.

By the time that my characters have been that old, They are normally so well established that I do not want to let them go.   lol

I typically delete my account when my characters reach maturity.  Then I start at the bottom of the wheel again after a while. :P

Well, before the family home(new pause system) when people got bored of a character they would simply make them Hero/Martyr and....try(because is not always simple) to kill them honorably.

Others used to do stupid things, like seceding, rebelling or just be mean tot he ruler.


Peace!
