3. Retirement Package

Retirement Package


  • Requirement: Must be level 6+, must have a C-Token, must not have retired a PC within the last month

    Benefits:

    • Choose starting town

    • New PC begins with half of retiring PC's level. Odd levels are added as a half level.

    • New PC receives 500gp multiplied by the retiring PC's level

    • New PC receives magic items with points on the enchantment scale totaling retiring PC's level, with no single item worth more points than new PC's level.

    *NOTE - In regards to the retirement package, full plate costs an additional "1 point" if it's chosen as a retirement item

    • New PC receives 100gp for every 100 ranks in crafting skills that retiring PC has

    • New PC can gain one additional bonus item equal to the new PC's level in points on the enchantment scale if retiring PC retires with all belongings (meaning none are handed out to other PCs). All belongings means all nonconsumables in retiring PC's inventory and personal PS chest (if they have one). MexicanCookie will check logs if you're trying to claim this item with a suspiciously low amount of belongings being retired.

    • Customized equipment is allowed as long as it has no properties (full plate excluded)

    If for any reason you prefer to use the old retirement perks (posted below) instead of the new ones you are free to do so. No mixing and matching rules from old and new. Pick one or the other.

    Please toolset your own custom items and email them to narfellstaff@gmail.com along with your request. The DM team reserves the right to make changes to the name, descriptions, and stats of your items if they don't fit the server setting or rules.

    If you retired a character between March 2012 and November 17th 2012 and would have preferred to have used the new rules please contact the DM team so we can switch over the package. Please note that the switch may require us to repossess your old rules retirement items in order to give you the new ones. Requests to switch packages can be sent to narfellstaff@gmail.com

    If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact a PG, DM, or email narfellstaff@gmail.com

    Rules added/changed. See first post. PM me if you have any questions! 🙂


  • Edited to remove mention of SDM.


  • Updated level adjustments since we start at level 2 now:

    Levels 13-16 = Halfway through 5th
    Levels 9-12 = Halfway through 4th
    Levels 6-8 = Halfway through 3rd

    It used to be:

    Levels 6-8 = Halfway through 2nd


  • Apologies from us, there was a misunderstanding. All of the bulleted items are part of the retirement package, not individual packages to pick from. Corrected and tweaked the original post.

    If you were given an incomplete retirement package, please contact us DM staff.


  • Updated to make it clear that only ONE package, each listed after a bullet, is to be chosen.


  • Updated to clear up language concerning moderate heirlooms.


  • Updated


  • EDIT: Old retirement package listed below.

    After listening to some player suggestions and complaints concerning levels, restarting in Narfell, and other issues the DM Team has put together a Retirement Incentives Package.

    This option will allow players of a high level PC to voluntarily permanently retire that PC and in exchange receive a few bonus’s to a new PC they begin playing. This package is in no way required for high levels to take but is instead presented as an option to those that would wish to do it.

    At this present time if you wish to retire a PC please PM any DM with the details (or send to NarfellStaff@gmail.com) and they will post your request for the DM Team.

    PC Retirement Program

    Players may permanently retire old characters in exchange for the following bonus package for a newly created character.

    • Head Start - New character begins with bonus level(s). What level you begin at is dependent on the level of the character being retired. It goes as follows:

      Levels 13-16 = Halfway through 5th
      Levels 9-12 = Halfway through 4th
      Levels 6-8 = Halfway through 3rd

    • Heirlooms - The new character begins with a number of “heirloom” items, based on level of the retired character. All new characters receive a custom non-magical outfit. Additionally, depending on the level of the retired character you are able to get a number of minor or moderately powered magic items, as follows:

      Levels 13-16 = Two Moderate, OR One Moderate Two Minor, OR Four minor
      Levels 9-12 = One Moderate One Minor, OR three minor
      Levels 6-8 = One Moderate OR Two Minor

      Please note that you are allowed only one option, not the whole line for the level.

      Minor items are up to "3 points" in thenew enchanting system
      Moderate Items are up to "5 points" in the new enchanting system
      (Any ability not allowed through enchanting is not allowed through this system)

      Alternatively, if the new character is related to the retired character, he may substitute items from the retired character as his inheritance. The inherited items still need to conform to the limits above. Guild items are excluded from inheritance, the new character must earn such items normally.

      *NOTE - In regards to the retirement package, full plate costs "1 point" to have as part of your heirloom item

    • Financial Windfall - New character begins with an additional 100 gold per level of retired character.

    • Choice of Childhood - New character can start in any Narfell town, provided his character history fits.

    • Nomination to the Hall of Heroes - The retired character is placed on the monthly nomination list for the Hall of Heroes in our OOC Lobby area. (In the works)

    • Become and NPC - Instead of the hall of heroes a retired character may be placed as an npc into an appropriate place in Narfell. Note that once becoming a NPC you relinquish control as to what that NPC would do to the DM staff. (level 12+)

    Who is eligible for this program?

    • Retired character must be level 6 or higher.
    • PC to be retired must be alive and in your vault (note - this is not an instruction to have long-dead PCs restored and then raised so you can retire them - it is a requirement that the PC be current).

    FAQ

    Q - Do I HAVE to retire my PC? I enjoy him too much to give him up.
    A- Not at all. This is completely voluntary and is something we've created to aid those that wish to retire, not force on those that don't.

    Q - Can I combine retired characters together?
    A - No. Since you can only retire one character a month you can not "Combine" the bonus's of retirement by retiring multiple PC's.

    Q - I already have a character started, can I apply the retirement packages bonuses to him?
    A - No, at the moment the package only applies to newly made PC's.
