Dorganath - 6/6/2006 6:05 AM That characters will not be transferable has also been known for a long time. What is meant by a character wipe is a decision on whether or not existing characters will be allowed to be recreated in the next version of Layonara, or if people must create all new characters. Clearly the process is much different, but experience, status, and whatever else a character may have accumulated could in theory be returned to the new character. Whether or not this happens has yet to be decided, but it is the topic for another thread.
OneST8 - 2/7/2006 7:12 PMWhen the world migrates, it'll be the start of a "new age" and all the current characters will become part of the "history of the current age" in some way. For instance Epic characters will become "Legendary" and their "children" will potentially inherit various things from their epic bloodline. (Possibly things like: Fort Raynold, Ashley Temple of Katia, etc where the decendants are the keepers of those places and must defend their bloodline.)

"ye wanna learn da riddle oh da steel lad? git yer ah pickaxe and start chippin!"Also, one must bribe him with some tavern food or a big fat mutton for him to even initialize the quest As for new Characters, beware Ogzughimmal, Zigfried the Bardarian and Gromak Kneesplitter... They are insane.
