Author Topic: You're HOW old?! (Read 1189 times)

Just got curious looking at the in Game Time Link and crunched the numbers according to the basic formula, Starting Age + (Current Date - Character Approval Date) using the in game time converter link... Layonara Time Converter

Egads!

Bjornigar Ironguts: Was already pretty old at 132 years in the submission, is now 187. Not too bad for a dwarf.

Farros Galdor: started at the age of 23. Now he's rather venerable at the ripe old age of 82!

Earl Frogstomper: started at the age of 38, now approaching 70! For such an old geezerly human, he's got pretty big muscles. I don't think he can even count that high, so in his heart he'll always be a 14 year old boy, hahah.

Kor Gromak: an old wrinkled orc now pushing 53. All those years in exhile and regenerating his backbone have been good to him.

Grovel Foaming Wolf: 30 year old goblin druid. Not bad at all, but I've only had him for less than a year and 12 years went by in that time.

Kahzrag Gloom: my newbie little dark dwarf started a little over a month ago is a mere babe in comparison to all of these (in dwarf year at least) at 52. That's still about 18 in human years.

Pretty fun stuff. Curious to see how old some of your characters are? Click the link above and dig up those old character submission threads, heheh.

Of course nobody feel pressured to retire on age alone... from the first mention of Bloodstone in the timeline to the day of his death (-825 to 1402) a good 2227 years had passed.

Lin'da started at 120, is now 197.

1390-1435... 45 years. At eighteen when he started, that puts Pyyran at sixty-three.

Remember that there are decent IC reasons to stave off retiring characters for those that absolutely can't stand it... we can't pretend that they are in fact 29 forever, but explanations exist as to why they are not bed ridden

Stretched ones, but at least something to fall back on!

Acacea is about 72, give or take a few as she doesn't know exactly how old she was when she was adopted, hehe. Not really a huge issue for a halfling unless she gains 80 pounds and galleonesque hips upon hitting the century mark.

Shiff is 41 I think? He's still got some years left to kick but and take over... er... something

Hey, Pyyran's rocking the old-man kick. Between the Bindstones and the MASSIVE amounts of divine healing that have been pumped through him, his body has another good forty or fifty years left in it, and half that at adventuring strength.

His soul, on the other hand, doesn't have much left to hold it to Layo.

It is all the healing potions they drink that keeps them young.

Wren start age 100 (young start age for a elf) now 141. Still young and handsome LOL

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #7 on:** July 01, 2008, 06:00:42 pm »

Heh, mine was more of a High Priest of a deity pumping every bit of divine energy he could channel into him, but, y'know. Same thing.

As Tim would say: "Five hundred and something. Wanna make something of it?"

Well, I'd certainly suspect regeneration and healing magic to be a big part of it. The only reason we even age is that our body cells slow down regenerating. Throwing magic into the mix and an occasional curing of disease would effectively boilster your immune system and put some pep in your mitosis cycles. All that cartilidge would grow back into place, an excellent cure for arthritis!

Of course with all the hundreds upon thousands of NPC monster deaths we go through just before level 10, maybe we're getting a wee bit of windfall from Soul Mother for sending her so many tastey Souls. Every goblin tribe vanquished is like sending her a box of chocolates.

Lareth · « **Reply #10 on:** July 01, 2008, 07:34:27 pm »

Ahh.. but sadly all that good healing magic is probably undone by our addicition to haste spells and the like... can't imagine they do the body much good at all.

Carr is about 67. He's been running about for half a century.

For me to calculate Kenelm's I'd need his file's creation date. All I know is that he's over 20.

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #12 on:** July 01, 2008, 09:37:07 pm »

I figure I created my characters not too long after approval - in Pyyran's case, maybe an hour or two. So check the timestamp!

Brue is around 150 or so

Pibemanden · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2008, 03:10:18 am »

Storold started at age 21, he is now about 71, not sure about his precice birthday since I never set one.

Chongo · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2008, 03:27:19 am »

Interestingly enough....

Both Ketil and Abiorn are now 90.

O.o

Must be my circadian rhythm on application ages.

Hellblazer · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2008, 03:47:16 am »

Rain is now 63
Lex is is now 56
Brian is now 39
Sil'via Serissa (also would give the age of Elgon and Ayana In'Darsus since they are triplets) is now 28

Honora · « **Reply #18 on:** July 02, 2008, 06:02:01 am »

Yipes - Corba is 72! Holy smokes. Guess it's a good thing she's mostly retired.

Honora is 56, still able to get out there I guess.

Weeblie · « **Reply #19 on:** July 02, 2008, 06:10:59 am »

Alleina was created as 97 and now has progressed to a full 130.

Years really don't touch elves...
