Should characters age, retire, and die?

Only if we can have kids that we can control. Retirement options include politics, leading armies, or just opening an inn for adventurers and maybe giving quests.

This is how I play too, this guy is my og druid. Even though he’s been race changed a billion times it’s still the original same character and I just enjoy that.

Same with like The Sims… the generational/super family stuff is so boring to me when I can make a vampire dude that does everything amazing and never dies.

People wont want all the stuff they’ve done to a character to become irrelevant because their character dies of old age or something. And i think that anything you do that allows players to keep their progress/gear/mounts and let it carry over to their offsprings sorta just makes the system pointless.

Its a feature that works in some genres but i dont think it would work in MMO’s.

Absolutely not.

The only reason this game is still active right now is because players are attached to their characters and their achievements.

Sounds pointless.

Even though I’m probably more pro-freedom I still like the train of thought here.

The question is would it make the min-maxers come to the table, be a digital culling of them, or would it just embolden them?

Anyway judging by the responses you definitely hit some truths there.

Are you wanting to play Sims?

Yes, but as long as my character can procreate so I can continue playing the ‘same’ character, but with a different name.

Would be kinda if cool if worked in properly.
