long-lived pcs?

[Dakkon Black]

So close to 2 RL years.

*hehe* this somehow seems very strange.

people all seem to live 7 month, 2 years, one and a half year ...

but when i look at the player population, i rarely see someone around longer than 2 month ?

strange, aint it ?

The keyword in the title of that poll is 'average.'

Most of my PC's range about 10-20 days before some really stupid death. My oldest was 57 days and I hope my current will live longer, but.. Who knows.

I go through about one new PC ever 6 months.  Sometimes 2.

The people that use the GDB are not always the same as those who play the game.

The longer lived characters are usually the nobles, merchants, aides, and other city type pc's. Many many of the pc's you will see are the hunters and grunts that do have a high turnover rate, and some of them are the pc's of players who enjoy playing rough and tumble and albeit short lived pc's. There are also players who aren't into the pk/hunting and so tend to live longer.

My longest lived characters have lived so long that all the little 10-15 day characters have no impact on my average lifespan.

[Conspiracy Theory]

My characters tend to live for about as long as I expect them to.

And they're almost all combatty, so that equates to anywhere from a week to six months. At least for me.

Some of these people are saying they have two RL year old characters and it looks like they've only been on this board for a few RL months.  :wink:  Anyway, my longest lived character is actually still alive ,so we'll see where that takes me, but I think anything over 15 days playtime is just enough time for me to really get to know my character.   I'd say 20 days is enough time for me to begin to establish some solid friends.  30 days playtime and about 6 years IG time is about enough time for me to make an impact on zalanthas.

My 3 chars have lasted for lets see...um 3 hours.....um 4 days and my one still alive has lasted for 2 rl months I think so Im proud of  him and myself but its nothing compared to what other people get.

I'm on my second character at the moment.  The first one lasted about 1 week and died to bad water.  The second one has lasted about 3 months so far and is going strong.  Hoping for him to live to a ripe old age :wink:

Not many of my characters live very long at all. Probably because they are all combative. My merchant characters tend to get stored due to boredom.

I don't care what you all say, 240 hours is a LOT of time to sink into a single character. If I think of all the stuff I -could- have done instead of playing Arm for 10 cumulative days, I start to get depressed. Then I remember that I wouldn't be having as much fun and I perk up a bit.
