My current character is the thirteenth on this account over the course of about a year.  On my old account, in 2001, I think I might've had five or six over the course of six months or so.

Statistics wise, of the twelve dead/stored characters on this account, there are nine dead, three stored.
Title: Re: What # charecter are you on?
Post by: Lizzie on July 04, 2008, 11:33:02 AM
I'm on character #6.

First one - stored after around a RL month.
Second - lived over a RL year, murdered.
Third - gemmer, dead after around a RL month.
Fourth - dead, around a RL month.
Fifth - dead a little more than a RL month I think.
Sixth - alive and kicking going on a few RL months now.

edited out the "cause" of death on all but the 2nd since it's more than a year ago.

Title: Re: What # charecter are you on?
Post by: Maso on July 04, 2008, 12:38:19 PM
I remember when I first got my account notes. And for my first character is said - Killed by a pot bellied gurth, Amen. I was so embarrassed I felt the need to clarify it was actually a pot bellied gurth -AND- a raptor. There was definately a raptor. The poor wannabe-literate, fair-skinned, freckle endowed, dress wearing Ranger.

Since then I've had death by raider (whoop!), death by scrab, death by assassination (yay), death by 'rinth NPC, death by carru, and for my longest lived - death by templar execution. Sniff. That's all I can garner from my account notes, but after that there was a couple of death by NPC baddies, one magnificently animated Silt Horror and a storage (not out of lack of enjoyment, however, wasn't actually a bad character.)

41 or 42 since 2000 (I was a bad newb).  Stored around 10, including my half-giant merchant.  Killed off another 5 because I didn't want to wait for storage.  2 insta-deaths in less than 5 hours.

Six characters in three and a half years or so.

PC 1 - Died virtually after being sent to birth a mul for Borsail.
PC 2 - Died in a Kuraci RPT fighting gith (my first experience with combat spam!)
PC 3 - Died in a plot to blow stuff up in Red Storm.
PC 4 - Died because Lesavius Oash thought she was plotting to kill him.
PC 5 - Stored because her clan was closing.

Hooray!  Keep up the good work.



I've got about 130 since 2001.  I've actually cut down on how much I play the last few years because the number of dead PCs was getting embarrassing, y'know, so I don't become the next Delerak.  My PC can't die if I never log in!


Sure, I could just take safe city roles to slow the death march, but I like solo-rangering too much for my own good.

I could be wrong, but I think it keeps track of all characters since we switched to the accounts system, and I'm not sure when that was (a little before my time).  Before people would just make a character and not have an account (sometime before 1994 that's the oldest character I could find.)

some stats!

12 characters in eight years

3 warriors
3 rangers
2 templars (one north, one south)
2 assassins
2 whirans

8 humans
2 elves
1 mul
1 half-elf

PC 1:  died to a scrab because I forgot to redraw my sword, sad.

PC 2:  a unit of mutants!

PC 3:  died within four hours of play in the 'rinth

PC 4:  whacked by my own buddies to repay a debt, bastards.

PC 5:  Killed by [something nasty and awful and IC and such -Nyr] he unwittingly caused to be summoned!  OH NO!

PC 6:  stored

PC 7:  Carru'd

PC 8:  Fell into the silt sea

PC 9:  Wezer'd

PC 10:  Raiding attempt gone terribly wrong.

PC 11:  Backstab'd


5 deaths by ginka

3 deaths by PCs

2 deaths by immortal controlled NPCs

so only 50% automated death, pretty good I think.

Causes of death, is it? ..Crap, I can't really remember all the ways that my 80 something plus characters have died!

So!  I'll run through some highlights:

1. Carru'd (mostly my delves)
2. Scrab'd
3. Beetled (Drove beetles!)
4.Wezer'd (just once..and once is enough!)
5. Poisoned (puked their guts up)
6. Eaten by a mekillot
7. Fell off a cliff (with a whiran, no less)
8. Torn apart by [something awful and IC] (at least I think it was..character was blinded, at the time)
9. Killed by Kryl (movement lag and bad connection caught up to me at the worst time)
10. Sent into the arena (character was less than two hours old.  Had fun RPing their surprise at waking up, naked, outside the walls)
11. NPC killers in an unsavory place
12. Raptors!
13. Burninated
14. Struck by lightning
15. Turned into Halfling chow

...many, many more, that I can remember, but you get the idea.

I've had a few characters. Average length of play is well over 3 months and something like 40 days playtime, though the range is 1 week-ish to 1-year-ish (4 days to 80+ days).

Of the PCs with closure:

25% died to non-imm-animated NPCs.
37.5% stored.
37.5% died to PCs in close relationships. (You know that old saying that it's those who love you that will kill you...yep.)

I surmise from this data that having deep character relationships is non-boring, yet dangerous.

Average time played: 37d and some change, though this is skewed because out of all those listed above, only two even made it past a few days.
Longest time played: 176d and a few hours.
Shortest time played: I think one of the warriors was 4 hours old.

1 stored
1 dead by poison
1 dead by hilarious aggro stilt lizard
1 dead by murder
1 dead by whatever mysterious things happen to elves when they're linkdead
1 splattered by her buddy in a fighting tournament

1 dwarf

I am over one hundred now, the low three digits.

In my defense I started playing when I was 12 years old, and lost a ton of characters just trying to figure out the game.

That being said...I tend to suicide rather than play with crappy stats. I will take average stats, but crappy (below average/poor stats) chracters turn into scrab/halfling food instantly. I play for fun, not as a chore, if I wanted to be below average, I would just break my own leg IRL, and hobble around like I have purpose.

So, I would say maybe 1/3 of those were suicides.

Some stores.

A ton of stupid deaths.

A lot of good, well played PC deaths.

I can only think of one bad/twinkish PC death ever, I was sapped off a barstool in the middle of a conversation with the barkeep.

I have never had a Ginka death I dont think. The machine must like me or something.

I think after my current PC dies, I'm going to roll up about 5 characters and suicide them, just so I can get into the double digits with all you people.

Or just carry on with the nifty roles you tend to churn out?

Personally..

Assassin - Stored - 60+ days
Ranger - Killed trying to flee a sand raptor carrying a log - 10+ days
Warrior - Killed falling down a certain well in the rinth - 3+ days
Ranger - Killed after serving through the Copper War and surviving a LOT of Tuluki politics - 20+ days
Warrior - Stored - 10+ days

Causes of DETH:

PC1 - Warrior - Beetled - About 25 days played
PC2 - Assassin - 'Rinth NPC (very, very embarrassing. Guy had potential...) - One awesome, -awesome- RL week played
PC3 - Warrior - Stored - Can't really remember days played.
PC4 - Burglar - Murdered by staff-animated NPC (One of my top game experiences) - 4 days or so played. Felt a lot longer.

I'm pretty far up there, I'll have to check when I think about it later. Double-digits anyway.
Let's see...

Died to just about every npc animal I can think of...except maybe a tregil, jozhal, or rat.
Have fallen off just about everything...cliffs, holes, wells, buildings, mid-air, etc. ( I too have lost a whiran to falling off a cliff. There were  circumstances surrounding that which caused it...but I think it's too ic to discuss here.)
BBQ'd.
Starved. (Fell asleep in RL while resting my pc and woke up just seconds before death.)
Drunken typo deaths a few times.
Teleported into "bad places" and died. Many very interesting places...can't really reveal a few of them.
Suicides due to boredom and a lack of patience to wait for a store. (I'm ashamed of this really.)
Murdered. (It's Armageddon, that's just gonna happen. :) )
Poisons. I'm not 100% but I think I've lost a pc to just about every type of poison that can cause death.
Cut into pieces. Not by a wielded weapons either.
I'm positive there are a ton of other interesting ways I've lost pcs but I just can't think of them right now.

I applied for an account. Made a character. Then didn't log in for a month. Then got back, logged in. Chose starting city, got overwhelmed, quickly logged out, spent two days reading any documentation I found.. Spent a few days having fun and then... <A year didn't pass, IC, but a very stupid and funny newbie mistake>

Applied second character. Rocked. Played for two weeks. Got my first karma. Real life got me. Couldn't even log in for 30-40 days. Disconnected mentally from the character. Retired.

This is my third. Not enough player interaction. Sorrily the role's fit for player interaction. I'm thinking of retiring the character and applying a more solo-suitable role, but only after I receive my second karma. I hope I get it soon.

I don't think I'm even to 15 yet. Most of mine stay in the city and live forever.

1) Scrab(maybe lived 3 hours)

3) Another warrior, Byn/Kadius
4) I think I played a dwarf next, stored
5) Another warrior, Byn/Kadius
6) merchant maybe? Human def. Maybe worked for Nenyuk?
7) HG. Tenneshi. Had 5 babies at once. Stored
8) Another warrior, Byn/Kadius


Uh... I think there's more. I can't remember. That roder is probably off too... I've been playing since 2001... Though I took a break from 2004-DragonCon2008

No.2 - Love you too, tarantulas - human ranger
No.3 - Gah. - human ranger - tired 4am typo'd death, she had great potential too (that'll teach me)
No.4 - Alive.

4) A 'rinther who died to a random 'rinth pc.
6) Kuraci Fist recruit, killed by a silt-horror during A Big Event.
15) A 'rinther, killed by another PC for a good reason IIRC.
16) Allanaki militiaman killed by a suicidal dwarf.
20) Tarantula who thought militia PC uniforms taste good.
23) Stored.
25) Starved to death during computer problems. -_-
26) Tarantulas.

2) Current.

I only have about 25 or so appendages from which I can count... and its definitely more than that in the two years I've been playing.

Beginning as a code-based character, it was hard not to test my limits, and end up with death to scrab. Since then, I've learned a few tricks to keep alive, like don't walk until you have 20 stamina. Always have a mount. You know, the basics.

Post by: Larrath on December 13, 2008, 11:39:05 AM
I'm currently playing #29.
1. Human burglar - shoplifting in the middle of the city, in front of a soldier.
2. Half-elf assassin - attacking a worker in the Tuluki fields.  With help from his newly made Rukkian friend. Yeah.
3. Human ranger - ran into the Tal-Zen tunnel.  35 times.
4. My most brilliant character concept ever - a Tuluki escaped slave adopted as a child by a former Tor scorpion who went to retirement in Tuluk.  Was so thrilled by stories about Allanak he just HAD to go there and join the Tor academy. They didn't want him, though. I forget how he died.
5. My famous Borsail aide.  Lirathan'd.
6. Human warrior Militia-wannabe.  Spider'd.
7. Human ranger.  Halfling'd.
.
.
9. 'Rinthi elf burglar. Thrown into the Arena for thievery, and managed to escape the Arena as the templar came into execute him personally.  Made it out to the street where he was captured by soldiers.  Stupid flee. :(
10. Human warrior Tor/Borsail guard. Kicked out of the academy for defiance, and turned to raiding.  Killed by his own Sergeant in the Arena.
11. Kadian Agent.  Made it from the Red Desert to Tuluk, on foot, wearing nothing but pants and boots, surviving an encounter with a hostile Elkran, only to return home and be apartment'd.
12. Tenneshi houseguard. Also killed by his own Sergeant, and his good-for-nothing dwarf companion.
14. Human Vivaduan.  Something stupid.
15. Human Vivaduan in Kadius. Beautifully Lirathan'd.
16. 'Rinthi elf Whiran. Thrown into the Arena with a couple of newbies and NPCs.  Played the PCs against each other -and- against the NPCs while running around the Arena, until he bargained safe passage out with a templar.  Silt sea'd.
17. Human Atrium Host.  Awesome fellow, eventually stored from massive burn-out.
18. A young human Krathi gemmer in Oash.  He had a really awesome death.
19. Drovian aide.  Nearly managed to escape after being found-out, but a sandstorm forced his escort to abandon him and the Templars caught up.  Pit of spikes'd.
20. Salarri Agent gone Junior Advisor.  Did something really really cool and got publicly executed for it.
22. Rogue human Drovian. Got killed by something that kills a lot of aspiring young magickers.
23. Kadius crafter. The people were good, but I wanted to explore some more.
26. 'Rinth human Nilazi.  Sacrificed a guy, once.  Got killed because of power struggles.
27. Stored after a month or so.
28. Same as above.
29. Alive and kicking.

#1 - human fire cleric, died to Tuluki soldiers (lesson learned: "easing the passage" of next-to-dead NPCS to the afterlife is still against the law)

(long break)

#2 - human fire elementalist, died to a Blackmoon mul on the North Road
#3 - human fire elementalist, died to a pair of newbie scammers that led him into the forest to hunt halflings
#4 - human fire elementalist, died to a Kuraci outrider north of Luir's
#5 - human fire elementalist, died to a Blackmoon mul on the North Road (this was just after the code change in which NPCs started rushing PCs in adjacent rooms)
#6 - human fire elementalist, died to a half-giant PC while idle in his temple during the siege of Allanak (I suspect the then-staff was involved, having decided I was purposefully letting him go hungry to improve the odds of failing castings and so increasing skills; truth was, I didn't know hunger had any effect on this)

(nuts to fire elementalists, never played one again)

#7 - half-elf ranger, died in a bar fight at Flint's against a mul arm-wrestler that pissed him off
#8 - human warrior, long-lived, died to a Allanaki templar, his half-giants, and his half-fire-elemental friend (they coordinated this OOCly, I later discovered)
#9 - human warrior, Kuraci, long-lived, retired in his prime

(long break)

#10 - human ranger, Red Storm native, died at the south gate of the village along with several soldiers, defending against a mekillot
#11 - human burglar/bard (actually more of a Kuraci merchant), pounced on by the staff and retired after I logged in with him after a few years of inactivity

(long break)

#12 - human ranger/tinker, Red Storm native and low-ranking Kuraci, retired
#13 - human vivaduan/jeweler, died to a rogue fire elementalist (come to think of it, I've never had a good experience with a fire elementalist)
#14 - half-elf drovian/tinker, tried to pass for human, didn't work, retired
#15 - dwarven warrior/physician, short lived, died confused in the silt
#16 - dwarven merchant/guard, actually was a fairly competent mercenary in the Byn for a while, split off to further pursue his focus but it turned into a grind so I retired him
#17 - human whiran/archer, died the Whiran Silt Death
#18 - human vivaduan/linguist, embroiled in a dispute with a fire elementalist (a blasted fire mage, again!), retired
#19 - human merchant/stoneworker, created with the intent of making a master stoneworker but an insulting incident in the Gaj (plus being the one character I've had with amazing stats) drove him to join the Byn to toughen up, died there in a fit of rage attacking another Bynner after being knocked out in sparring and having a piece of kalan fruit wedged up his butt as a "joke"

The last two are too recent.

I would imagine that the reason many folks have lots of characters is that a lot of them died after very little time in-game. So I believe that people will remember the characters who lived a long while and got a chance to develop, but the random rangers in between are probably just a blur  ;D

I personally have a ten day curse.  Upon the tenth day played, if I'm out and about, I will find some way to die, be it an insanely beasted out bamuk, or a clutch of mantis chilling outside the gates of 'nak.  The only way to stay alive for the tenth day, is to camp, if I avoid the tenth day curse I tend to live for quite a while afterward (by my standards at least)

I personally have a ten day curse.  Upon the tenth day played, if I'm out and about, I will find some way to die, be it an insanely beasted out bamuk, or a clutch of mantis chilling outside the gates of 'nak.  The only way to stay alive for the tenth day, is to camp, if I avoid the tenth day curse I tend to live for quite a while afterward (by my standards at least)

I'm on 26 pc's now or so.

Any anniversary, major milestone, description change, or like situation is a day of extreme caution.

Once you've dodged Ginka's stalking sense of irony, you should be okay until the next time around.

I had a favorite, years-old character die nearly at the stroke of midnight on April Fools'.

And some before they even started listing your past characters.

And some before you even needed an account to apply.

So probably over a hundred, in 14 years. I should look over all my old bios! Yikes! Sounds like a task.

#59 on this account, and if I could ever remember the name/email/password of the one I had long ago before I took my 10-month hiatus, I had somewhere close to 80 dead with one stored PC. Yes, I have this unnatural ability to find death is absolutely everything of Armageddon, but I also have this knack for finding some of the most dangerous fun in those times. Adventure in Armageddon is simply unmatched and prevents me from settling in the city-states for too long, unless I simply have an outrageous concept I must use in the city.

Why did you store the sorcerer?
Was wondering the same thing. After 2 days too.. lol, should've just had it killed. Also, 9 karma in 15 characters is pretty damn cool.

Take it to the long liver thread.

Haha, strangely, I do find it hard to die. I actually tried 'suiciding' two characters because I just dreaded logging on to both, but in a realistic manner. Ended up storing one and the other managed to piss off like 20 people (and flee), survived a lot of exploration, got almost all food and water stolen but managed to find more, and after 3 days of stupid behavior, at least 5 times getting thrown in jail, he was mysteriously assassinated. How the hell do you guys lose so many chars?

I'm on number 13. Ominous. In something like 3 years or so. But I had a character span 1.5-2 years of that. Mostly my regular characters live to at least 3-10 DP, with my longest at 60+ DP. I don't tend to have any inbetweeners. The character that survived is really the only one I actually wanted to continue playing after 10 DP.

Did I answer this somewhere in the last nine pages?  About eleven for me since 2006.  About nine months off in the middle, but, contrariwise, most of the play time spent on four characters.

Though my longest played on a PC so far is only about 13 days.

The first 7 were on a different account. After that first 2 weeks, I decided I wasn't a stupid newb anymore, and didn't want my first characters to lend weight against my account notes, cause I was gunning for some Karma and magicks.

And I'm proud to say I've never played an Aide.

Came close once though. I was in that etiquette school in Allanak (the Atrium?) and I got so bored I took to urinating in strange places when the nobles came to visit. Most boring role ever, IMO. I've gotta be able to risk my character, or else I can't appreciate getting anywhere. To me, there's nothing fun about living forever.

When people refer to 'days' on the GDB, it's typically "days played," which is the total number of RL hours your character has been logged in to the game.

Heh, my first character was like mid-to-high-twenties-something days played and lived for like 8 RL months (if I recall correctly). The usual is that first characters die quickly, but sometimes that's not the case.

..or the fact that you WILL die from starvation and dehydration.
..that often, when you're hunting the wild-life, it's hunting you back.
..Templars and Soldiers are NOT upholds of the common law.  Only their own, and the laws their supperiors give them.
..that boots are made to be taken from newbies and held onto by older characters..for a few days, until and even older character takes them away.  "There's always a bigger fish"
..that exploration is one of the surest ways of getting yourself killed.  And thinking that you're completely safe inside city walls.
..thinking that that guy offering to show you back to his apartment to give you some food/water/equipment, really is just trying to help you out, and not murder you for your boots.
..Seventy-five 'sid is NOT worth going out to bag a silt horror.
..'sid mining is NOT a sure and safe way of making coin.
..Rembering that the wild-life mentioned above lives off of a diet of newbie characters (and the occasional olderster).  Plan accordingly.
..Zalanthan raptors are master trackers, and possibly twinked out psionicists in disguise, who can track you from one end of the Known World to the other..and, mostly likely, beyond.  Anyone been able to confirm the rumors that they can walk across the surface of the Silt Sea?
..Don't drink the cleaning liquids.
..Never, ever, go anywhere near the Shield Wall while you're a member of the Byn.  It might be tradition, but it will shorten your character's life span, considerably.  Then again, having a character survive the fall and sudden stop at the end should give some sort of achievement on your account, imo.

cast 'mon un GDB thread necro'
First character made in May of 2002.

38 total
1 alive
13 stored (my secret shame)
24 dead

2 pickpocket
10 warrior
4 ranger
1 burglar
2 assassin
1 merchant
2 Rukkian
3 Vivaduan
2 Drovian
3 Whiran
3 Krathi
3 Elkran
1 Nilazi
1 Jihaen templar

25 human
3 half-elf
3 dwarf
3 elf (1 city/2 delf)
2 halfling
2 half-giant

Random Observations:
-Humans FTW
-In my defense, many of those 'gickers were either stored (I played them to entertain myself while waiting for special apps/sponsored roles to go through) or died ridiculously quick (one dropped at 2 hours, another at 3, another at 4). With that said, though, it's pretty clear that I loves me some magickers.
-Of those three dwarves, two died from poison. The last was stored. Dwarven poison resistance for the lose.
-2 halflings. Anybody play more than that?
-My first ever half-giant was a magicker. Take –that-, guild-sniffers!
-Both my half-giants were stored. I feel like I –get- them, but I just don't really –like- them.
-Really need to give half-elves another go.
-Yeah, you read that right. A Jihaen from the Tuluk-hater. It was actually an enormously fun role. (though I still consider it simply training for the day I finally get me a proper Allanaki templar).

Pale Horse.... you've had that same PC since I started playing Arm.... kudos on the long life. I don't for the life of me see how you do it.

After several months as a merchant, I wind up hating all the people contacting my PC because they are taking the place of all their dead friends.

After several months of playing a ranger, I miss the merchantly crafting goodness so much.

After... well.... those are the only two guilds I've managed to get up to a few months of time played. But I'm sure the list would go on.

5DMW:

Out of 18 approved PC's, 6 of mine have been stored.

The first one, because of OOC foolishness on my part.
Three in a row after a short-lived PC I loved to death. After these, I went on hiatus because I couldn't get into a character at all.
One was stored to play a special application that was approved.
And one was stored because I made an OOC decision that caused me to become completely detached from the character. (among other things).

I wouldn't say that having many storages is something to be ashamed of nor proud of. It really just depends on the character and the reason, and kinda varies from character to character.

My longest lived PC, yet (knock on wood).  :P

The #1 thing I've discovered that keeps a PC living for a long time is: Don't piss off the top dogs and don't antagonize the rest of the pack.

Also, learn to avoid or kick the collective asses of the hungry critters outside the cities, and learn to recognize the hungry critters inside the cities.

#8

Against all advice, I tried playing a breed or two first, before I learn't my lesson, and changed to humans for a while.

#1 Mle, Half-elf, Ranger/hunter if I remember correctly... (always read the docs.....I learnt after a pitiful skill set)
#2 Human Assassin,  my absoloute favorite PC so far, he was so much fun to play, although his death was a bit of a let-down.
#3 Breed warrior/merc, died pretty quickly I belive.
#4 Human assasin, died after about 4 hours of playtime...saddening.
#5 human assisin, dont think I was too happy about #4....
#6 Human ranger, not a very memorable PC i belive.... damn shield wall.
#7 Human Ranger/jewelcrafter, theres a pattern emerging here......
#8 breed Ranger, Still kicking it!

I've never stored, always died.....

6 humans
1 dwarf

3 warriors
2 assassins

Lessee...

Random warrior of Allanak who I lolsuicided to make...
Randoom warrior #2 from RSV, at the behest of Ashes (who got me into the game),
I went on to make one of my all-time favorite characters, Jonas Drake (as is the name of my AIM, cluey-types), a pickpocket from the 'rinth,
And then I went to play Zoan, who all you southies know and love/hate.

The next three characters are too soon to mention. So that's a total of um, uh...uh...four...five...SIX! I've had six. On my seventh. Vrun Driath for life, yo.

Newb 1 has perished from terradin in room #. Yuck. (Don't drink the funny water helpful PCs give you.)
Psuedo-Newb has been killed by a sandy-haired desert tarantula, amen. (Don't flee from a mek into a beetle into a spider, on foot...)
Inactive Newb has been killed by a sinewy, brown-spotted rantarri, amen. (This was, legitimately, my first "real" PC - ie, one I played for more than a day and then died on. I had her for a solid few years, though the majority was idle time until those last few months, and it was pretty fun.)
Suicide Newb has been killed by a large black beetle, amen. (Lasted maybe a few hours, total.)
Inactive Still-Newbish, remains alive: Start Date: Fri May 16 02:27:22 2008

I'm on #7.

I apparently seem to be breaking the common trend, because less than 50% of my PCs have been human. 3 humans, 2 dwarves, 1 half elf and one city elf.

I was VERY surprised that I had played more humans than dwarves and half-elves combined (my two favorite races).
That being said, my hmans have a habit of being much more short lived than my dwarves and half-elves.

I'm totaly impressed by how long people keep themselves alive for.

In a litte over a year of playing, my longest lived character was an amazing 12 days of play time and they had an awesome life. Ran out of movement in the wrong spot.


I'm on my 53rd character with an average survival time of 2-4 days.

Rangers are awesome, but easy compared to the city-classes which I'm stuck trying to get past days 5-7.

Oh yeah, humans = yuck.

(not counting mid-90s chars when I was in early highschool and I would just run outside, die to a gith, submit another char, repeat).

Char #1 - Half-elf ranger.  Scrab->Shield Wall->Dujat->Gith.  3 hours.
Char #2 - Human ranger.  Stored.  15 days played.
Char #3 - Dwarf ranger.  "What's in this hole, I wonder?"  About a day played.
Char #4 - MYSTERY

I wonder if I find rangers appealing?

10th died faster than my first char (thiefy char in 'rinth).

Hang in there. I have over 110 PCs in about... 4-5 years played (on and off even.) I can't even BEGIN to give you the breakdown on it. My biggest problem for the first year was that I ran around with a quick tongue and bravado. (The euphemistic synonym for "stupidity") Through my whole career I'd rather be doing stuff balls to the wall like each PC is expendable, than sitting around plotting. I think very few of my first 30 made it past 1 day play time cause I had a knack for IMMEDIATELY getting in over my head. Lipping off to the Guild Boss, vowing revenge on the Templar, hunting mekillot with a mediocre leveled Krathi. Shoot. 5 - 6 days used to be epic long life for me.

My last PC got over 20-some days lived (probably my record, IDK) and my current one is climbing right up there, easily. I think something has changed. But who knows.

#4 - C-Elf Burglar / Weaponcrafter, 1 day, 23 hours. Disappeared in Tuluk.
#5 - Human Magicker / Bard. ~5 days. Supposed to have been an epic death, instead turned into lousy PK in wildeness.
#6 - Human Merchant / Archer. ~ 4 days. Stored because of RL issues.
#7 - Human Magicker / Scavenger. ~2 days. Pk'd in wilderness
#8 - Dwarven Sneaky. ~1 day. Killed by NPC, but completely in character.
#9 - Human Mundane. Under 4 hours. Stupid PK in sensitive location.

Pffft, that's a piss weak excuse. I'm usually an off-peaker and I've been PKed plenty. Hell, once one of my (warrior) characters had his throat slit in the middle of a (crim-code covered) street (and yes it happened long ago so it's not ICly sensitive). At least a couple of my characters got ambushed and murdered by dirty elves. Can't remember how the others got murdered, it's been so long.

Well,  I cant confirm this but I believe around #120 or so.

I had a few different accounts over the years and forgot the name and the password. Ill go off on a excavation for a year sometimes longer where there is no ISP in the Ardain forest or in the scrubs of North Eastern Wyoming.  Sadly things happen,  loss of memory after being alone with 12 strangers in the woods for over a year, Ex throws away passwords and account names.   

So yea....    While I only have 12 on the account I own now. I do remember generally the over 100+ other characters iv had over the... many... many...... many... I do mean many years of playing this game on and off.
