REROLL RULES

---

While we strongly advocate for players to maintain loyalty to a character for an extended duration, striving for growth and advancement, it is important to acknowledge that ultimately, this is a video game, and individuals may occasionally become fatigued with their storylines or crave a change of pace. Despite this, we highly recommend individuals to thoroughly contemplate initiating a reroll before proceeding, as there is a possibility of inadvertently relinquishing considerable character progression and narrative as a result of a few unfavorable circumstances.

REROLLING

Rerolling a character is only possible once every 14 days. An exception can be made if indicated in a staff announcement - this primarily happens if there are significant enough changes to a class/subclass.

NOTE: Upon creating a fresh character, a grace period of 14 days shall be granted to allow for potential modifications to be made to your class, subclass, and profession, which can be done through a grace period ticket in the moderation category in #tickets. Nevertheless, it is vital to note that once a race has been selected, this aspect cannot be changed.

Steps to Reroll

In order to reroll, you must have wrapped up or otherwise resolved all outstanding conflicts that your character has been actively and consciously involved in, in some way. Post your intent to reroll your character in the appropriate discord channel labeled Reroll Accountability. Every reroll accountability takes 24 hours to process unless an exception is explicitly obtained by staff for extenuating circumstances. After the designated waiting period, you will be given the green checkmark to resume the process of rerolling your character by opening a Shelf/Reroll Character ticket from the Whitelists channel.

After you make your post, you have 72 hours from the time you posted in REROLL ACCOUNTABILITY to submit a SHELF/REROLL CHARACTER ticket, which can be found in #whitelists. If a shelf/reroll ticket is not submitted within the 72 hour time frame, you will need to post your intent to reroll your character again in REROLL ACCOUNTABILITY. This is to ensure all stories involving your character are completed, and no further stories are started.

You will need to submit proof of mastery in your shelf/reroll ticket. Only fullscreen screenshots of your Mastery buffs in your RPR details, or your RPR-assistance ticket for claiming Expert feat/reroll-allowance are acceptable for this.

You may also shelf with marks, this requires an UNCROPPED screenshot of your inventory displaying your mastery marks.

Please wait for the whitelist team to process your ticket - these tickets are handled in the order they come in. Do not open a new whitelist ticket until after your shelf/reroll ticket is done. Keep in mind during this process that pinging staff without explicit permission is not allowed.

If you intend on applying for a limited slot race, you do not have to shelf/reroll your current character unless you are approved, as these applications can be denied and have longer processing times.

During the 24 hour reroll accountability period, any player can submit a contest-shelfrerollpk ticket from the moderation category in the tickets channel in order to challenge the shelf/reroll. This should be backed with evidence of a genuine conflict with the character in question. In the event that no objection is raised within the 24 hours, the shelf/reroll will be checkmarked and allowed to proceed.

Shelving VS Rerolling

After an approved reroll accountability post, the player has the option to either place their character on a temporary shelf to preserve their mastery or reroll them to permanently remove them from being logged in the system. Each player is allotted two slots for shelving characters, with up to an additional three slots through donator tiers. When a character is shelved, all items are lost, -excluding mastery marks- and the character's mastery level is recorded. If an Expert character is at 115 marks when shelving, they will be marked eligible for their Mastery event/application for when they unshelf.

A recently shelved character cannot be unshelved for 30 days. No changes to the character's class or profession may occur while shelved or upon unshelving. The only exception to this is the release of a new eligible subclass or significant rework of their existing one.

Rerolls involve a narrative conclusion to the characters story. Those conclusions come in three forms.

1. Leaving the land

These characters leave the area.

They may be re-whitelisted by resubmitting the previously approved backstory, but do not retain mastery or feats.

2. Narrative Death:

The character dies due to NPC threat (like banditry), illness or accident.

These characters may only be re-whitelisted if RP is done to resurrect them using a ritual.

If re-whitelisting a character that has narratively died, you must present evidence of the resurrection RP in the whitelist ticket.

3. Player Kill

The character dies as part of an RP storyline with another player

This option may only be selected if the proper ticket process has been completed - see Consequence Rules

Should a player wish to simply delete their character via reroll, rather than preserving its mastery and feats on the shelf, the character is not logged in our system. In the event that an individual wishes to reintroduce a rerolled character, they may do so; however, the reintroduced character will need to be re-whitelisted and will start as Novice. This cannot be done for characters revoked by disciplinary action. Characters that have died by means of PK or Narrative Death are restricted by the need for RP about using a valid ritual to return their character to life.

You are permitted to whitelist your new character as a family member, close companion, or familiar individual of your previous character, provided that your new character carries over no knowledge obtained by the previous character. This aspect is a privilege and can be revoked or denied due to disciplinary action.

Reroll Allowance

Once per wipe and provided your existing character is at minimum an Expert, you may reroll or shelve your character and begin at Expert on your new concept. No Mastery Marks are carried forward during this process.

Rerolls within the same wipe cycle after claiming this reroll allowance will begin as fresh Novices, regardless of circumstances (shelving, reroll, character death, etc).

If you have not claimed this reroll allowance during a wipe cycle and wish to change characters at the beginning of a new wipe, you may do so using the previous cycle's allowance to start at Expert on your new character, retaining the allowance for the upcoming cycle. Outside of this, the reroll allowance does not carry over between wipes.

CONTESTING

When a contest is approved, players have 72 hours to conclude the conflict. The contested player is expected to be online and playing normally during this period. If this is followed, and the contesting player has not concluded the conflict within 72 hours, the contested player will be allowed to continue their shelf/reroll. A contested player with mitigating circumstances may ask for an off-screen conclusion. Staff will mediate the details of this conclusion between involved players.
