You know, OGR, I think with your NWN2 PCs, you've gained more levels than I have throughout my time at ALFA (including all my level 2s over the years). You're clearly a powergamer and must be banned.

That adds up to just shy of 100k XP-- you'd be about level 14, and would be about halfway to 20. Getting to level 20 is super hard, as it turns out. ;)

Heero, you can redeem your wrong doings by rolling up a new pc and playing with us all again. I am not sure it will redeem anything to do with the genitals but everything else I am sure.

As far as I am aware there is almost no turnover of high level PCs in ALFA these days, more than likely due to reasons that I've already alluded to; it's all but the duty of the very low level players keeping that 'global' attitude alive and kicking.
End of last year saw a fair few high levels die. I can testify to DMs not going easy on high levels - at least in the DM events I've been in, generally survival has been by a hairs breadth and been down to either good planning or a good amount of luck. That only covers the DMing I received from Viigas for a long while and then the DMing from Ronan (whom has a bit of a rep for not going easy afterall). No idea if other DMs make it easy or not.

(also note that level has nothing to do with it, if you talk PC turnover it should be lifespan, in which case Tam surely should be at about expiry date too in terms of age? The original characters of ALFA2 are down to near none now though, I think Sylvaine is the last in fact - Other old PCs are Drake, Laniara and Sywyn as well as Marcus Wands, doubt any are older than those four other than Sylvaine, theres then quite a jump before next oldest PCs which likely includes Tam now, as well as Elenaril and then Rani and Persephone and probably another jump all the way to Hulurin. Of those, the highest level is the least old PC, the others I assume range from 7th i assume to 12th i believe) there are a few others that probably fall into the 'high' levels that remain, which are much newer I guess too.

Theres other old PCs that are not dead, but their players have not been about lately so I've not mentioned them. Regardless, turnover has nothing to do with level, it's all about age.
Bu's older than silly Pers and Hully! :(

I just did a tally. In NWN2 ALFA I have gained roughly 145,000 EXP between 2 PCs.

Rathalan Whitsword retired just shy of lvl 13 after 2.5 years of play. The rest is Hully.

Given a rough estimate of 217 weeks since ALFA went live in Aprill 2008 that makes my total XP rate as 668 XP/week. Honestly I would have thought it would be higher as a nearly daily multi-hour player.

Just for shits 'n giggles...

I've been playing my only PC for roughly 122 weeks and cranked out ~31,000 XP, so that's an averaged rate of ~250 XP/week.

This value has no post.
