I'm willing to bet that it's been answered before, but what will happen when characters start reaching the age that they should start dying of natural causes? Also, if it /is/ possible to end it that way, is there anything in place to balance out between the races that hardly get any (geologic) time to get anything done and those that have all the (geologic) time in the world to live and do whatever?

Age is for the most part fluff. Your character wont die or suffer adverse affects from aging. The oldest pc right now is middle aged, and as a tog im barely at the midway point*, and this is 7.5 years after creation. I use age for rp, i cant wait to assume my rightful place in middle age.

The oldest Human PC is (or was) "mature".

i dont know the rp breakdown of ages for all the races, so saying the oldest person i know is about 57 doesnt really translate into anything tangible without that chart. Maybe some races reach mature at that "age" (adjust for race as fitting)

I believe it based simply on the fact that my oldest still-active character, who started out at 16 maybe 3 months before the web move, is going to turn 42 within a week.
