I guess this is an appropriate place to ask this question...

I created my main character about 10 years ago or somewhere there abouts. For a large portion of this time I was away from the game, but nonetheless, time in Elanthia continued to pass... at this point I'm a human, and I'm 61 years old. My question was, is there anything coded into the game that may make someone walk the starry road because of old age? Is there any feasible way to regain my youth?


I'd hate it if I came back and finally fully committed to this game only to find out after I play it for another year or two my character is going to die of old age... DR has been relatively good about keeping a lot of things realistic and consistent with how they would be in RL, I was just curious if age was considered the same... somehow I doubt nobody would have any trouble with a 120 year old human waltzing around the game (given that would be a long shot off)

Thanks in advance.

Player characters will never die of old age. Your geezer is safe.

It's been firmly stated by the GM's that no ill will come from old age. No death no loss of stats nothing

No. It has no impact on any thing other than the little age description term used in your look. You can go get it shifted if you have the coin to get it shifted.

Shifting age is not easy and the downtime is huge.

Be prepared to shell out a lot of money if you want to get shifted to be young again. I wouldn't expect you to be charged less than 1000 plat for it, honestly.
