Suggestion:
While the mechanical rewards from rebirth are pretty great I believe some sort of visual status symbol would also be appropriate for those who have rebirthed a second time. I suggest that the player, if they so choose, be allowed to to take for instance the God sprite or tentatively any sprite they desire.

Thoughts?

Wot bout us poor gods then? Losing our god sprites to some mere riff raff jus coz they gut berfed again?
How iz dat fair?

A slight problem may be that the game automatically resets character sprites periodically. e.g. Halloween.

Speaking of Halloween, when are you guys planning on turning on the event? The beginning of October?

I thought Halloween was 31st October.

Did I miss something or is Ake just trying to lead me down the garden path...

I figured it may get turned on for the month of October so we can celebrate all month! Just planning some stuff with a character I've wanted to try since last year's Halloween event.

Remind me on 1 October and I will ask the Witched Witch from the East to wave her wand.
She may just turn you into a toad but you never know.

Who said anything about fair!

If the periodic reset is an issue however the implementation is carried should keep that in mind. Something like a chat menu or NPC based system. Just spit balling but say when you hit the second rebirth an item similar to the seyan sword is dropped in inventory and you can hand it in to some guy named x somewhere in y to do z.

Sadly the community is very small these decades so you do not see a lot of other people on your screen. Other MMO offer far more customization of your characters outer appearance. I think it would be against the spirit of the game to make this a feature for everyone. However those who do put in the herculean effort would get rewarded in ascetics as well as stats. I personally never see myself making it there but it might spur me and others to try.

I just like to keep things fresh sometimes

(if you got my terrible pun bravo)

Not sure about a "God" sprite, but adding to the old statues would be cool. By my count I have built the highest character on 3 different servers and never had a statue or anything like that. By my count I have amassed around 700 Million EXP on all my V2 characters combined. Maybe 1 BILLION EXP would earn me a statue?

I thought we created statues for about the first 20 odd warlords on this server.
Were you one of those?

I was one of the first few and I never got one lol

Here's my take on a mechanical reward.

Sorc: base 105 bli...sorcs already rule the world
Warr: base 105 warcry
Temp: base 10 meditate
Seyan: base 10 conc
AH: base 10 stealth

I haven't played the other two alpha classes necro(recently) and ninja so no clue. I don't expect this to ever be put in but it is fun to think about and figure out a balance relative to each other.

Banana,

We did a lot of tracking on the first 20 odd warlords.
The sequence may have been 1 or 2 off but I am not aware of any that we missed.
There have been many since that we did lose track of, many of which may have been auto deleted.

I was not planning on making any more changes to the stats of WLRB characters unless Lazy thinks we still have a balance issue with some races.

A different sprite could be done but I am not sure it would give the benefit you are looking for.
