How can a person become 62 years in age with 85 hours playtime while character is created 2022 january and another person/player who created half a year earlier with 10 times the playtime have almost the same age?
Ridicilous imho.. but that's the way things work here i guess.
Correct me if I'm wrong.. do some races or classes age faster than others that can get 62 year old age with 85 hour playtime in just few months? Rolling Eyes

Age is based on creation date, not hours played. This was a request because we had a lot of really old characters who didn't have a lot of hours played, and it was immersion breaking to see them be like 20 years old, but rolled up in 2006.

To be fair, thinking a character was rolled up at all would be immersion breaking to me. As one character looking at another I shouldn’t have any idea he is anything other than what he is.

2022 January created and 62 years old, another player is from 2021 July with almost the same age.. Almost a year earlier.. when you type whois (player name)- you can see the age.. I am not complaining about anything just it is weird or am I missing something here? The data shows something different.. Thanks!

hmm that is weird, maybe its a combination of the two?

Stiehl, I say rolled but IC that would be born/entered the world/whatever backstory. Like someone who created today might have a demon invasion centered background, but if they start to go idle and show back up two years later after having some life support, does it make sense for that character to be younger than that strapping squire?
