I go YEARS with no problem and now that this thread is going I all of a sudden have two of my characters that are in their 80's in danger. One is locked up and the other is under attack.

Has anyone else with older characters noticed anything similiar since this thread started?

I am sorry for being alittle slow.. but I dont understand your reference.
to much what?

Its just a question curious if anyone else had noticed, the connections. From time to time I see a connection of the difference in game play due to Forum threads.

Chase I believe refers to your suspiscion in this matter.

People who are overly paranoid about alien invasions, or gov't getting in their heads, have been known to wear little tinfoil hats.

Chas is saying you're too paranoid and its unrelated.

Hey! I like my tin foil hat thank you!

I have not seen any random redrum of any older cantrinians. Most older cantrinians I see are sleepers or nearly sleepers.

Thanks for explaining... your explanation made me laugh :lol:

There may be a correlation, but more than likely it's just coincidence, I'd say.

You'd love to kill mine... he's probably got a a lot thousand dating back to the 600's and possibly some even before that.

My chars have witnessed a LOT of >80yo's carking it in the last week, from heart attacks or starvation.

Is it me, or are chars dying with increasing frequency in the lead-up to Xmas? I guess most people can't be bothered logging in to check food supplies etc during vacation?

Be it from vacations, exams, retailers working extra hours.... The seasonal stress that comes with the holidays....

There's almost always a drop in activity around christmas. It's just sort of what happens.

That happens in EVERY online game I have ever played. Except for Halo because eithor its just so many people had/are (depending on which one you play/played) playing that you don't notice or people who do play it have their priorities all messed up.

My tin foil bunny ears must be arranged the same way yours are Hagan. One of my older charries is having some difficulty with some young usurpers. And to add insult to injury...being faulted for being old. I found that an unusual criticism in cantr...as you only get better with age.

Just like wine. Again, if any of my chars were annoyed like that, the approach would be simple. Hack n' slash.

Young chars displaying megalomanical ambitions always sound so lame to me. It is like "lololol all ur base r belong to us, bow suckas" and the guy have just spawned. And this happened to me.

Not always. Sure, nobody can make a -direct- connection between age and feebleness, because newspawns have a high death rate, yadda yadda, and anyone can technically drop dead from a heart attack at any age anyways.

BUT. Old people can be faulted in other ways. Their views can be outdated, they lose a sense of ambition in the name of their town/people, they hoard power to themselves... When looking in the mirroir, older characters might see themselves as getting better year by year, but others might see them as an obstacle impeding themselves from getting more better year by year.

Maké la sense? :p
