Hello everyone! I’ve been working in the Staff Board to try to finalize the PL transfer rules since there has been a bit of confusion surrounding the specifics dealing with them. There is one aspect that still needs to be sorted out before I post up a topic with everything finalized.
It has been voted before that players should get one transfer, plus one for each character death in a DE thread. With this in place, there might as well not be a limit if all you need to do is suicide them in a thread. However, that vote was placed before the LMB was in effect. It is quite a bit easier to get to 20k PL than before, which is the maximum amount that can be transferred. With the new bonus in place, it is far too easy to make a character, rp them for a little while with the LMB is active, and them merge them into a character that no longer receives LMB. Some kind of hard cap needs to be in place to prevent this from being abused.
The poll is straightforward enough. How many transfers should each player receive? Keep in mind that we’re not trying to encourage people to drop their characters. Retiring a character and transferring their PL to another character so something that should be thought long and hard about, not just done on a whim. A hard cap better ensures that people will think very carefully about dropping their characters in favor of new ones.
If the option for one initial transfer with more earned via rp milestones wins out, there will be a separate discussion about milestone distance that will be put up. This option basically means that everyone starts with one. As they hit certain base PL milestones, they'll receive more. Keep in mind that these milestone will likely be few and far between, and will only be able to be hit once per player.
