Returning Player - Kensai

Hello,

Returning to Arelith after being away for a while I noticed I was missing an attack per round. Looking to the wiki I see that Kensai was disabled / removed.

Is there any sort of compensation for this? Character has been a Kensai for a long while and was specifically built around the concept.

Thank you,

The compensation is now you're not restricted in using items/potions/etc. that you couldn't use before.

Kensai was restricted 5 years before it was removed. Plenty of time to find a way to live with the changes or figure out an ending for the character.

So, I am fine with ending the character. But it seems my RPB has been defaulted, perhaps from being away so long? I would much prefer to just sacrifice it and roll a new char with award. I already have some awards, so it's odd my RPB is back to default.

As well, potions were usable before, as well as many mundane items. Many of which I have, as again, it was built around Kensai.

There was no end of shelf life mentioned to my knowledge for me to "find a way to live with the changes" that were unknown to me to be coming....

Also, I'm not sure why your default posture is that of hostility / aggression, but I assure you friend, it is not necessary. We can converse without animosity, even if our view points were completely opposed.

Thank you,

There was no hostility in that post. Yes, you could use some items, but no where near the amount you can now. Every old returning character usually needs to be completely rebuilt (which can be done with /relevel) and reequipped if they've been on the shelf for a long time. Arelith is not constant and things change all the time.

Your RPR should not have reset, if it did, there might have been a database error. RPR was changed to add RPR50 (effectively adding one level in between 20 and 30) which might have something to do with it. You can submit an RPR review in the support tab and people can see they can chase down the issue.

Hi Hoodoo,

I sent you a message as requested.

I'm going to hit the sack now, though. Work early in the AM tomorrow. Can converse with you via discord.

Thank you,
