<1:47 pm OOC> Pranzor (GM) says, "Character names will now be reliably freed up if you choose not to select the stat options and abort the veteran character generation."

<1:48 pm OOC> Pranzor (GM) says, "Yeah, it never deleted the character. Characters deleted before 30 days free the name up for reuse."

@vc-level
Veteran character level for *redacted*: 1
If you were to @retire this character today, they would receive a level 8 veteran character package.

Subject: Veteran Character Package Expansion

Good afternoon, everyone.
 
We hope this message finds you well. We have some important updates regarding patrician characters. Due to challenges in managing these characters effectively, we have decided to reduce the passive income they receive. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand it may be disappointing for some of you.
 
Our initial vision for patrician characters was ambitious, but we recognize that we currently lack the resources to fully realize it. To support those affected by this change, we are offering VC30 packages for patricians who wish to trade in their characters. These packages will include a domus with various improvements, subject to staff availability. Please note that the VC30 package is only available if you trade in your current patrician character, which will be deleted.
 
Additionally, we have adjusted the VC formula. We have removed custom items and added more attribute points to better align with the preferences we've observed among the majority of players.
 
Tidbit of info: Current patrician income after recent adjustments: 250t to 1125t per RL year. Bank accounts among current patrician characters range from 250 talents to 26k talents.
 
We have also noticed inappropriate handling of patrician characters, where some players have been using their characters to give money to friends. This behavior is not in line with our vision for the game, and we will be taking steps to address it. In fact, it is a blatant violation of the rules set forth for patrician characters early on.
 
We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we strive to create the best experience for everyone.
 
For the new Veteran Character Packages, the max level for @retire will become a VC19 and the @Chop will be determined by staff beyond level 20. Patrician characters, as previously mentioned, will have the opportunity to get a free VC30. This will happen via @request. Of course, we will still have the ability to add some of this to the @perks system, parchment events, etc.

<6:59 pm OOC> Pranzor (GM) says, "You will see the time you last rolled now as well: You already rolled a character on 3:15 pm, Sunday, January 26, 2025. You can only roll a character once every 1 day."

<7:00 pm OOC> Pranzor (GM) says, "As always, report any bugs or issues you find. I just had to disable the command to go fix all of the indexing issues with adding the 0 in there."
