I was assuming that the retire district would be a place for people to go for a blood bath without wasting money to look for those specfic player.


If the retirement home is like what Druchii stated, I don't think a retirement home is a good idea. The side effect would increase the difficulty in this game.

Such as..
More player will need to spend more money on stims from attacking or being attacked.
Younger player that want to level up would have to either be really active or donate money to level up.

There are many more side effects... We will seriously have to think this through.

What sniveling pansy came up with that idea, this is surely not a predetermined option from the creators (at least I hope not.) This game is structured for those who have the staying power to endure and grow. Regardless of the reason that a player is unable to play anymore, the fact that he has stopped playing should now enable those that have been growing at either a slower pace or have just started playing to pass them.

My point is that one's players activity peak is another's goal, so why should any player be exempt from the nature of the game?

I loathe the idea of the retirement district.

If it must exist, the retirement district should cost a shitload of money to stay there per day - that money being automatically debited from your bank account. When that money runs out, then the player should be removed from the district.

There's always the pantheon for that.

I agree with everyone re: retirement district being a copout. However, this is an option that has existed for quite a while (since Beelzebub retired, well before my time) and since it was offered to people back then, it should still be an option now.

All of the sniveling about it really has not gotten anywhere, so I have learned to accept that some players will just take their ball and go home :massivegrin: when they are done with AL.

I will consider the district when the time comes to retire, depending on the nature of my retirement. Another consideration would be to sell the house, borg up, and become TeamPBR v2.0.

Back to the original idea, though. Yes, the retirement district should be viewable from every other district.

Newspaper. Not added to the userlist yet though, but player profiles will show it now.

The "sniveling pansy" is Zenith. (yes zenith, take offense, and feel free to withdraw 2-3 levels of endurance from Marlo's stats.)

It was the main intent to slow down the tops progress in the beginning of the game when 2 players broke of from the rest. I think the district originated when Daemon got banned for doing illegal stuff, and she didn't want him to be the stepping stone for 2-3 people alone. Chris, Beelzebub and Casanova.

However, retirement district does not serve this purpose anymore as people gain stats and power steadily to fill up the power gaps so that everyone exept the top 5 can progress steadily in terms of gaining XP to level. The reason why the top 5 will not progress as rapidly as the rest of the players is because of the power gap of the targets they have, so they will not receive full xp from the targets, their usual targets might yield as low as 50% of the top xp they can receive. (Top XP received increases each level, on level 38 I believe it to be 411-417xp)

So the people going to the retirement district does not disrupt anything in the power circle, other then causing annoyance to find them while traveling. But if gangs could just make complete enemy lists containing locations of targets/inactives, the XP they yield vs your power level (I really wish we could see our own power level on the home/main page), this whole situation could be handled a lot more graciously.
