Recently the Staff entertained the suggestions that players were interested in playing more than the five (previously permitted) characters. However we feared that by simply allowing new players to claim ten or twenty characters upon arrival, it could lead to some characters being claimed and never played due to either the player never quite committing to the game, or otherwise being unable to keep up with the responsibility of that many characters. Our solution was a merit-based reward system where players can earn character slots the more they post and more committed to the forum they prove themselves to be. With this, we have still limited the number of total characters earned - but it is now TWENTY, with a maximum of those being TEN Original Characters. This includes both super-powered and non-super-powered characters.
Taken from the Prime Directive:
3. You are allowed to have a maximum of Twenty playable characters, whether super powered or non-powered. This includes Marvel canon characters or up to Ten original characters (OCs) of your making. To have all of these characters, however, you must first earn them through your activity on the site. Below is a scale to show you the thresholds at which you earn your characters slots. Please notice that you could have 20 canons at the upper limits, or 10 canons and 10 OCs. Also note that just because you have the posts and the opportunity, it doesn't mean you are required to hold that many characters. It is entirely up to the player to determine how many characters they choose to play. Staff reserves the right to revoke the privilege of any player to hold this many canons. If Staff determines that you cannot be active with this many characters, specifically canons, we may ask you to drop some, or they could be taken from you.[/font]
Those who already have more characters than their post counts would permit with the new rules will simply have to wait for the proper posting threshold to be reached before they will be able to have more. We will not take those you currently already have and play as of the date of this announcement.
Happy posting!
