If I kill off my character, I'm remaking/fantasia-ing her into a whole new character, considering making alts in Balmung is too much of a hassle.
A person might still want to RP, even if their character winds up dead. Isn't it okay for them to try roleplaying something new? Or perhaps I'm not understanding.
I mean as in death is a 100% excuse to make a new character as oppose to what you intend to do...an event. I had someone whisper me once they plan to kill their character just because they don't like rping the toon....offscreen. No send off or anything. Just suppose to accept the death without a chance to help.
Your way feels more considerate to those around you with a CHANCE to save but their failure will result in a character death. Thus making it interesting in the end.
In short: I hate people who off their character for no reason like a red shirt. Be more Spock or Kirk.
