I find rebirth 'age' limit the 100d / 200d for births kinda limitating.
Due to these limitations i atm cannot birth to eldership.
Very soon i will again have to wait about 100d idling again so can take the
second birth.
I realize birthing is a choise for older players, i my self do not atm have
the game time needed.
But to defend my self ive been playing the game from year 1997 with difrent
characters.
and i would very much appriciate if the birth age thing would be looken into,
or altered even.

That seems fair, I\'ve been here 18months and i\'m well on my way to 300 days.
I don\'t think that punishing the people who are not good at idling is the way
to go.

How about chargnig underage players 1meg per day of low age. That way they
would have some way to speed up the process.

Say you\'ve got the 375megs of xp for second rebirth, but are 113 days of time
short, rather than wait those days you could xp, and make up the difference.
If you got to 375megs so quickly then another 113 shouldn\'t be an issue.

I really fail to see the point in the age limit. Or more precisely; based on
the rating of the original post, why people seem to defend it so much.

Is it supposed to measure your knowledge of the game somehow? If that\'s the
case, wouldn\'t some quest/explore/special rooms limit work a bit better (even
not being a perfect solution either)?

Like how I\'m entitled for full 3 rebirths (twice actually), just because my
activities on Bat can be summarized to saying \"baah\" on one ss channel once
a week, while totally idling with tf connected to Bat from screen for the rest
of the time.

But if the purpose of the age limit is to make sure that for eternal character,
you can\'t make exp faster than 2.25M/real day, fine. Just make some notice for
new chars, like \"In case you at some point would like to consider rebirths, we
suggest that you instantly start idling here 24/7\".

Exp and age limits are clearly explained in 'help rebirth' so I don't think
any special notice is needed for newbies. If somebody is considering
rebirthing i'm sure he knows both the exp and the age needed.

Ok sorry, I misinterpreted your post, thought you have pointed that there were
REASONS for age limits explained in the helpfile, which is not the case. And
yes they\'re very boring thing, those limits.
