I think these are good changes, very necessary. The only question I have is; are we able to purchase gold again? I think right now it's kinda hard for the standing militaries to fulfill the tax without suffering severe damage to our banks. Otherwise, I think this should solve a lot of the issues and make OldCP more balanced.

I suggest the ideas recommended by both Swirlie and Loki. It'd be great to have an import option once death is permanent like Swirlie proposed, so you don't lose the items purchased on your old account. Although, on the other hand, I can understand how transferring those items could devalue what an account was worth before death. And like Loki stated, if you have long-term timely revivals, I believe it still maintains the value of special usernames. Awesome updates otherwise!

Hey guys,
I'm on my one week break now but I'm making this post to announce changes I've already been planning for the new year and want to make it known now.
The following changes will be made to OldCP in 2019. I know this will improve the way things work, trust me.
Once all of this has been planned out fairly and with considering your input, the changes will be made on Monday 7th January 2019
- Death will be made permanent again -
Advantages:
> Make it possible to enforce the rules against murder
> Increase the amount of successful trials against murderers by reducing the amount of murders (currently very high thus killers never get trialed)
> Restore order by increasing the value of accounts
Many of you didn't want this to happen because its a pain for the CO and Knight Captains to re-promote dead users. It's also a pain to have to create and use a new account.
The solution? Don't die.
But making death permanent without doing the next thing would be a mistake...
- Stop the production of lightsabers and reduce their use -
Advantages:
> Less accidental death
> More balanced fights
> Knights (North and South) will be relevant again
- Reduce the number of armed users -
There are too many armed users who don't hold a rank. Limiting this will help order, but that doesn't mean disarm all unranked users of course.
- DRAKE Military Regulation Of Militaries -
This includes:
- Another tax will be applied to all militaries at the cost of 150,000 gold.
- All militaries will require a full description of their soldiers and a review will be done to see if it is safe.
- Militaries may appeal any decision made.
- Wooden Swords Will Return -
Advantages:
- Users can practice with weapons.
- Users can help and be involved when fighting enemies.
Ok, that's all, no need to make it any more complicated. What are your thoughts?

I look forward to these changes, and I hope it will better OldCP in the long run. Until you return I hope you enjoy your break, Damen.
