      Does anyone remember when we couldn't respawn after level 5?

      What time period was that? The discussion recently came up in chat. I remember not being able to respawn but that was a long, long time ago, and so many people disagree with my assertion that this ever happened. I know I came to Arabel before '08 by several years and I've been off-and-on playing ever since.

      Had I been doing something wrong back then, or was it always possible to respawn and I was given to the wrong impression/I hit some wrong buttons?

      I wouldn't normally continue this discussion - hardcore mode or whatever it was is a long time ago - but I want to check my sanity.

        As said in IRC, I'm fairly certain you could always respawn at any level throughout the history of CoA.

          unless you selected hardcore mode, but that was a selection at character creation (not that it ever worked when I got here, the conversation was just left in…. lol)

              2007 for me - I've never heard of this.

              I think the only character that I ever had that died more than five times was Wilhelm the gnomish wizard with Alzheimer's disease… He never had any trouble respawning.

                I stand corrected!

                I guess I'm remembering turning Hardcore mode on or something.

                  I remember it being a switch you could flip on your character through the craft menu, though I've long forgotten the specifics. . . >_>

                    IIRC Hardcore mode gave you a flat % increase gain to all incoming XP in return for removing the respawn option.. it didn't run long.
