Remort

The Remort system allows players to change their gender and class, but still
retain all or most of their collected progress. The character must be at least
level 6 before participating, and the system itself is facilitated through an
NPC named Immortalis who holds residence in Midgaard, 3n2w of Market Square.

Based on the total amount of experience points that a player has invested into
their character, a fee will be assessed and charged to them at the time of a
successful remort. This fee is determined against a scale of 15 billion
experience points, and is waived for players with 1.5 billion experience points
or less. This fee is priced in quest and subclass points.

The amount of experience points a player has spent is calculated based on
average gains made during level-ups and hp/mana metas. Since there is a certain
luck factor involved, it is likely that the amount of experience a player is
calculated to have spent will vary slightly from what they have actually spent.
However, the amounts should even out over the course of a player's history, so
the amount presented should be rather accurate. Experience is returned from the
following:

* Levels
* Metas - str, dex, int, wis, con, hp, mana and move
* Ranks
* Core stat (str/dex/int/wis/con) rolls above average

In addition to experience points, any Quest Points spent on core stats above
18 will be returned to the player and added to any un-spent Quest Points the
player may already have. The same occurs with Subclass Points and all points
invested into subclass levels will be added to un-spent Subclass Points and
returned to the player at the time of remort. These returned points can also
be used to pay for the remort fee, in the case that the player does not have
enough un-spent Quest and Subclass points to cover the cost.

There are several commands available from Immortalis, and will facilitate the
remort process:

1) List - Will display a list of tokens available to remort candidates. These

```
  tokens are used to determine which gender and class the player wishes to
  remort into

```

2) Buy - Will allow the player to acquire the tokens of his/her choosing, and

```
  will be used to set the parameters of the player's remort

```

3) Appraise - Will show the player how much experience they have invested to

```
  date and the Quest/Subclass Point fee that will be assessed during remort

```

4) Remort Commit - Will confirm the player's intention to remort and process

```
  that request once the tokens have been purchased and the player has
  seen the fee that will be charged to them

```

5) Cancel - Will cancel the remort process, removing any tokens the player has

```
  acquired from their inventory and essentially erase any intention the
  player has to remort. This can be used to opt out of the remort process
  prior to committing the decison or to clean the slate of token choices the
  player has already made

```

Once a player has acquired the two tokens needed to remort and committed that
decision, the player is set back to level 1, with the gender and class of
their choice. Their core stats are set to 13 across the board and they are
given a pool of remort experience based on the valuation of their experience
point investments prior to remort. This pool of experience is spent
automatically as the player gains experience, and is returned to them at an
increased multiple of the normal amount of experience the player gains. This
includes experience gained through killing a mob and dealing damage (also
known as hit experience).

Once a player has re-earned the entire pool of remort experience, the
process officially ends, and an announcement of such is made to the entire
MUD. However, it is possible to remort again, changing your gender and class
prior to the end of the remort process, at which point the fee is calculated
again based on how much experience the player currently has invested in
their character, not inclusive of the potential to be regained from their
pool of remort experience. If they decide to remort again while already in
the remort process, the experience they have currently spent is simply added
to the existing remort pool, and the process is started again from level 1.

In this way, a player could potentially use this process to experiment with
any number of combination of classes and genders, until they find the one
that best fits their style of play. Players are not penalized by changing
their mind post-remort, and are simply required to regain any experience
they had previously gathered in order to complete the process, restarting it
at any time they see fit.
