So, I guess this post is really just to express myself on the way out. I like One Piece and I even like the majority of the system and how things work here.

However, what is really crippling is that like poor choices, especially for new people like myself who don't really know what's going on sort of leave you trapped. If you make a character and find out you really don't like it, you're pretty much utterly stuck because there aren't any second chances here. You take what you take and that's that. Which is pretty intimidating/crippling for your overall fun. Sure, scrapping exists but like the majority of time and effort you've put into a character pretty much goes down the drain and with the rules on Alt Characters, really, there are tons of other things you can be doing with your time.

I mean, the whole point of an RP like this is to have fun / enjoy yourself but if you suddenly find yourself in a spot where you're not enjoying yourself or having fun, well you're pretty much SOL. The fact that there is no real way to change who and what you are on in a Roleplay (which are really all about changing who and what you are) is kind of just exhausting. For me, I sort of came into this just trying to have fun but I created a character I ended up not really enjoying but my choices of what to do about this is pretty much die and lose everything... Which just makes me want to walk away, which is essentially what I'm doing.

I don't really know what to say, I understand the staffs viewpoints about having to approve a new character being a waste of their time and stuff; but I also understand that for a new player, who comes in and ends up just completely losing interest with the RP because they can't stand their character is really painful and makes you just want to go RP elsewhere or not at all.

Well, anyway, that's my two cents.

So what I’m getting from this is that you don’t like the character you made and want to restart keeping all of your stats and things you’ve accumulated on this character. I’ve been in a situation like this recently with my first character kahseh who I ended up not enjoying as much as I thought I would. I had to create a totally new character and start from the bottom after all the work I’ve put in. I understand how you feel but if we allowed people to just say “hey I don’t like my character anymore I wanna restart but keep all my characters things” the site would be a mess. i suggest you just scrap tbh because at least you’d eat to role play a character you like.

If you just want to change some things about your character like personality or even appearance you can do those things through RP. If it’s your skillset than it only costs 30 Mill to remake.

I’m in favor of revamps or similar options personally, because of things like this, among other situations.

This is actually not a bad idea if the user loses something, like all stats are reverted to one, or suffer 75% reduction for everything they have and they lose their items. Something like that since the death rules exist

That death rule should be bump into 75% if it’s not plan and scraps or planned death should be set to 50% but that’s what I always though.

Revamp tickets! Revamp tickets! Revamp tickets!

You've made two IC posts. Nothing you have has been earned in any way. You deserve nothing for scrapping. You're not being punished, you just have done literally nothing and have benefitted from recent giveaways. Next time, we'll just put in post requirements and you'd have nothing to complain about.

Sounds like people care more about rewards and things than actually Role Playing.
