Our game uses a unique real-time based XP system. Characters gain XP through the passage of time, not through being logged in. So the characters that are created in the first month will be the characters with the most XP for all time. A special perk

Is that quote true if I delete both my main and destiny twin and recreate?

[Ravenlute]

From what I understand if you make a character and then delete it that character loses the ability to be backdated.

Setting up DT allows 2 characters to gain backdated xp as long as they haven't been deleted.

If you remove training from either character after setting up, you lose DT.

So don't delete any characters, especially DT ones.

[Neadenil Edam]

It has been made pretty clear that deleting the Destiny twin removes that feature permanently. There are numerous warnings about that. So NO on that one.

Whether a deleted main gets backdated XP when recreated within the backdate period is unclear but it seems very unlikely. You need someone from Piazo to answer that one.

Even without backdated XP to week one however a character recreated in month one will still have a substantial XP advantage over people starting in OE which is what the statement is implying.

[<Kabal> Daeglin]

Ryan stated that the backdating only happens ONCE. (With the exception of the DT)

[sspitfire1]

and if you do anything with your main, you loose the DT feature.

[KarlBob]

Really, it's more accurate to think of a pair of Destiny Twins, rather than a main and a twin.

Did anyone else have a flashback to those folks who always tried to get the longest name possible over their head?

[Penguin_Witchdoctor]

@ Nihimon

I did that in Everquest. Fifteenleterrs

With so many EVE players around it would be interesting to know how many DTs have been used as awoxing spies to infiltrate other settlements. Spying and Sabotage is the EVE way.

I would be very surprised if there is not at least one DT spy in the leadership of virtually every settlemnt in game.

Damn - I have been found out. I'm actually a DT of someone else. Just don't tell Thod.

[Caldeathe Baequiannia]

I think it does hold true, Saiph, though it depends entirely on accepting a definition of DTs as a consumable perk attached to your first character. I wonder if anyone has tried deleting their "new player pack" and then making a case to goblinworks that they should replace it....

I imagine there's a spy in every settlement, but I don't accept that they are in the leadership structures.

Is there any settlement allowing strangers into leadership?

There must be dozens of existing guilds and player relationships who came to PFO as an already cohesive unit.

I'm not even convinced of that, considering how many settlements have no presence at all. On the other hand, it may be that spies are the most active members of some settlements....

Or they may like their leadership role in the new settlement so much that they become double agents.

Good point. Did I mention I brought home some copper for you, Mistwalker? Catch Bringslite or I in game sometime, preferably when you're not too far from Guardheim, which is where it's currently stored.
