Eventually you may tire of the character you have been playing or feel like you have reached the end of that character’s story. You also may want to start a new character but do not want to start from the very beginning again. To “retire” a character you have in the database you may do so by contacting your logistics team and abiding by the following conditions:
Your will receive half the XP (rounded down) of the traded in character to be applied towards a new character.
Your will receive half the number of recorded deaths (rounded up) of the traded in character to be applied towards the new character.
All IG items of the traded in character must be turned in as part of retirement. If your character’s retirement is due to a death, the gear must leave the game. If you choose to retire your character for other reasons, as mentioned in the beginning of this section, your character’s items may be kept or given away to friends and allies.
Your plot team is also willing to work with you off screen to create a fitting retirement story for your character. At this point, even if it is a peaceful retirement, this character will never be able to come back as a Playable Character. You do have the option of allowing your plot team to turn that Character into a Cast if you like, but that is not required.
You can only turn in one character towards the creation of a new one. You cannot combine multiple characters for trade to gain a higher XP value.
