The new fate deck is now in the game guide for everyone to see. Here are the highlights:
- Permanent death. The Death card now actually kills your character, forcing you to wait in the graveyard until someone with the gold and expertise comes to resurrect you. If nobody does or you give up waiting, your death is permanent.
- Fewer cards. Many of the cards in the old death deck were pretty weak. We've combined a few and pared the list down to the 10 worst. This more than doubles the chance of drawing the death card.
- Memory loss. Three of the cards impose memory loss in addition to their normal effects. The chances of drawing these tend to go up after you've died since some cards can only be drawn once per event.
- Fate instead of death. Except for the death card, all of the cards give a vague explanation of how your character managed to avoid an untimely demise and the consequences they suffered while doing so. This eases the suspension of disbelief problem we had in the old system from the question of why dead people kept reappearing. You're welcome to make up your own story to go along with the card you drew.
- PvP reset. Because of this change, all flagged players are now unflagged. You may choose to flag normally starting next event. We encourage everyone to think carefully before doing so. Killing someone repeatedly and/or interfering with their resurrection are valid and will be allowed.
