Your characters age and dye, but are able to reproduce, thus advancing your family bloodline.
Since your character's descedents will inherit any fame, or dis-fame, from previous characters, this raises some really interesting RP elements previously unseen in MMOs. Also, since your character must have offspring in order to continue, either with other PCs or NPCs(whores), you will be able to see the offspring of your characters. For example, your human male has a child with an Elven female. You now have a half-elf that you can play. That half-elf matures and mates with another human or elf, and so on. This has enormous potential.
Bloodlines FAQ
For the lazy:
# What is the Bloodline?
The bloodline system is your way to live through your descendents upon old age and eventual permanent death. In order to have a bloodline, you need to create an NPC child. The bloodline child is your prime's replacement in the case of permanent death. It is the character that you will play when your prime dies.
# How do you get children?
* Children come from: Your character marries another character and produces an NPC child. Currently, children produced this way receive the benefit of learning the same skills of his/her parent at a faster rate. (Gender outcome can be influenced.) This will produce the best child possible, and will be the only way to get the skill gain bonus.
* Adopt an NPC child from your clan or village.
* Parenting an NPC child of a friend.
* Through divine intervention you might receive an NPC child, i.e. prayer to a god. (Gender outcome can be influenced through prayer and divinating acts)
# If two PC's create a child, who keeps the child?
The parents can either agree who keeps the child, or it will be chosen randomly.
# How is the child's sex chosen?
The child's sex will be randomly chosen. Although, a god can intervene in the child's sex.
# What perks are there to having a long bloodline?
* There are some perks that go along with having a long bloodline, these include but not limited to: The possibility of becoming a hero
* The possibility of participating in the game storyline
* Special abilities one such ability is called "Noble blood".
* Gaining skills at a much faster rate.
* Having access to riches passed down from generation to generation
* Inheriting your bloodlines fame within the world
The really serious downside, is that it seems to be a, more or less, full PvP game. This has the problem of attracting the nonRP, 1337 d00d crowd that just wants to run around killing people weaker than themselves and gaining phat loot.
Hopefully, they will have some RP PvE servers for RP'ers link myself.
