As we simmers grow our skills, our characters also gain experience and are shaped by the way we write them. Sometimes, their experiences are rewarded with a promotion!
But sometimes it’s good to start a new character – a fresh, clean slate. Here in our game, members are allowed to start new characters at their current OOC rank, or any rank below. Some folks choose lower ranks to start again, while others choose to start a character closer to their highest achieved rank to continue their progress.
So, when you create a new character, what do you prefer? Tell us in the forums!
This is a new post in our category Simming Questions. Here we will be asking questions about our community, our characters and our writing, and how you interact with it all.
