You may change your deity selection once more.

I wonder about the justification for the limits on GS deity worship. It seems that a character should be able to grow and change direction and beliefs as they do so but this seems to not be encouraged. I think that RP opportunities would only expand as there would be more opportunity for RP for those that play religious zealots and those they might wish to convert to their chosen deity.

Hell it might even lead to holy wars. Heh. Crusade anyone?

They plan on having a conversion system eventually, so people can do what you said, but word is, it will be very, very difficult and long, and will probably involve the old God killing you many many times, especially if it is A) a violent God or B) you're converting to a very diametrically opposed God.

It is in an area where the deities are present and have effect upon the world. If your going to pick a 'side' you should really have done all that soulsearching beforehand.

Flipflopping sides can detract from roleplay as many people would abuse it for mechanical purposes.

As it stands, no one else can really see who your converted to so for now roleplay it how you see fit.(The exception is the profile command but it is an IC method to determine it so inset some explanations here, it is time for dinner)
