Character roll back

[Androidpk]

Has anyone done this before and/or know how it works?

In what regard?

A character crash rollback is initiated by GM's who KNOW something on your character got duped. They go back to the first time it was located on your character, and restore your character back to immediately prior to that. Usually happens on game crashes to a rare few. There *IS* a limit on how far back they go. They won't just dink your guy back a year if they suddenly find it after a year. But a day? They'd toss you backwards.
A class rollback is initiated when you do something like taking an oldschool cleric, converting them to paladin, then gaining XP from say 6mil xp start, to 7mil XP finish, then want to swap back. They then roll your character back to the original class and farthest XP as the original class.
An experience rollback is when you do something RULLY stupid and a GM strips your xp and/or RPA. Known to happen for heavy scripting violations. Not a fun time.

If I wanted to have my monk converted back to his previous profession, which Simu will do for $200 or so. I'm curious on how that would work. I know I would lose whatever xp I've gotten but what about things like crafting skills, society progression, and inventory.

[JackWhisper]

As far as I know, it's a generic ruling.
You can remove inventory, and it's advised you do so anyways. I don't think they remove inventory though. But, as I am not 100%, I advise safety over all else.
As for society progression and crafting skills, assumeably they get reset back to what it was when you changed. Like if your cleric turned monk was a COLer before.. and is GOS now.. I believe you go back to CoL. Skills I believe disappear, since the XP associated with them disappears as well. This I am 95% sure on. Again, caution. Call a GM, confirm beforehand. They will answer you if they can. Or send you to Vanah to get talked to. /shudder.

I'm going to assume custom feature alterations would be changed as well. I'll definitely talk to a GM beforehand. Thanks.

[JackWhisper]

I honestly don't think that would get removed, but I've never asked about that.

You pay a $50 finding fee, they give you dates, you pick one, you pay the rest. It isn't worth it.

[Androidpk]

Probably not but it would be a lot faster than leveling up from scratch.

[Gelston]

If you want to spend it, go for it.

Maybe Monks will get some love now that the Paladins spell list was revised? (or the current Monk GM leaves... trying to slow combat down through monks. what a joke!)

Heh, knowing my luck they would get some loving after I switched back to paladin.

It's $250 to convert a monk back to previous profession. With that you get a week of instant migration and a fixstat. I had converted to Voln as part of the monk conversion so I was given a society reset as well. It took several weeks for mine to go through. You go back to the date you converted and all XP is lost. My BPs were kept, though.

Why would you get a fixstat?

[JackWhisper]

Because 'Different classes require drastic differences in stat allocation'

I know that but I thought the process was just to revert back to a previous character save. I would have thought you would get the stars you had before the conversion. Not that I mind, my paladins stats weren't set very well.

It's in the fine print. It's the only reason I converted my monk back to ranger - he needed a fixstat anyway. At the time the simucoin store didn't exist and were going for 35-40m anyway.
