This has been happening off and on of late, with players bringing back old faction PCs that have not been being played for whatever reason.

If you do this, you need to let the DMs know in advance as over time factions change dynamically and the PC in question may no longer have a place. I don't think reapplying as a blanket rule is necessary, but getting DM clearance to return (and still be in the faction) is necessary.

If you want to return without being in the faction, just dump all your faction related stuff in an auto-destroy trash barrel and let us know to remove you from the forums.

This applies to all application characters, not just faction characters. The server changes constantly, and bringing back old characters can result in awkward continuity problems. "Old" is generally whenever you no longer consider your application character your main character.

This is happening again. Please stop.

And it is still happening!

If you want to bring back an old apped PC, please send in a short email explaining why the PC wasn't played, why it -will- be played now, and also new goals if the ones on the app are no longer accurate.

Thanks!
