The DM team requests that if your main character goes on an extended break of longer than 30 days you are required to speak with a DM team member prior to returning to get approval to continue to play that character. This ensures that any plots, characters or storylines you were involved in can be adjusted to explain your character's absence.
This applies to all PCs including faction and appliciation characters.
Feel free to speak with a DM team member prior to taking a extended break.
Also the DM team are always open to running and helping with retirement events or even becoming NPCed if this is something you would like to see happen to a PC that has been active for along time. Feel free to speak with a team member if this appeals to you.
Thankyou
Netheril DM Team
