When you make a character you can be 14-80 years old and you can weigh 125-250 kg , what the hell is up with that?

If you're 14 years old and you weigh 125kg you are not a very healthy boy!

So please lower the weight limit. People in the middle ages weren't fat as teenagers

Disturbs me aswell

Heh, there must be a lot of Mcdonald's fast food outlets in Gobaith

Yeah!

Many of the stats that are available for Illarion characters right now are unrealistic. The ages seem to be okay, but some of the weights are definitely off. Also, something funny: I believe there are reports from players with elven characters that when viewing their elf's stats in their account page, the weight always appears as "0".

For now, I don't think the three physical stats that you set will make any difference in the game right now, so go ahead and set them to whatever you want. No one (at the current time) will be able to see your character's age, body build, and height anyway unless you "#me" it.

why the hell does it matter? why does it bother you so much? just set your characters weight to a reasonable limit. like he said, no one can see it, and if someone picks 0 for their weight, that's their problem. your acting liek everyone weighs 400 pounds. And what if I wanted to rp an over weight kid? is that illigal to you guys? no one can be fat??? stop complaining about the game! they don't get paid to do this and your all demanding little tiny stupid things like this that don't matter! why work on what your weight is that only you can see, when they could be working on seeing what type of armour your character is wearing, or jobs they get!!!

I understand your offense, however, they simply said that is is unhealthy to be 125 kilos at age 14, which unless you are a VERY early bloomer, it is extremely unhealthy. Medically speaking they are absolutely correct, but I do understand that people can weigh that much when they are young. Myself, I was over 6' and weighing roughly 125-130 kilos, but if my interpretaions of European culture are correct this kind of size and weight is unheard of. It is unlike here, in the U.S. where approximately 66% of teenagers are overweight-morbidly obeese. You should take things with a grain of understanding and realize that this is an international game and not all cultures view all things the same. I am sure it would mortify most people to learnn that I weigh about 170 kilos. I am comfortable with this and would like those concerned to know that I am in pretty good health. I mean I could probably lose 10 kilos, but I am healthy enough. Anyway I am not offended and I don't think you should be either. Peace to all and here is to a calm and tranquil solution. In conclusion.....Alex says Relax.

Sure. We'll let you set your weight to whatever. Then we'll make a trap script in which if you're heavy enough you'll drop through. Then everyone will set their weight to 0. Then we'll make a script that makes it so if you're light enough you're pulled by a gust of wind into a trap. Then everyone will try to be five hundred pounds. Then we have to make all our scripts based around the assumption that you set your weight somewhere ridiculous.

I can understand if you would ask nicely that we change the limits to something more reasonable, but to be so vocal over something that isn't even used in the game so far is more than a bit petty.

Directly after the wipe the account system didn't record weight, so there are plenty of characters who are weightless currently. Shortly afterwards, the weight was done incorrectly so characters ended up being tremendously overweight. How did we get the weights that are there currently?

Someone gave us some weights and Alatar changed it to those weights. That's all something takes to be changed here: a reasonable proposal.

You're right, this is simply wrong. To my understanding, the weight is not given in kg but in "illarion stone", where one stone is about 2,5 kg.

That means that instead of having 125-250 kg you have 50-100 kg.

I checked that with the other races and it seems rather convincing.
