While I disagree with many of the points on this post, I would support 2 weeks = 1 year.
If it were too slow, life and meeting new characters would get bland, for you would always run into the same people.
My above point.
You have a life. Good for you. It is probably better than spending time in this magnet of negativity.
Refer to my first point.
Hi. I do. You are not limited to your character staying a plain human. And even so, elderly rp can be great narrative wise. Furthermore, if you get pulled into pvp and kick someone’s butt, your 112 year old character can say he’s still kicking, pardon the pun.
