Afterlife Overhaul?

[Kaden]

Make it so that it could be attained within a suitable amount of time (read: a few months at most).

Relativity at its finest. I don't think getting out of Heaven really requires all that much. We both know there were plenty of times where you could have been writing to get out of Heaven sooner but you chose to write Orion's history. And look at it, if half that effort had gone into actually trying to get out as quickly as possible, it definitely wouldn't have taken you more than a couple months.

EDIT: Re-read the OP again. What I had already written isn't really relevant, but I'll condense it if someone wants to read it anyway.[spoiler]

To address something in the OP: why differentiate currencies between Heaven and Hell? Why not just do everything with a single currency? Call it... I dunno... Life Points or something. Completing Quests (regardless of Heaven/Hell) earns LP and it is later spent to revive. Lets say I die and go to Heaven. I quest there until I earn enough LP to come back to life. Because of the way the rewards worked out, though, I end up with... 2 extra. I die again and am sent to Hell this time. Instead of starting completely from scratch, I would already have 2 LP towards my next revival.

You'd need to say something like, if you have enough LP to pay for a revival, you can't earn anymore Quest rewards (so you could still RP in the Afterlife if you wanted to, but wouldn't be able to stockpile enough LP to just walk in and out of death a dozen times) and if one part of the Afterlife is supposed to be harder to get out of than the other, you can reflect that in the revival cost. If you're in Heaven, revival is 8 LP, but if you're in Hell it costs 12. Or whatever.

While I still don't like the idea of adding additional currencies, there are ways to keep it from being more cumbersome than it needs to be.[/spoiler]

Like I said, I reread the OP and the first question I asked was: why not use zeni? Instead of making up a currency system to fit the needs, why not use the one we have? The consensus is that there isn't anything to do with zeni and that its too hard to get. Well here's a great place to use it and people seem to think it will be easy enough to get. Its easy enough to make up reasons for why it would make sense IC, and the one rule we have about it can certainly be changed.
