How does the clone system work?
Players have the option of purchasing clones of their character as a precaution against an untimely demise. Upon death, a percentage of a character’s skills may be lost, depending on the value of his clone. These clones vary in quality and cost. The more expensive the clone, the better it preserves the skills of the previous incarnation. Characters without a clone at the time of death will be automatically issued a standard clone of the poorest quality. A character can never drop below its starting skill level, so death makes little difference to newly created characters, but can be devastating for those that are more advanced and not protected by a good quality clone.
