Too bad there isn't some sort of complicated quest for an alignment change that could only be initiated through drastic RP to start the turn towards darkness or light and then always have the risk that should you fail, your soul is forfeit.

If you had a character you really loved, chances are, you wouldn't want an alignment change if there was a risk of losing the character for all time should you fail in the quest.

I am still under the opinion that there needs to be some sort of way to have your alignment changed. There are at least two dieties (Alshain and Meissa come to mind) that part of their mission is to turn people towards a certain direction in life. Obviously, there needs to be some things that can never be changed: delf, elf, griffon, pallie, hellion, necro and maybe some others that I cannot think of at the moment.

I'd love to see an automatic system for alignment change. As is, it's IC knowledge that one's aura cannot be changed, barring the most extraordinary circumstances. This cuts down on attempts to talk with enemies rather than leaping to PK.

Alignment change doesn't make alignment meaningless as long as change is rare and costly. If it can only be done once, to only a reasonably similar alignment, at the cost of 3 trains, and only under the supervision of a god's high priest - then I think it would be a great addition. As Muktar noted, you just have to prevent alignment-restricted classes and races from using the system.

I can see events altering a character's history. Unfortunately, I have never ever heard in my year and a half here of anyone ever being allowed to change aura. I was told to give it up ages ago. And in a sense, knowing you can never change how you were born, really does affect RP, both in good and bads ways.

Anyone who has known Avaleena for awhile knows that she still tries to be a good person, but also has (almost bitterly) accepted the fact she'll never be allowed to truly join the religion of her choice because she isn't pure enough.

And in the truth of the matter, a persons personality is strongly developed before the age of 5. It takes SERIOUS life-changing things to really affect a person and make them change beyond that.
