The idea of an aging character seems incredibly cool in my mind.

1. Will mean some people may not care too much about losing things in PvP... since they'll die one day no matter what.

2. It will encourage people to find means to provide for their offspring/next character, much as a parent would. (I am assuming once you die of old age they dont ban you for life lol).

3. It may create an entire market for cosmetic people. Provided the game allows for people being able to improve others' looks... SWG pre-NGE, hairstylist anyway? (Imperial Hairstylist... because the Emperor needs make-up)

4. I am an altaholic. Yes sir. This will help a TON... cuz no matter what, my character will eventually die and have to have a new one anyway!
