> Lets say my high lvl character has no role...then i add one when he becomes a hero. What i wanna know is how often do imm's look for a role, is it to late, is my character marked as not having one and to pass by to the next character loged on? Well, it depends on what purpose your role has. If you are using the role situation as leverage to have a shot at quests, then the sooner the better. You never know when you are being observed and/or making an impression on somebody that will come back and haunt you later. Compare it to empowerment. How likely would it be for an Imm to empower you if you didn't have a role until you got to level 10? How likely would it be for you to be empowered if you didn't have a role until 2 minutes before you sent up your first pray? I suppose anything is possible, but you should always be playing your characters as if you know you are being watched. All it takes is one low-level imm to notice you are screwing up before it gets held against you in future matters. Having a role can only cover your ass, and show you have some forethought to what you are doing.
