Not in CF I haven't. In CF you age die at old age at the end of a long life, wither is one of the very few ways you can AGE die prematurely. Trying to make it sound like you died early due to natural causes, i.e. a heart attack does not make sense in the realm of CF and the use of the wither commune. Seriously, if you want to make that argument then random permanent natural cause deaths should be implemented.

I feel it is a horrible balancer. I am guessing the number of characters who have age died due to wither is a small number, no more then a couple dozen if that many. So its effect on game balance considering the thousands of characters played and who have been affected by wither (but not age died) over the years have not had any consquences. That is they deleted or con died before the "game balance" effect of wither could even come into play. So what is it actually doing to balance anything? Nothing.

At the VERY least the helpfile should be rewritten it clearly states the victim is permanetly aged, the definition of AGED is not in question but obviously you don't understand it.
