===Remorting===
"Remorting" (also known as "rebirth", "ascending/ascension", "reincarnating", or "[[new game plus]]") is a game mechanic in some role-playing games. Once a character reaches a specified level limit, the player can elect to start over with a new version of the character. The remorting character generally loses all levels, but gains an advantage that was previously unavailable, such as access to different [[race (fantasy)|race]]s, [[avatar (virtual reality)|avatar]]s, [[character class|class]]es, skills, or otherwise inaccessible play areas within the game. A symbol often identifies a remorted character.

The term "remort" comes from [[Multi-user dungeon|MUD]]s.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Natalia|title=What is Remort?|url=http://tharsis-gate.org/articles/imaginary/WHATIS~1.HTM|website=Tharsis Gate|publisher=Imaginary Realities|access-date=2016-05-24|date=May 1999|archive-date=2016-03-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160329231710/http://tharsis-gate.org/articles/imaginary/WHATIS~1.HTM|url-status=live}}</ref> In some MUDs, players may become [[Immortal (MUD)|immortal]] characters—administrative staff—simply by advancing to the maximum level. These users are generally expected to distance themselves from gameplay, and interaction with players may be severely limited. When an immortal chooses to vacate this position to resume playing the game—usually from level one just as with any new character—he or she is said to have remorted, "becoming mortal again".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Towers|first1=J.
