Remort Tiers

A player's "remortal status" refers to one of three tiers: non-remortal, first remortal, or second remortal; these are commonly called "mortal," "minor remort," and "major remort." Each tier has 100 levels, and when you remort into the next tier, you start off at level 1. This effectively gives each character 300 "levels" to progress through; note that at each tier, the experience requirements greatly increase!

Non-Remort

Non-remort, or mortal characters can only be base class and base races. All new characters created start as a non-remort and must progress through. There are some items that only mortal characters can wear, but they aren't as powerful as what the next two remort tiers can achieve. There are also "off-limits" areas, like Aur-Vindi, which weren't created for mortals.

Benefits of non-remort:

• Quickly levels while running, and even faster as a groupie.
• Easy to see quick progression
• Lots of early quests

Considerations:

• Experience table to gain levels will grow in difficulty
• As a non-remort, you have the option to stay non-player-killable
• Not as many character customization options as a major remort
• The majority of areas were created with minor or major remorts in mind
• Low-to-no practices and percents in your skills and spells

What to look forward to:

• A second tier of skills, spells, and racial abilities
• More equipment options
• More reliable and better area options available for running

Minor Remort

As a minor remort, the world becomes a little easier and a little more open. Though few areas are restricted by remort tier, as a character grows in stats and pools, more of the realm can be visited, quested, and ran.

Benefits of minor remort:

• More item and equipment options available
• Race and class progression, leading to better racial abilities and more skills and spells

Considerations:

• Experience table to gain levels will grow in difficulty
• As a minor remort, you have the option to stay non-player-killable
• Not as many options as a major remort regarding

What to look forward to:

• Subclass specializations
• More equipment options

Major Remort

This is the "final" tier of character progression. At the end of major remort progression, your character effectively puts you as a level 300 character with a powerful race and unique sub-class–there are 2,610 combinations of race and class you can be, so this tier presents a player with the most flexibility.

Benefits of major remort:

• All item and equipment options available
• Can still gain pools, stats, and practices on your way to level 100
• The whole realm of Nodeka is open to you
• Most options in terms of race and class combinations
• Strongest race options
• Master and Expert channels

Considerations:

• Most difficult experience table to gain levels
• Can no longer stay non-player-killable
• Most high-level equipment has stat requirements

What to look forward to:

• Further progression like augment limit
• As you grow in size, finding new areas to run

Help File

Looking at "help remort" shows a little more info:

Usage: remort (shows list of available options)
Usage: remort <number> (attempts to remort into option listed)

Example:

Remorting allows you to increase your power in race and class. There are two
remorts: minor and major.

Minor remorting (which must always come first) costs 10,000 platinum and all
of your experience (you need at least 500 million xp).

Major remorting (only possible after minor remorting) costs 20,000 platinum
and all of your experience (you need at least 1 billion xp).

Remorting offers improved stats, health, magical ability, new skills or
spells and permanent improvements in racial abilities. Also, the cost of 
enhancing/training stats decreases as you remort.

When remorting, you will be dropped back to level one and you will lose some of
your class bonuses gained from leveling, such as stats (dex, str), hit points, 
mana, spirit, and endurance. However, you will *not* lose any enhancements or 
trains, and any bonuses on hit points, mana, spirit or endurance. By the time 
you reach level 100 again, you will be bigger, stronger, and much more 
powerful. Note, you will *never* lose enhancements/trains from remorting.

Important:

No donation is required for either minor or major remorting.

That last statement is of note: it was not always the case. As of the "Update 12/27/2006," Nijlo decided to remove the $20 cost it would take to remort. Before this requirement was removed there was a common practice to "buy a donation," which was to pay a certain amount of platinum to a character who would then pay the money to Nodeka.
