How are reconnection numbers determined?
The formula that WEG used (most of the time) is as follows: • – To determine the difficulty for a character from realm A to reconnect in realm B, first find the largest difference in axioms where A is greater than B. • – Take that difference and then add +1 for every other axiom in realm A that is higher than realm B. • – Next you add in a “fudge factor” based on the current value of the difference: if the value is 0-5, add +3; if the value is 6-10, add +2; if the value is 11-15, add +1; and if the value is greater than 15, leave it unchanged. Basically, that’s it. However, WEG has often fudged the value even further to reflect world laws and other intangibles not reflected in the axioms.
