Novice tag changed on me and idk why...

[Ashieka]

I am a returning player and started off with the "Returner" flower tag next to my name. A few days ago, the tag completely disappeared naturally next to my name on my character yet still popped up in NOVICE chat.

However, a day after that my tag swapped from the flower to the "New Adventurer" sprout tag and I have no idea why. My husband, who is also a returning player, still has his Returner flower tag and we came back at the same time.

Any thoughts, ideas, or knowledge to share regarding this that can help me make sense out of it?

After about 7 days of playtime your 'Returner' status will drop off.
If, at this time, you otherwise qualify for the 'New Adventurer' it'll be applied. New adventurers are anyone who hasn't completed the 2.x main storyline as well as have over 168 hours of /playtime. So if you don't have these two flags cleared you'll continue to be a New Adventurer until you do. Well unless you just disable your status manually.

I appreciate the clarification!

Thank you, Canadane.
