Wow, Ben! You don't waste any time! I logged off for a bit and when I came back on there was a new line with "transfer your retired subscription" (at least, I haven't seen it before now)

CORRECTION: the "transfer your retired subscription" has been there for a while. The "reactivate retired detective" is new...

Can't say I can agree with this completely, but I can see/understand why it was done.
Either way, thanks Ben.

Thanks Ben, so how does this work? When a detective is reactivated what will happen, will they be brought back with less skills and money, or will they be brought back at full capacity?

THe conditions seem to be:
1. 25% less xp and skill points correlated to xp
2. 90% of your money
3. One random piece of equipment
Pretty mild in my opinion.

This is all I'm going to say about the ramifications of this change:
I'm going to retire Serges and resurrect him, so I can clear the one FA I have on my record. I'll stow my cash and equipment in my agency so they don't get affected by the penalties. I'll lose 500,000 experience and drop to -7 skill points, which can be made up within a week, instead of over $300,000, which is harder to accrue.
This is going to be a ridiculously exploitable change. Shady is now utterly powerless. FAs are now meaningless unless you are a top 30 detective with aspirations to remain there.
I'm not going to say anything more about my opinion on this change, except... you can't re-close Pandora's Box.
Welcome to the new era of Sleuth.

Will they still have the FAs? Can they do this as many times as they want?

No, roamie. I tested the system about 20 minutes ago and brought back a character with 0 FAs twice.
