So after a string of, well, really bad luck, I've been thinking this over. When is it appropriate to retire a character, really?

How early is too early? How late is just right?

When you no longer have fun with the character? When you can't seem to think of any particular new goal, or that goal seems unattainable? How many deaths, is death? The first time you're not saved, or do you keep trying until there's nothing left but a husk?

Of course its great when they have a happy ending, but I can't imagine every character gets one :D

Curious to hear what opinions there are around.
