In regard to point #1 in Ninja's post above, I'd like to provide a few additional examples that active and/or long-term players may select for special compensation from the following list. Certain "lesser" incentives can be combined - such as bonus gold coupled with a building deed to help purchase furniture for it.
--------------------
-Bonus Gold
-Building and/or Merchant Deed(s)
-Special starting item(s) with properties requested by the PC and approved by the DMs
-Start with a unique benefit that a DM can provide such as additional known languages (including telepathy), knowing the Arcane Combat Style, and so on
-Start with enough notoriety (only) to join a guild, temple, or legion of your new PC's choice
-Start with a unicorn or nightmare mount
-Never have assassins attack your PC
-Never have slavers attack your PC
-Create a new PC with a special background, title, or position (Thayan Noble, Autharch, etc)*
-Retire an existing PC (can't be recreated after the reboot) and place in the world as a NPC Questgiver, Faction Contact or Leader, Boss Enemy, etc*
-Create one special building or location (house, tower, potential faction headquarters, planar pocket, etc) in the world to which your new PC may have access. It will be the player's responsibility to create the area either in the toolset, or decorate it as a player-owned building in-game prior to the reboot
*The caveat here is that it cannot conflict with source material though.
--------------------
Note that this list is not all-encompassing and while you can certainly request something beyond what is listed here, please be aware that requests which require moderate-to-considerable design work will likely not be approved outright. I also encourage all players to take advantage of point #2 to have your current PCs accomplish their "wildest dreams" in the current iteration of Thay, and then consider what benefit(s) you would like for a new PC in point #1. Reach out to a DM with your ideas to make it happen!
