As for me..I'll wait till I'm about 70 or 80 by then I doubt I'll have much use for my lowers that a good ole fashion pLastic tube wont take care of...

Just think..Id could live to be a 400 year Dirty Ole Man!!..plus I'll have time to make my own SE Mod!

Seriously...imagine the sights you might see..maybe even actually visit an off world colony!

It kinda goes back to the ole question..If Aliens offered you a chance to see the Universe but you had to leave everything here behind forever...would you?

To put it simple: If someone would tell me: "I have good and bad news. Good news is that you will live next 400 years. Bad news is that you can't have sex ever again.", I would propably kill myself.

Though, right now I might actually agree to that, because most propably cloning of body parts and alternate aging prevention systems are to be invented in near future, say during next 100 years. Then I would simply have new body(parts) I were missing and keep orgies never heard of

I'd take the same route as GD. Live to 70 or so, then extend from there and play all the games I could ever want, go to all the places I've never seen.

I dont want to live forever. I wouldn't want to see all the people I love and hold dear growing old and dieing.

Now, I wouldn't mind being able to love forever, but that may just be down to experience and technique!

Let me clarify..if the plumbing still works at 70 or 80 and some female is willing to run it..i'd MUCH Rather go out with a smile and a pain in the chest...if its not...living to 400 would at least give me a decent chance at winning a 250 system, High Bonus etc campaign!!

Ypu may even fullfil the Holy Grail of SEIV - build a Sphere World in Proportions game and fill it with Cultural Centers.

No, even 400 years would not be enough.
