SSK and Level Pacts aren't the same thing, so I don't think one will replace the other. That said, they DID tell us in the past they'd be looking at and possibly expanding the system (more of a range, and/or more characters) in the future.
All I can say is, "Wait and see."
Are you saying level pacts break if one account is closed? Cause I just let one of them expire and really wanted to keep that level pact....

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Well I guess we'll have to see what they come up with for Issue 17 maybe we'll see an expansion on all of the little QoL items and some more powerset proliferations.
I do hope they expand on the Level Pacts though as I have quite a few family members who play and we try to stay together levelwise.

While the pacts break if one of the accounts go inactive...
I have personal experience, if you don't log into any of the pacted toons, you can still maintain the pacts. *Had 4-5 pacts with a friend, let both his accounts lapse, still has pacted toons*

My personal experience is this:
2 Accounts both with a PB/WS pacted together. One account lapsed. Later after reactivating the 2nd account on logging into PB on 2nd account I get the message that Level Pact is broken. 2nd Account was inactive for three days and I hadn't logged in on the 1st account during that time.
As it stands for anyone who is likely to let an account lapse for any amount of time level pacting is worthless fluff. How the guy I quote said it happened for him is how it always should happen. Not sure which of us got an error in the system. Or they should make it possible to pact characters that are the same level as each other switching off XP for the character that is higher until they are equal...
That MAY work if one account expires and the other guy just does not log in. Do not know about that. But I had people pacted on my two accounts. Let both accounts lapse, and every pact was broken. Most were still under 20 anyway, so I just rerolled anyway.
Hmm... didn't know the pact got broken if someone's account lapsed. Good to know. Side note, do any of you know whether you can level pact with a trial account? If so, what happens when you get to their maximum level (14 or 15 or something like that)?

You can't, I tried it when I invited a friend to the game last month. It was all "nooo, trial accounts get shafted" and I was all "Screw you, RMT bastards! Makin mah game less newbie friendly!"

Shoot, I got laid off and was a couple days late on my account. Now I lost my pacts with my daughter and brother. I hate to tell my daughter they killed out leveling pact because I was a few days late.
My brother and I often duo together, so created a couple of Level Pacts, for Heroes A and B, and Villains C and D.
We took a break earlier this year, and let our accounts lapse, both at the same time. After a couple of months or so, we renewed our accounts, both at the same time again.
Shortly after reactivation, my brother logged in as Hero A, changed location, and logged out again. Hero A didn't do anything to gain XP.
I logged in as Hero B the next day, and got a "Your Level Pact has been broken" message.
A couple of days after that, we logged in simultaneously with Villains C and D. Both Villains were still Pacted together, and remained so for the duration of our paid time.
We've since decided that we might as well not bother with Level Pacts anymore, as we often let our accounts lapse to take a break for a month or two, and any characters we'd make for a Pact would inevitably Duo together anyway. Plus, with Super Side-kicking and the ability to turn off XP, we could keep them in range of each other anyway.
I really enjoy level pacting and recently lost all my pacts when I had to let my subs slide to pay other bills, I'm wondering if there are any upcoming plans to expand on the whole level pacting system like letting people rejoin their pact if it gets broken above level 5?
Or is the whole Super Sidekick system going to take over the idea of pacts as level differences will be a non issue any more?
