Yeah, being immortal is nice. They'll live for a very long time. Barney was around for more than 300 years, and I believe there are even older drawings hanging around.
But there are disadvantages to being immortal. One that pops up in my head is that, if a zoner were maimed, such as lose an arm or the ability to walk, it would be permanent. True, Rudy could help, but considering ChalkZone's size, it's likely there are many zoners who don't know who Rudy is, or what a creator is. Craniac is one such zoner who had no idea there were creators. So those zoners who don't know him, if they get damaged, it's permanent; Rudy can't help them.
This is like real life. If you lose a leg, you can't get it back. You can get a prosthetic, but that's it. But with zoners, this remains with them for the rest of their life. While some might be able to cope, what about more unstable zoners? Would they be driven to suicide due to their eternal disability?
