Fresh start vs old characters (come in)

[phyriel]

I say do both, deffo don't wipe database at any point tho. It would make people loose trust and devolve community over time into pure casuals that don't tryhard or nolife (because server might be wiped again if it was wiped once). Thats a bad principle to set.

[Holystrike]

No reason to assume your characters would be permanent, no private server lasts forever. That being said, Nostalrius has the ability to restore the old characters, if they choose not to restore them, that would be very disappointing. They already said that they could release the database (back at shutdown), which most likely includes the characters. I did not have days invested on my characters, but Nostalrius, if you're planning a relaunch, please don't screw over the thousands of old players that invested a significant portion of their time into their characters. If you have the ability to return the database, there shouldn't be any reason not to get our characters back.

Another thing to say about progression realms, to everyone saying "it wouldn't be fair if we got the characters back because it's be too hard to catch up". Do you think it'd be fair to wipe over 800k accounts just because you came a year late? I came 3 months before shutdown. Despite being an entire year behind, I didn't become jealous of everyone else because they started playing a year before I had.

Personally, I wouldn't be terribly upset if they decided to do a fresh start. But seriously Nost, if you're relaunching, think it over. If you still have the database, why wipe the 800k accounts that have supported your server since Day 1?

Very well said.

Fresh start, will be awsome to battle for realm 1st ! But anyway let's just hope it will be back thats the most important thing for now !

if u were a warrior and didnt have asscandy u'd be easily replaced.

My Zink'rokh suggests otherwise!

Anyways, with a R13 Hand of Rag Paladin & R13 War with 2 weeks left to GM, I'll let you figure out which side of the fence I'm on. Hello to old faces btw, Morathe included ^^.

Fresh Start please.

Starting with the old characters will feel like going back to an x-girlfriend, seems like a good idea but it is not.

Is that you ? If its the case, i understand why you dont care about a fresh start XD

It should be released with our characters.

Nost was already hard to level on, imagine all the new people plus all the people who already played the game. It would be overkill. People who didn't play before need to accept that people were here first, it isn't the end of the world that people are already doing things. You'll still have TONS of new people to catch up with and many guilds will still do old content without a doubt.
