What's this about a 'Restart'? (AKA "Topic of Interest")

[HelveteSong]

Some people have a metric sh**-ton of characters, so having them resubmit ten profiles at once would be ridiculous.

Why do I feel like you're talking about me? xD

Also, when will the restart actually happen?

[Edit]: Everything is going to be gone. So, at best, you could make a list for the things that you would like to be recreated.

Is transferring to dedicated really necessary in the first place? I don't know about everyone else, but I've never experienced lag on CotH except when I have issues with my home internet shutting itself off. It's not that the restart itself bothers me at all really (as long as we get to keep most of our Echo and Gnomer stuffs), I just don't see the point in wiping all the characters and spawned stuff to get rid of lag that doesn't seem to exist in the first place. If people are having lag problems, then yeah. Go ahead. XD

Depending on exactly what happens, it may be ideal to integrate what happens on retail with what happened here. I know for the Echo Isles, it would be feasible. For Gnomer... mostly due to attrition and an overall decline of interest, there may be more of a focus with what happens on retail, with perhaps the tragic losses of the GSF prompting the rest of the gnomes to jump to action.

Heh, I still have the vague idea of restarting GSF RP on Neera in a month or so, so don't give up on them just yet! ...Unless the restart is going to be in less than a month or so. I dunno.

Would it be possibly to, say, transfer over one character per player? This way, we wouldn't have as much of a hassle when dealing with items and the like.

[Drumgar]

My first server restart! Ohboy! This sounds awesome!!! So yeah, d(^ ^d) I patiently await your hard work.

[Maelstrom]

As a Gnome player, I'd have to agree with not giving up on the GSF JUST yet.

Pleeeeease.

Definitely more than one, I can think of people who have more than one character they'd want.

I understand we are only retconning what is necessary to stay within lore, but with this server wipe may we ( we as in individuals ) go further with our retcons? For instance, if I wanted to reroll Nexariel as a Magi instead of a Shaman and start from scratch and treat all of her interactions etc as never having taken place, may I do so provided I change her profile accordingly?

Starting from scratch is something I want to do with quite a few of my characters in fact, hehe.

We aren't going to a dedicated server. What we are going to attempt is to change the core. Meaning, we won't be ArcEmu any more, and will have a lot more options available that what we have at the moment.

This.

Oh, and go work n ' stuff, Kretn00b. Sounds like a change that will benefit everyyyyone.

[Harmonic]

Yes, you can. We are giving you guys the option to do this as well as fit current characters with existing lore.

Trust me, Sin is going to be -completely- different. ...Aside from the fact he'll be alive again.

[Anski]

A certain blonde hothead might return on my side, for those of you who have been here a while.

[Esthrunil]

Full character wipe on my part, I wager. All's of 'em is gones-es, and I'd probably try something new. If I'm here for it, that is. :P

Oh... Okay. *Tech nub*

Sounds cool, though. XD

[Harmonic]

All it means is that it will be easier for us, and there will be cool things for everyone. ^^

Moving to Trinity is a smart move. Had a server with a buddy for a few friends that ran on that. I can tell you for sure it runs great with 1-5 people, if that's any consolation at all.

But I don't know if I'm understanding correctly -- we have to completely redo profiles? I don't understand why if they're the same character. Of course, unless they were highly influenced by something that now didn't happen.
