It would be nice to get our characters back, but at this point, it doesn't look like that will happen. But half a loaf is still better than none. If I have to work up my characters again from scratch, I can live with that.
And truth be told, there are a few characters I'm excited to do again and to do them properly this time. My main, Warrior 2, was originally a energy/fire blaster. The combo has zero synergy, and honestly didn't fit with his concept overall, anyway, but I was new to MMOs and had no idea what I was doing.
Now I'll recreate him as either a fire melee/energy aura brute or a fire/energy melee blaster.
I'll definitely be keeping my kinetics/dual pistols corruptor, but will likely change several of his power choices.
And I can't wait to finally be able to try my dark/nature affinity or dark/time troller. :-)
So...this is all happening on Friday, right? I need to get this stuff done! ;-)
