I can definitely see why it would feel unfair to be asked to pay for the same things twice. On the other hand, after over a year and a half of not being able to play *at all*, I'm quite alright paying a little bit extra beyond a basic subscription. If that even turns out to be the case, in the end. First things first though, let's get TO that point.
Speaking of which... *holds torch extra high*
I wouldn't wanna pay for the game twice, let alone powersets, costumes, packs, and powers I already bought....but if that's what it takes to get back then I guess I'll have to find a way to pay for them eventually. I'd hate to fight over names though, I wonder if it would be too hard to impliment what others like Cryptic currently uses, "hiding" your global name behind your character name so names aren't such a big issue, especially if we reduce the number of servers. However with all that said I'm more worried about edition items and perks. I owned both DVD sets, HvV, Arc, Mac (even though I'm PC), and two copies of Rouge after preorder. I would beg they just throw that stuff either into a Vet perk or let everyone have it. PSI-on won't be the same without the cape of the four winds.
BTW guys I'm very glad we stuck together through all this stuff, especially after listening to the Good Gamer Guys and being reminded about how bad other communities are to each other.
