While I'm a bit sad that all old characters are gone, I have to put it in perspective that until a week ago I never thought that was possible.
What I hope someone is working on is a way to save and reload character data for the future. That way we can move between servers without starting over **EVERY** time.
Hmm. This new 'Euro' law re: copyright seems to have them mindful. So the sooner an 'ice cream' for dummies version comes out the better allowing discreet solo/LAN and P2P play with 'a 'server of 50-200-1250..... ?
A quandry but an temporary one, perhaps?
It is a 'temp' server, currently by their own admission whilst i24 begins a 'de-spag' re-write to optimise it etc.
And that will surely allow tools for modding and a plug in for multi-server access to save progress and transfer to another server. The dust has to settle from the 'shot that was heard across Paragon City....'
The technical 'make life easiers' will probably come around in time. The optimisations are full steam ahead. Half a year, perhaps wider access to allow 'dummies' like me to run their own 'alternate universes.' With different bias and flavours.
Still, if one could 'run their own' server...your characters would be safe on your own hard drive etc.
One thing. I don't recall it being this slow going to level. Lol. Even on team. I must be getting old.
Ah. the joy of being a beginner again... Commited some rookie errors. (No, we don't need to go into those...)
Azrael.
