I may be the only one who thinks this, but I hope that if the game does get restarted they don't fire up a bunch of 2x xp weeks and toss everyone lvl 50s (unless we get user data back). If there's just an orgy of loot, farming, AE teams, DFB lfm!!!, etc. then I think people would just get burned out in a couple weeks.
I'd rather just have the game on and team with folks happy to be back and get their xp the old-fashioned way. It'd be cool to start fresh and run with I24 the 'we fixt everything' backbone. At least for the first few weeks.
Then, once the honeymoon fervor starts to die down you unload your 2x xp, rikti invasions, summer blockbusters, ToTing, etc (one per week) to carry things through for a few more months. Hopefully, by then there'll be some news released that gets people fired up for more.
I feel that if a 2nd chance is granted, we should be in it for the long haul: CoX2 that might be a couple years away. Not just blowing our loads on trying to purple out our WS by the end of day one.
