Having watched this thread for the last week or so, I'd like to make the following comments:
For the benefit of the negotiators working with NCSoft to re-establish the game:
In a perfect world, our in-game account data should be usable and included in the deal, due to the
tremendous amount of time (4 to 12 hours a day for 8-1/2 years) I personally invested in the game. Between
both of my paid accounts, I had over 400 alts tied to this game, and ironically had just started my real
life retirement a few months before the announcement of the shutdown was made. (Well, there went a lot of my
planned retirement activities.) I'm sure there are others in a similar situation as well.
In the world we live in, I assume there will be compromises made (hopefully by both negotiating parties.)
The closer the conditions under which the game re-starts matches it's condition at closing, the happier I'll
be. Activating Issue 24 would be a plus, though... grin.
That having been said, I have to admit that getting the game back at all would make me happy, I spent plenty of times running those 400+ alts from the start. Whether we 'Get It All' or "Start from Scratch" I plan on being there on opening day to take part in the celebration party to end all celebration parties. If I have to spend years starting all those alts from the beginning again, just set the date. Gonna be a whole lot of whoopin' goin' on!!!
And of course, the frosting on the cake will be watching Samuraiko's 'Resurrection Day' Video!
