I'd rather Ryzom went bankrupt again, maybe someone else would have bought the game without character wipe, or Winchgate would open game data as they did with source code and assets. I think that character wipe, at least in the way as it's planned, is not a good idea.
... I've never thought it will end up like this.
I agree completely. Sell the game to someone who cares about the community and their long, hard earned efforts of getting their characters where they are now. You're betraying your most loyal subscribers. I'd even rather see you triple the cost of subscribing than a full wipe.
