Well all of GoJ are planning to return after full wipe so he won't be alone

Good for you.

To be honest. Im very annoyed at anyone who would return and put time into the game.

Wow, that is a very selfish attitude. Just because you can't find a reason to enjoy the game if there is a full wipe, you want everyone to join in your misery.

You are sending a message to the company that they can do and get away with anything they want. That they can treat their paying customers like trash and that that is OK.

I think its absolutely aweful. Just my opinion.
Really, treating us like trash? They gave us 15 days notice of the intended change, they could have waited until the 22nd. They did what they could to soften the loss of skills by increasing XP for subscribes to 2x. They scheduled events to help with the transition.

Then they listened to the customer dismay at the loss of skills and started considering ways to save skill levels.

I don't feel like trash at all, I feel like the company came to a crossroads and mapped out the best transition they could. Then, when they saw the impact of that map, they started looking at alternatives.

Also, the idea of starting from scratch is appealing in its own way and am seriously considering retiring Gorran regardless of the outcome of the wipe.

Gorran,
I have not called anyone any names or made personal insults. Maybe you could at least do the same?

Odd, I don't see any name calling nor personal insults. You clearly state that you are very annoyed with anyone who would return and I clearly state that that is a selfish attitude.

I am happy there are those who will be happy with the game. I've lost the game a couple of times already and never expected to find Gorran intact when I returned. He was and that was wonderful but if he were gone, I would have played anyway.

We are all frustrated but Im hardly selfish. I subbed for a year after only playing for 2 months to support this game and its community.

Regarding the other argument:

<WG> we have to wipe you there is no other way
*users complain*
<WG> well maybe we dont..

that doesnt strike you as peculiar? really?? Sounds like someone wanted to pull a fast one and now thinks they can no longer get away with it.. but maybe im crazy.

No, for I believe a very simple maxim: Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity.

Pulling a fast one would have been: We're merging the shards and everything will be good! (wipe) Oh crap, we lost all the data and can't get it back, let's all cry together.

You don't pull a fast one by giving people 2 weeks notice.
