I believe you might be missing the point of view of many older players also. For a lot of them character wipe is equal to the death of the game. Quite a lot of people have invested a lot of time into getting their characters to where they are now. There are a large number of people who if asked to repeat the effort simply cannot do it or could take years to return to this point. Reasons like having a full time job, a family to support, studies and such.
Consider this: You have put between 4 and 8 years into a game you love and believe in. Years of subscription and thousands of hours of digging and crafting with one thing in mind. "Work hard now, put in the time and I will have my crafts mastered and the grind will be over with."
Then you get this news: We dont like the way things have turned out. The future of Ryzom is in question MAYBE it will last a little longer if we wipe your characters. Please start again.
I dont think the anger is unjust. A trust has been broken that may never be fully repaired.
