Point taken; however, many of you are missing the point of this thread.
It is not about a payment method, as many have tried to make it.
This is simply about recognition of effort.
Also, the entire point of all of this (1.0, 2.0, etc) is to ensure that Le Saga du Ryzom continues.
To this effect, there have been very viable options put forth.
At this point, I would be in favor of a "one-time payment" option, that would not lock anyone into anything, in order to keep a character as they were before the announcement.
This serves all players.
I know ppl have given away things since then, possibly even deleted characters, and many have probably come to terms with losing all of their items, but I'm quite certain the data previous to the first announcement is still in tact. WG probably expected an adverse reaction, and any DEV worth their salt, would have taken the time to make backups of all data.
I am quite certain that the disrespect exhibited here and elsewhere, will be very unwelcomed on the new server.
