On Sept. 21st the testers (Alpha and Beta) were given early entry into the Game after the reset that had taken place a week earlier. We were given a head start before the Game went Live on the 27th. This gave us a chance to learn some skills and gather some currants so that, hopefully, we could purchase our old homes again or perhaps go for something different. The World was New again and we started as Newbs without Bags or property. It was a unique experience. We had the advantage of having done most things before so we knew what to do and how to do it.
Before the Reset, I lived in a 35K house in Alakol. After the Reset, I was able to make enough to move into a comfy Bog house in Kalavana. I did that much faster than when I first started playing the Game during Alpha. At that time it took me about a week, I think, to purchase a Groddle Forest treehouse. I had a great time starting from the Beginning but I don't think I would like to do it again yet, you never know...
