When the game is "restarted" will we keep our account names?

Question per subject line? Do we get to keep our character names associated with our email? Just wondering. Sorry if someone already asked this, but I couldn't find it in the search. :(

  • We kept our name and avatars. They usually get rid of XP, currants, items and houses.

  • Yes, they said that unless they run into a situation where they have no other choice but to reset all items (plop happens), we would keep the Yeti too, but it has to stay in your inventory.

  • What is the purpose of resetting our accounts?

  • Good point, I suppose to clear servers, start from a clean slate for all players to try out quests etc. from the beginning, finding bugs...?

  • It probably has to do with changes to the database structure. When you make a change in the way things are stored, you either have to toss out old data or convert it over tot he new system. They could probably find a way to migrate all the data, but it can get very complicated, and I'm sure glitch has a very complicated DB.

    They probably will also want to reset before beta and launch, to keep things fair.

  • I think it might be happening right now-I can't buy anything off of auction, nor can I put anything up. Also, my xp bar says 0/0. They could just be reseting the servers or something though.

  • Something looks like it is happening. The Leadersboard has been reset in the past 5-10 minutes.

  • They're probably moving content. They usually do this before a test....! Or it's coincidence that it works out that way ;)

  • Haha, I wish. Well everything seems to be back to normal besides the leaderboard, guess that was a false alarm.

  • And now, the Leaderboard is back.

    Hmmm....me thinks something is still going to happen...
