there are going to be consequences for starting over, big consequences, and if they are worth going through over a silly little dispute, then when does it end? are you going to need to restart again? pfft

if this idea is implemented, i really believe it should be limited to players level 10 and below. anyone above level 10 should be stuck with what they have. exceptions could be made, maybe? this whole thing is entirely up to discretion, and i think it could cause too many problems for it to be worthwhile

on top of that, what about the occasional person who has a drunk roommate that likes to do stupid drek? what if i come back tomorrow, after a night of debauchery, to see that my account is level 1? blah! i'm sure you'd fix it after a little while, but that would be a kick in the balls!!!!

seriously though, i think restarting is extreme, and, even in the worst cases, disputes can be settled as long as you're willing to calm down and discuss whatever happened. too many people in this game are unwilling to admit fault, and are more wiling to just flip out and throw fists in any way shape or form, whether it be hosping others, paying others to hosp others, starting flame wars on the forums, or whatever, all ideas that do not involve simple talking.


the fact that so many people have questioned you about restarting really tells us something about the crowd that we have, and i simply don't like that mind set.



very nice that you've given it so much thought, zenith, but i think that the fact that so many people want it is absolutely ludicrous

Some actually don't have any enemies and just want a fresh start. But I agree, a majority of them probably stem from that player doing something stupid to someone stronger.

As for the "haha I got into his account, now take that!" type of restart, perhaps making it a "request" rather than an automatic deal would solve this (and give the person time to think).
