Dear Cyberstep,
I've played Onigiri for about a week, just got to level 12 and about to proceed to level 13. I was hoping that they wouldn't wipe the characters, as most of us put our non-existent tears into this game from dying against Tiamat and Momotarou.
I have a suggestion: Instead of wiping everything, how about putting all the work into one huge update for the current client? I know nothing of coding and was hoping that the game could go open beta with a huge update to the current client. Without wiping everything. I, and many other players have a ton of good gear, and would be very saddened to see all of our hard work thrown away. It would be like playing Dark Souls over again because some random person deleted your main character and having to go through all of that stuff again. But it's worse this time around because of the 2/10 experience rate. That's like starting a new character on Dark Souls on NG+.
So, please.. Take in consideration for your fans and don't wipe us.
Sincerely,
A huge fan, Mekrokan.
