[Vote] Old "beta" character recovery

[chocochip95]

I actually have leveld a 60 here again.
I just want to get my character back that i invested so much time in.
And it's not the same for your retail characters, they are still there on retail, you can still go and play them. We can't play our characters

Good luck, Svala. I'm all for it but the problem is that hardly anyone on the forum know what we are actually talking about. They just don't know/care that it was never stated that we were "testing" things... I think that even Clank was gone at this point so it's only Daemon, Viper and about a dozen players or so who were on TS that night... I'm really curious to see what staff will say about it when they finally decide that it's time, if ever, but I'm afraid that maybe they just don't care.

For the record, end of beta announcement from February... 2012: https://web.archive.org/web/20120402194 ... lrius.org/

I’d like to get my old characters as much as you but lets be serious Nostalrius has become something completely different.
Each character on “beta” has a different history, it may have been leveled by hand or instant 55/60, may have farm ranks during a “rightfull” period or have farm silithus to r13 while it was empty ( http://imgur.com/amWJ3lQ just to give an example…), may have farm his raid gear while interfaction was on, and so on.
How could you justify in front of 5K+ players that a few players get characters that were leveled/geared in a completely different conditions ?

You have to understand that at some point Nostalrius how we knew it was dead, so the staff took a harsh decision to reset it, we lost our characters in the process but got a populated server with nice scripts to enjoy on the other side.

The rank can be reset.
We could at least try to find conditions with the new community?

[rewind]

Well if we reset everything that might be litigious then there is nothing left.
Reset gear from dungeons raid because of interfaction/ pvp rank / even your leveling to 60 wasn't the same cause server was empty.
You only keep a level 60 char with reputations, what's the point ?

if this would ever be done it would be quite simple I would say.

the administration would need to inflict a broad set of rules to allow it.

like :
a minimum of time played (average time played to reach lvl 60)
no gear on character and bags/bank
minimum number of quests completed
maximum amount of gold on the character
removal of all honor and PVP ranks

else it would mess up the current server way too much.
what is left is a blank (unnamed) lvl 60 that gives you only another toon to play with.

A wipe is a wipe, you either accept it or you just don't, no one is forcing you to return.

I can understand you guys but in the end this is a new server.

[osmoZ]

Guys, the thing you don't seem to understand is that they do not talk about the beta of "Nostalrius Begins".

Before "Nostalrius Begins", "Nostalrius" was a french private server.
They played on it for years until it was closed for the "Nostalrius Begins".

For sure, a beta is a beta and you ACCEPT this fact when you create a beta character.
But "Nostalrius" wasn't a real beta, it was a full private server....
Imagine if in 1 year Nostalrius Begins closes, and a new Vanilla server from it is created, with the same scripts, the same rules, etc... but you should start over from 0. Wouln't you recovery your characters where you spent a lot of time ? Where you already leveled from 1 to 60 ?
What would you think if they say to you "Finally Nostalrius Begins was just a beta, we will now close it to open a bigger and better server, but you have to start everything again from 0."

If they had ask that at the opening I would have disagree this, but now a lot of people are already 60... and there were not a lot of people on the old Nostalrius.
So I agree with some conditions mentioned in this thread.
