So ummm...I'm still really confused on what's going on here...Any one care to enlighten me? I'de like to know if our old characters are still usable, and stuff like that...
Here is the skinny from what I've gathered.
Basically, since the Appetite awoke, we've been playing on EfU: A. So, yes this means the character you are currently playing can still be played. Yes, this likely also means we can return to Sanctuary from the land above.
Likely this also means to get to said land above, you'll need to go through the Way. Which, having been myself and died, I can say is very, very difficult but worth the trip. :p
So basically we can still use our old characters, but they may very well load in a place occupied by monsters and evil, and even if we escape said place we get to find this quest called "The Way" and get ourselves beaten into small pieces trying to escape to a place we can just create a new character and use.
I think.
Make new ones! This is ridiculously fun to start at level 2, especially with the -incredibly- low loot levels. It's so much bloody fun to scavenge here and there and work yourself up from nothing to "something".
This is surely the first server where you'd kill for a rusted chain shirt!
when you create new characters, they will be in Ymph, the island we live on.
If you have older characters prior to Sunday night, they will appear in the gnome temple in the dunwarren ruins. Yes, your older characters can escape still to Ymph, but getting there will not be easy. Also it will be impossible for level 2 characters to get any xp in EFU because those quests are gone. If you are level 3+ you still can quest from what I can tell, but getting to those QA's will be quite hard.
