Can I Keep Using Old Character? - Returning Player Since Arround 2014

Hi everyone!


I have been a player on this wonderful adventure ages ago. I got a lot of fun, but for some obscure reasons, I left and never really return.


Until now, in the beautiful year 2021, I have returned!

I remember to have a horse that costed me a good farming and pretty good gear. One or two in diamond armor piece as I remember.


But sadly, when I joined, I have been greeting by the "Update Plaza". With no armor and level 1 Staff. (Mage). Some random stuff in my inventory with many Unidentified. Also, I am level 26... In my memory I was higher level... But maybe not. So, I do understand I nearly lost all my gear I had. I do understand that, and I can live with that, but I have no emerald at all... Well, I can manage that too... I guess.... Just lost pretty much everything. I will need to grind a little the kick starts my adventure…

Now after trying to reroll my unidentified gear with a lot of dagger weapon and no staff, I do have an OK armor… but still a level 1 staff.


I left the Plaza and ... got force to do the tutorial. On that I saw that most of my quest got reseted. I have no crafting skill (normal. I was not existing yet back then). I do have some stuff in my chest, but the worst is...


I cannot do damage. I tried /kill, Re-log and all. Nope. Cannot deal Damage. My pet can, but I can’t.


So, is that the confirmation that I need to delete my character and start a new one because I was away for so many years?


If so, this is sad to lost everything from back then. Even the double Discord XP is not that interesting since I need to farm to level 35 and farm emerald to buy a horse again, but you know… if I could do damage.


I already started a new character. Everything is going well. I throw some now useless item out of my bank and I can play this one.


The updated server looks nice, do not get me wrong... but I would have liked to keep my high level and gear to mess around while making a new character to discover the new world.


At least I do have Veteran rank to comfort me.

P.S.: I have read the Guide - Returning Players, but this don't solve the immediate problematics.

That's kind of an odd problem. It may have to do with being away from so long; my original 4 characters that I made in 2014 all still exist and work fine as of the last time I logged in. Your old character should theoretically still work, but I don't have access to an account that hasn't logged in in that long, so I can't test that. It's a pity you had to delete your old class, but it may be for the better; you'd want to start a new one to experience all of the new content that's been added or changed.

 

I am glad that it is not a recurrent problem to all!

I understand as many are saying. It is better to start over. That is what I am doing in any case, but I would have love to continue to use my highest level to help me go faster in lower level wity Emerald and all. Because many quests are still the same.

Well. I may check in bug report to at least get my damage fix if possible.
