Returning players is what makes games transend the test of time. Look at EvE it has lasted decades just like DDO but if you listen to what ever nucklehead that said just delete all the old accounts... your doomed. that guy should be fired he literally should loose his job since tons if not all will loose their jobs if this practice continues. Your forums are festering with returning players with open tickets 30days old seriously!!! That is the fastest way to **** off your nitch base!!! your not going to have a relaunch vanilla any time soon. Returning players is your bread and butter and literally you gave yours backs to them. In all sincerity this is an issue that should literally Jump to #1 priority drop the cross panic and run straight into a server room and start fixing. all in all make a **** program that can honor old purchases based on purchase history and if you cant keep the characters well fine this game is repetitive as it is... and when some one comes back they know whats up. But Forsaking people all together JESUS!!!!!
