That's basically it. You can pick two options for this poll (one about characters, one about plot).

What do you want to do?

Naturally, I'm all kinds of conflicted.

Basically, while I do feel that it would probably be for the best if we completely restarted, history and characters included, I also believe that it would be rude to just basically get rid of the hard work of many people. While I may have no issue with starting off from scratch character and post wise, I just...I just really don't wanna hurt any feelings, yanno?

The problem with just deleting history but not the characters mostly lies in character development to me. Throughout the storyline people have definitely changed, new depths being added to their characters. If you take away the reason for their growth then it's just all inconsistent. I mean, it could probably be fixed by just editing the personality section on the character's profile but still.

I guess that my choice would be to make it like a regular deletion and transfer posts? Or maybe just keep 1 character? (which is what I'll probably be doing but still)

Personally, my opinion is this:

Reset the history. Basically, restart all of FA. New plot, new mechanics, possibly even new setting and genre if that's what you all want. It just needs it.

That also means resetting all characters to Lv.1 and redoing them, their past, etc. You can revert them to how they were upon creation, or change them entirely. It'd essentially be making a new character, but designing them exactly like the old one.

I also think we should cut it down to two or three characters each, at least for now.

I think we should archive the old plots and stuff, but have the actual forum be a new plotline. We could keep old characters as they were, just not have them played exactly as they were. I think completely erasing things is going too far, a lot of people put a lot into everything, but I agree that FA needs a revamp to plot and characters to get it interesting/keep people interested.

So I think archive the old plot lines but reset the actual forums storyline, just have people fit their characters to the new story line if they need to. So dont revert characters back, but have people go back to any characters they did have and have to redo anything that tied into the old story. They would keep levels, but have pasts and such revamped by the creator of them to fit a new plotline for the site. Then work people have done to their characters hasn't gone to waste, just been fitted to a new story
