I would start again, but then I've only been playing a month or so.

I've seen this topic come up before, most notably on the EQ Live Test Server. There's a tendency to see leveling as a race sometimes, and those that start late would like a level playing field. It isn't a race, and any character wipe would be incredibly unfair to people with established high level characters.
 
This is, of course, purely hypothetical as there will never be a character wipe, intentional or otherwise.

But I would. :)
 
If it was a new game, I'd start fresh.

Currently I have no characters, and do not plan on making new ones. I just post here and there because I like forums.
 
Voted yes, why? Because this game rocks and I dont really want to walk away from, hell it might even be fun to start everyone over at 1. Everyone on equal ground again :)
 
I'd keep playing, love the game too much, and lvling is most of the fun. (Love to hear that DING)
 
Having everyone on an even playing field again would be interesting, especially with the numbers we have today.
 
If we're going to do "from scratch" it will be a new server, and that won't happen until we have enough players to support 2 servers.

To answer the poll though, I would, yes.
 
To clarify my answer (like anyone cares! :D), I WOULD start again, if I had to, but wouldn't really want to, I mean man, I just got my first 10 plat! :D
 
I just want to make a point. I would definatly start over if I "HAD" to, but I would only start over ( and I mean 100% from scratch ) if I had to. I mean come on lets be honest here if you had a lvl 65 wizard with a billion aa's and a 65 chanter with 2 billion aa's that you could 2 box and pretty much get whatever gear you wanted for a noobie, wouldn't you at least use one or two items? One of the greatest things that kept me playing live was they added that new server ( I forget the name ) and no transfers were allowed. It was the best ever because it wasn't just me running around witha rusty mace, EVERYONE was running around with a rusty mace. I for one got excited about little things again. Now you play live and a lvl 1 has better gear than somepeople will EVER see. The downfall to not getting in in teh beginning of a game like this or when a server is first brought up, is it seems you are playing catch up to the guy who started 2 weeks before you that has 10 more lvls than you and 5 pieces of better gear.
 
Some people need to feel they are the best geared, and kinda want to show off gear / aa / lvl, etc. I personally dont care, I play just for fun, if the guy standing next to me has Uber_sword_005 of doom, I will admire it sure, but it wont make me feel any less of a player because he has it. Even if he is level 1. And a Paladin...
 
To answer yes I would.

I think that it would really suck, but since its not going to happen then I can answer honestly with no fear of being sent back to level one. I always hated that aspect of Mario Bros. Damn that game...
 
I would continue playing, as I started soon and I only have a lvl 11 mage. But I dont want a reset, Im such a casual player and I am a so slow lvler.
 
I hardly play at all anymore, and I'd play a lot more if all chars were reset. But I've always loved starting fresh in new MMORPGs, adventuring and finding those rare named NPCs that drop a slight upgrade is so much more exciting when people aren't selling the stuff dirt cheap or giving it away.

I'd definitely support a second "start over" server.
 
- - -Of course I would, it would be a great oportunity to try the new quests I completely missed because they weren't on when I explored that zone. It's not like I would enjoy seeing all my characters gone, but I wouldn't spend much time thinking about what I had lost.
