This is starting to sound more and more shaky. Pretty much, here is what I'd look to happen if I were to stay (this isn't me being forceful, im just being clear).

-I'd get to keep my char, his history, his non trnasforming moves, and everything else aside from specific stats
-the stats would convert in some way so as to make the power earned thus far not completely mute and null. aka, a conversion ratio, sliding scale, whatever you wanna call it.

Basically, if those above things are all happening, I'm for everything else. If not, I'd like to know so I can just move on now and not waste any more of my time.

No the stats would be gone, set to like 1. You'd keep your character, history, and possibly some techs.

So our items, money, and stats will be wiped leaving us with nothing to show fo the time we've vested in Chubbs save for vague IC references to characters that, on average, won't even exist any more because their users will be switching to custom chars? I can't believe some of you older chars are ok with this. Every power boosting effort you've ever made on this site will be rindered a waste of time by this change. Yeah, i know we are supposed to play here for the sake of writing but in the end this IS a GAME where power is the ultimate indicator of progress. I'm not so thrilled at the prospect of being told that all the rewards for the hours of writing I've done will be erased. I'd like a little more than a character vault reference in my history to show for my efforts. I would think most of the older chars would feel the same if not even stronger... but i guess it's just me.

Every power boosting effort I've made has been in vain.

The fact of the matter is, right now, I could spend months and months doing quests and acquiring TP, and say I'd acquired 40 TP from all those, someone that joined a month before me would still have the advantage in base powerlevel. No matter how hard I try, within the current system the only way of becoming the most powerful is to wait for the veterans to leave.

Personally I'm glad the staff finally seem to have come to their senses. Waffuru is right - it's gotten to the point where staff were basically saying "we'll balance out the fact that it's impossible to progress beyond your current status with the loophole 'power doesn't matter!'".

As for the IC relationships thing - those inevitably break down anyway as people leave and stuff. The only difference is that when people rejoin, old relationships won't be screwed up. A good portion of people (myself included, as long as the option stands, at least for a while) are going to be staying as their current characters.

That said, simply moving the powerlevels closer together might be a nice compensator. As in, if your current powerlevel is 2 million over the starting ki, that gets condensed and 5% of that gets added to your new starting powerlevel. Or something like that - you get the idea. Really as long as I can keep some or all of my techs, I'm not too bothered.

Edit: Or what Aqua just posted. >_>

Question, though - will Kaioken count as a tech? I know it's a multiplier, but it may be coming under some new ruling ... or at least it was, when I last suggesting a renovation for it. >_> Just wond'rin.
