I don't see the problem. Canons going through an era/story-line with their characters can just fluid time the rest. Or, like me, if you plan on doing a personal saga that was a prelude even to our current time-line, it doesn't really matter at all.
Then again, if someone doesn't know where their character will end up at the end of an ongoing storyline, or what kind of character they will be on the other end of it, they will get royaly screwed. Suddenly something thats current becomes fluid-timed, and any character interaction becomes a lot of guesswork. It's like having to join an RPG with half of a bio done. You're going along great, your character is almost solidified into what you want it to be, and then all of a sudden you're summoned to be a part of the online community. I can surmise that would pretty frustrating.
I dont wan't to argue anything staff is going to decide, but I do have to support Greg in what he's saying. After all, isn't the whole idea of having a custom character going far enough into paradise-land for some of our members? On top of that, I don't really see the need to mess up stuff for characters that aren't fully built yet. New characters can make up any history they want can't they? Other than for people who want to be citizens of KR, this time-shift doesn't serve that much of a purpose.
Lastly, wouldn't it be enough for any customs that plan to live on KR to just be able to have histories on that planet already? I mean, the planet itself did come out of nowhere, we will have characters that will (seemingly) come out of nowhere, why not just integrate the two? It would be like the planet was wished into existence, and along with it came a history and a society and new beings. Idk, I think that would be better than shifting things on such a grand scale.
PS: I dont fully understand this whole switch thing, so If I come off as n00b I apologize. I'm really out of the loop. =(
EDIT: lol@'banked on there being a timeskip'
