I'll vote for the February one...
Addendum as to the reason of my vote:** Although I understand setting everyone back down to level 1 for fairness sake, I believe the February one is the better option for two reasons:

1: I think what can be recovered, should be recovered. Long time players created stories, fleshed out realities and wanted their characters to make a stamp on the world. Something is always better than nothing.

2: There is nothing stopping those who would manage to keep (in my case severely underequipped) characters from creating new level 1s to play alongside those without, and the incentives for returning players appear to be applicable to both sets of votes regardless.

I agree.
