Edited: Was what I meant to post earlier, but was having problems with the site.

Ok. So I have been following this thread since its conception. I have read all posts and comment, some more than once. I have been thinking this over and in which way I want to cast my vote. First and foremost I would like to say that I love Thay. I have played on Thay for over a year now (my whole time on NWN). I've tried a few other servers out, but nothing more than a few hours. They're not as compelling to me. So I would play no matter what.

As for going into the future with lore as a guide I can see the positives and negatives about that. On the positives it gives characters a chance to fulfill their most extravagant dreams and give us (players and DMs) opportunities to shape Thay into whatever we wanted it to be. The negatives being: what's the stopping point? How much will change, and how often?

I wouldn't mind a total reboot either. I provides a fresh start for everyone and all will be on an equal playground. Provides the option of dramatically increasing our player base. The only real problem I would have with this option is that since I am unable to play as often as I used to be able to it's going to take me a really long time to get a PC anywhere, level or notoriety wise.

If we went with the total server reboot option maybe it would be possible for long term active players to have maybe one or two PCs stored and be able to bring them back once the server started getting higher level characters again? If that makes any sense, or maybe get some of those compensations later down the road? Just a throwing around a few ideas. Try and make the best of both worlds.

Ultimately it is Thayan's server, and therefore his choice. Regardless of what decision is made I'll still play.
