Clarity on possible "fresh start"?Follow

Hi guys,

Has there been any clarity made on people who previously played XIV and would like to give their characters a "fresh start" so to speak? I'm sure I read a nod toward it somewhere but can't find any real clarity on it. Like, for example, I'd love to reset my characters levels etc back to 1 and enjoy the reboot from the beginning but do want to keep all the extra frippery such as the Goobbue mount.

Does anyone know if this kinda thing is or will be possible? Any links to something from the team on the official boards?

As always, help much appreciated!

It would be a neat option for people and would probably work well, but that's not a fresh start.

I don't think they're gonna let you reset your character to level 1 and keep your items, no.

as for me I'm just going to make a new character. I have a level 50 lancer among other things but I don't care. I'll just level a different class this time. Chocobos are cooler than fat goobues anyway. they look like big naked plant babies

What about altering their appearance instead of resetting levels? I saw possible name changes mentioned in another thread, but what about a complete name, race, sex, & looks makeover?

That's a tough call on what I'd do with or without that option. I have the one character with a class at 50. All other classes ranging from 25-36. That's a good head start, but probably behind others who'll be on the legacy servers. Plus I gave all his money to a friend when I left. And I'll be quite lost when I 1st log in. That makes a fresh start also sound appealing. Experiencing the new game from the beginning. Though it'd be cool to find that friend still playing and hit them up with a random /tell of "Where's my money?!"

Either way I may do both. Check in with the old character and start up a new 1. Then decide which 1 I'd like to focus on.

Thanks. That sounds pretty good to me. Gives me some options to consider.

Appearance yes. They are investigating whether they can do names or not, I haven't heard anything new on that yet.

Summoner is the new job.

Hoping they do offer a name change in relation to also allowing us to change character models completely,

with the new transition to the new game basically a few malms away, I'd love to keep my original characters levels but with a whole new character if you know what i mean.

I would be swayed to start a brand new character, as long as i knew i'd still get my mount and keep my original goodies like the arm guards etc.

I am actually considering starting from scratch, but I just don't know.

I have a couple of RL friends who want to play, and if I can get them to join whatever legacy server I'm on, then I may just keep my character. I have pld, war and blm at 50, and I'd hate to have to redo all those levels. Also, I have a few jobs that I never even touched, so I'd still be able to enjoy all the low-level content of Version 2.

However, it would be kind of cool to start off completely fresh on one of the new servers. Being on a world where everything is new to everyone would definitely be fun.

I'm leaning toward continuing my previous character, but we'll see.

I have a level 25, but Im going to delete it as soon as I get into the game and make a new one on a world for new players ;D. I never played past level 25 becuase the game was just too broken for me to countinue with it, so a fresh starts on a fresh server (where everyone starts at level 1) is my aim.

I haven't played since 1.0 Beta, so I will be starting from scratch obviously. That's okay by me, I want to experience what this game has to offer from the ground up. Granted it would have been nice to have Legacy Status for the extra perks, but it is not the end of the world.
