Re-setting RP points

[Nacreas]

I made a lot of memories getting my RP points, it'd be a shame to see them go.

It's a shame, yes, but ultimately does it truly matter? After all, they only display besides your name.
Or am I way too inconsiderate here?

I'll tell you right now as a veteran player that my hours, points and money would be the only thing that would make me want to come back to a server that has been down for nearly a year and a half now.

I think it is imperative to understand that what FL needs is not old players to come back - but an influx in new players.

Disregard the RP point discussion for a second.

Consider the fact that FL shouldn't be focusing on getting old players back - but rather focusing on attracting new players. With all due respect it doesn't matter if me, you or any other oldtimer comes back, because if you ever want to return FL to a full server you need to get an influx of new players.

Preferably 13 yr olds with no commitments.

I just think your comment shows a skewed understanding of the situation. And I don't think you are the only person with this view.

I agree with you that what FL needs is an influx of new players, but oldtimers still have their place. The focus needs to be getting players back as a whole, not just new ones. We also need a server for this.

Re-setting RP points would not effect new players joining or their retention as they'd have the full FL experience before them. Resetting RP points would effect oldtimers only, for them to simply get back to the place they were before. Personally I believe one of the focuses should be on new rewards for veteran players.

There are options available and I would be interested to know what people thought about having donator status rewards for having so many hours. It might encourage people to be active if it could save them some cash at the other end. This could also be back-captured, encouraging people to come back.
