Taurik was talking about people that were hacked by peach.

LOL, I think there are a few others who are aged higher than I here.  

My bad, I had thought that Jonah had posted it. But still this was posted to me and I had no reason to suspect it of being false, especially since particle had at one time LONG before the clear mentioned it himself in the discussions about whether or not to have the clear (dont remember a definate answer on it though, but if not a single character has been restored or "altered", then I would have no right to ask. However, if any have, I do. It would be particles decision to make concerning it and I will live with his decision either way. **
When I was in-server, I saw many of the old timers with characters that were FAR above god level and the short time since the clear does not really allow for them to have gotten  thier characters to that level from scratch. If I am wrong in that assumption, than you have my apologies.[/quote]

You are wrong. Everyone that is higher than god right now play 24/7 and dust thru more than like..20 rls. They were abusing the dust system when the dustbridge was up, so that could be a factor.

Actually, neither. Evil_Inc, I apologize for not being more specific....  

I was refering to this article on the pcrpg.org front page, I thought that's what he was talking about:

Since about the only thing to change is the number of character files, and since the server (I've been noting) appears to be crashing during character saves, I cleared out over 2000 unused characters.  All characters not modified since 11/1/2003 have been deleted (but archived), and will be brought back upon individual request.  See the support page if you are such a person.
