That's a very good question. Some of the things that separate an MMORPG from, say, Unreal Tournament, are a sense of persistence, progress, and the central motif of developing a player character. In Unreal Tournament, you have your fun and that's that, and the next time you log in there's nothing held over from the last time you logged in. Would you play an MMORPG that reset your character every time you logged out? Would you play if all of your progress was lost every day? What if only some of your progress was lost? What if it was just every week, or every six months, or every time a new expansion comes out?

But is resetting my character if I'm going UP in levels and I'm getting BETTER gear? Is that regression or progression?
