They never said anything about existing characters tho. it would be nice to know wether or not we have to log out as a certain class to retain the starting city we want. Just in case tho, I will have my axe equipped prior to oct 31 maint
We already have a city where we were "born" and that won't change come 2.0. They aren't rewriting our history.
