looks like were gonna die after 1.23

then be reborn in 2.0

That's why I propose a 50% wipe. SE randomly selects 50% of the current population and deletes those characters as victims of the 2.0 cataclysm. SE can honor the fallen of each world with graveyard with tombstones for each person from that world.
were already getting a 50%+ wipe most of the game will be new and modified , but or characters will be saved, nothing is stopping you from deleting you character @2.0 im not killing mine she'll be over 2 years old by the time 2.0 comes out, and im sure no one else want to lose 2 years for a idiot.

Cons:
50% of the population leaving = less revenue = game fails.
everyone playing right now but the OP will quit.
