I guess there is a way around it. dosent look like there is anything stopping you from starting a new chr in the new world on whatever server you wish. might not be a bad opportunity to re-learn how to play. i know i have friends who will be starting the game in ARR for the first time, i probably will be starting a new chr anyway then later i can transfer my high level over as a cash mule to buy my lowbie a house and shyte!
