The idea of RVARR in PotBS drove me nuts from the moment on when I realized what RVR actually meant in this game! And it's not only the mechanics, it's the community, friend or foe alike! Player driven economy and and the whole concept of taking over ports and everything that comes along with that!! The amount of coordination necessary during 6v6, PBs and during flips?
Look at nowdays online games and name me one which does such stuff except for EVE which isn't actually new at all? In a way, it's seriously pathetic how basic nowdays games are!
PotBS teaches people that awesome graphics aren't everything!!
BTW:
Ive learnt from stan laguna that you can get your deleted characters back from portalus! I, for example, deleted my characters after FLS went batshit to avoid coming back. You just need to send them a mail with your account names and they'll recover them, the characters not the accounts. They did that with all of my ten accounts!
