How many times did the Japanese server get wiped?

So Papayaplay want to wipe out all character progress and reset the port development, do they?  Which means all that lovely endgame content in the industrial revolution patches will be mostly inaccessible until players get back to mid/high level again.  Not to mention that all those Atlantis discoveries and attached MA rewards will be unobtainable also(the Atlantis content was time limited).......

Going back to the question in the topic, how much of the new content in the recent updates was intended to be explored by sub level 20 players?  To get access to most of it requires EA permits + region charting.  It should be fairly obvious that KOEI did not design the new content with a periodic erasure of character save data in mind.  There would most certainly be ZERO point in doing adventure if all your progress gets wiped just because there was a change in server management.

Then there are the development ports, Ternate, Ambon, Lima and the Carib colonies.  After leading the charge to get the port development finished in Ambon and Ternate, I'm not prepared to do it a second time around.  Once was enough, thank you very much.

All in all I just don't appreciate having my refined skills blown out the window on a whim, They could double, or triple or even quintuple the founder pack rewards, but it would never be acceptable compensation for the loss of years of progress.  This is a very poorly thought out decision if Papayaplay go ahead with it.
