Funny to see, that I have more numerous and more powerful ladder characters than non-ladder characters, and been playing non-ladder for years (hello, there was no ladder), whereas playing ladder for only about 4 months.
Loosing all the cool characters, items and runes might be frustrating (well, it pretty much is), but hey, it's worth the prize. But....
There's always a but. Thing is, it took me months to gather the mediocre wealth that I have at the moment, and it would be cool to think that the reset will bring a clear ladder; however, it won't. We'll have to face the cheaters and botters again, and within a few weeks of the reset, we (the no-cheat players) will find ourselves at the mercy of enigma-druids (well, I am optimistic about the marrow bug, and with it gone, the druids will be the ultimate-cheese caster PVPers). By the time we (I) will gather the same kind of wealth we (I) posess at the moment, they will be so unbelievably rich, that we won't measure up.
Ah heck. I just wonder why I keep refreshing my non-ladder accounts to this day.
We'll see what happens, I root for a clean ladder.
(Darn, just when I thought that within a few months I'd have an enigma! Darn!)
On another note, it would be LOVELY if they'd fix the separation of ladder-nonladder(-plus) types. Also the mutual exclusion algorithm. Five year-olds can code better solutions, but if they're unable/unwilling to do so, they could remove the blocking "UNABLE TO ENTER GAME" messages, and send a dialog instead.
