I too give some thought to the precarious nature of all of this, knowing something catastrophic might happen, and all of my beloved characters would cease to exist again. I take solace in knowing that CoH will never disappear from this Earth again, now that the code is free from it's former confines. While the thought of starting over again is a bit daunting, I'd do it in a New York minute rather than forgo playing at all. I am enjoying immensely what we have, and if it all starts from scratch tomorrow, then so be it. I'd love it if there were a way to back-up my characters, and from what I've heard here, it is being considered. That's good enough for me to relax, and keep forging ahead with no worries one way, or the other.
