A: Until we complete the full game story line, which is going to take some time, there's no narratively plausible way to let people start again, but in order to fully test everything, and hopefully provide everyone with something to do other than mining or power-levelling, we've provided a handy-dandy reset function, which will let you go back and do everything again. If that's the kind of thing you enjoy.

A: Apart from a handful of special items, that aren't storable or tradeable anyway, absolutely not. All your historical data, leaderboards, items, mail etc. will stay exactly as they are.

Q: Will I be able to access all my stuff after I reset?

Q: Will I be able to access all my stuff after I reset? ''Updated''
   −
A: For now, yes. We're thinking about creative ways to change this though, so you can expect it to change at some stage.
+
A: Not immediately, no. In order to make things a little bit challenging, a number of restrictions will be imposed on you for a little while after reset. For example, you will not be able to access ANYTHING from your stash, showcase or mall store. You WILL be able to access items that are currently in your backpack, but it will cost you. No, I'm not going to spell it out here, that's just a risk you'll have to take.
    
Q: What about any stats/turns/HP/TP etc I have currently?

A: Those belong to your current run, and will be kept with it for historical (or hysterical) purposes. Your new run will start with its own information.

Some, yes, with more to come. We just need to work out a way to make it fair for everyone.
+
A: Yes, there are, however as new content is added, existing reset counts/leaderboards will be archived somewhere, and new ones started. This will probably happen several times over the coming months. You will still be able to view archived leaderboards, but the stats on them will be almost meaningless in relation to anything but themselves.
