in october 2007, you were playing your character, and you had been for a while. Just got 4th job, things were great. Then, they come out with an announcement: Everyone from your country is going to be banned! They're opening a new version, and if you want to maple, you'll have to do it there.
Naturally, you'd be quite angry, and maybe even quit. But, let's say you didn't, and you go on to play the new version. Things are going good for a while, and they add lots of nice content to get you all caught up. You play this new version for a year, and get back up to 120.
Surprise! New version is failing, they're going to close it and ship you back to the old version.
Wouldn't you be pissed that they deleted your old 120 character and made you start over, only to force you back to the exact same place a year later?
So a merger means they delete your old character? I thought the whole reason behind the long time was that they were transferring the chars and information over. If that's not the case, then what's the difference between closing the old version and just making people download the other version?
