Proving Grounds Wipe - Characters

What will happen to my existing characters?
Your characters are not being affected by the wipe - they’ll retain their skills, gear and inventory after the maintenance. The gear and inventory will be moved to the Redeeming queue. You’ll also need to pick a new shard for them to keep playing.

Can I choose to move my character to another region?
You can only pick a shard from the same region that character was initially created in. For example, if your character was previously on an EU shard, you can only pick one of the new EU shards to keep playing it.

Is it possible to change my character’s appearance after the wipe?
We do not offer this option (yet). If you wish to change your character’s appearance, you’ll need to create a brand-new character.

Is my character name reset?
We do not reset your character’s name with the wipe. However, we will offer the possibility to rename your character:

• If you wish to change your name
• If your name is already in use by another player on the new shard you’ve selected.

The name I wanted is already in use, but I’m pretty sure I was the first one to come up with that name, as it’s my own name/the same name I use for every game. Can you please assist and rename the other player instead?
While we understand your attachment to your unique name, we unfortunately cannot assist. The other player was the first one to choose this name, and we cannot rename them. We’re pretty sure you’ll come up with another cool name for your character, though!

If I prefer to create a new character, can I still get the resources and gear from my previous plot(s) and character(s) back?
Yes! The stash is shared across all characters from a single region (EU/NA/SEA) - existing or new.

Even if I have to delete an existing character to free up a slot and make a new one?
Yes! The stash is attached to your account, not a specific character. Once the maintenance is over, you can delete a former character(s) to create a new one - it won’t affect the stash and you will be able to access it. Your existing character will be gone for good though, so make sure that’s what you really want.

Will my character keep the same home shrine?
The whole world will be reshuffled, and you’ll have to place a plot in a new location - as such, your home shrine will not be the same.
