I hope they restore the old forums.
I think loftar sometime said that he has somekind of backups, but he is "too lazy" to restore them or something.
Time that is taken from another experience you could have spent in the real world creating something that can't be taken from you by a world reset.
But eventually death will take it all. Sooner or later. Does it really matter how you spend your time? Eventually it all will get destroyed. Whether its a house you built in haven & hearth or a skill that you mastered in real life.
Later in life you might regret how you spent some of your time, opportunities and experiences that were lost because of something you did or did not do. But that's just how it goes. In the end, it does not really matter at all.
Being happy about the little things in life, firebrand that did not instantly burn down or an ice cream that you bought with hard earned money. Whatever makes you happy.
