U wont have to start new chars, there wont be char wipe
There will just be possibility to play euro char or chinese char, so u will be able to play ur chinese char, but if u would like to play euro, u will have to start from lvl 1. Also chars will share same storage (99% sure) and worlds will be connected (u will be able to go from Jangan to Constantinopole-atleast its possible in ksro). MoRRis
