Well, I sure hope we see some of the other old faces I'm fond of. Maybe Beth? DarkSky? It'd be good to see Malice, Anubis, Sparky, if she's still around. The good old crowd
And, yes, we do have factional ranks, Sheena - Padawan, Knight, Master etc, so if you're transferring your
character (since the rank relates to them), then you could do a direct transfer and retain your prior Rank.
