Think about this: D2 will require some method for a new player to be able to purchase the game and create a character and play through the game without having to own D1. Players who want a new experience can use this route to start fresh. I expect that what will happen will be a new Tower opening up. That we will arrive at the new Tower either as new Guardians or as our current Guardians, stripped of inventory... Some introductory event will render us newbs. Veteran guardians might have a side quest that allows them to investigate the first spawn location - which will allow them to regain their old inventory and open up access back to the original tower and their old vaults... What I'm saying is that it doesn't have to be black and white. There are ways that they could preserve our inventory whilst at least temporarily separating us from it - or even allowing players to make a clean break. I personally think that it would be interesting to land on another tower and discover that the one we are familiar with only covers one section of the wall. That The Speaker isn't actually the leader of the entire city but that there are other groups and hierarchies out there who have their own versions of history. Maybe with leaders who could and [b]do[/b] tell us stories.
