How many of you have done or thought of doing this?
I actually did do this, It was one of my better decisions tbh.
Do you keep the old account for nostalgia reasons?
Nope, I deleted it.. I kind of regret doing so since it was made just before they took out last names in trade for naming everyone "Resident".
The people I knew when I came back were long gone, the account wasn't all that well fitted to me so.. while I regret it, It's also no big loss to me.
How do you feel about others doing this exact thing, Do you know anyone who has?
I'd tell them to go for it, but keep the old account open... they may want to go back to it eventually if they've been known as that account for a long time.
