When making decisions like whether or not to keep the same amount of qi from Toribash in TBnext, I believe new players should be the main focus. For them I suppose it would be best that the qi will be transferred over, to prevent them from being completely dominated by the older, more experienced players, which in turn would reduce player retention.
However, I myself would however be thrilled to start anew in TBnext. Then again, I haven't been grinding/buying qi or whatever at all. You could perhaps make it so that official servers would be implemented later, making the game kind of like a free for all in the beginning, this way you can try to mitigate these skill level issues between newer and older players.
I think it's a shame that the TBnext currency was based on the tc that was being owned by users at some point, rather than their qi. I think paying out TBnext currency based on qi would have been a better and more accurate reward for longlasting, dedicated members of the community than paying it out based on owned tc. Oh well.
I would also like to add that I'm really really hoping for and looking forward to any new and innovative gameplay mechanics being added to TBnext. I think that's more important for the players to come and stay than qi being transferred over or not. Teasers would be appreciated!
