I guess I am one of the fews who did continue despite the reset. In fact, I'm finding it quite beneficial. I stopped before because I lost to Archmagus of Roo. Now, my those extra skills that got brought into the new game, I don't fear him anymore.
And since I had everything(equipements, potions, key items) I had before the reset, I'm just leveling right in Neopia Overworld. No mad dungeon to go.
And it's leveling quite easily with extra points. I bet I can max spectral before going shock magic.
Why am I going despite it could be seen as a bug exploit? The leader board's fast wins and most wins is cleared.
I gotta go for that fast trophy. Beside, if I win and start Evil difficulty, I will start a normal game and the bugged game would be no more.
Kudos to wonder weezel for making me this cute set. ^_^
