From what I understood the reason they're deleting all the accounts as well as all the inventories is because a lot of items and palladium (Crysandrea's in-game currency) are illegitimate and were obtained trough the exploitation of glitches. Two Crys users who were ex-staff (one of which hasn't been on the staff in years) even said that there could be around 18 million in illegitimate palladium circlling on the site at the moment. One of them even posted several past ways in which the glitches worked (ways that were fixed).
So, basically with as many illegitimate DIs and in-game currency as there is (presumably) on Crysandrea right now, the economy would be wreaked right from the get-go in Crysandrea v3 if they were carried over. Frankly, if this is indeed the case I can fully understand why they're deleting all the user data and I fully support it as well. This will also delete all the inactive accounts as well of course.
At this point I would also like to mention the following. They are reimbursing users who have spend actual money on DIs with an equal number of Gems (cash currency) in proportion to the number of DIs they have bought.
Also, all Crysandrea v2 users will apparently start out with a certain amount of palladium on the new site. All the TYIs are being kept and will be placed in a luxury shop where they will be purchasable with palladium and gems and from what I've understood the prices of them will be significantly lower in the beginning of the site. From what I've been told all event items and millstone items will also be kept but it remains to be seen how they will be re-released on Crysandrea v3.
I, personally, will re-sign-up on the new Crys when it opens to at least see how it will be (that and the possibility of finally getting a Wintertide Ensemble is just too tempting for me xD). I will remain here on Tris as well though (this site really grew on me in these days and I like it here a lot :3).
At the same time, well, it's obvious why some people would rather not return to Crys after all that's happened.
