This announcement (which is almost unreadable) looks to me like a fancy way of telling you that they actually "care" for the steam server players and trying to give you some kind of hope, but actually what they means is that the server is doomed and has to be merged with hanin server, just like naraeha.
The idea of new character is kinda strange to me since the game is not worthy to play at all, even the YouTube videos of the latest castle wars looks like a private server after 6 months from last reset.
