Hi! Thank you for considering going back to heRO.
Allow me to answer some of your questions.
1. Fact
2. Yes. And you have the option to activate/deactivate it at will.
3. This server has never and will never have any character wipes. (according to the GMs)
4. I'm afraid I'm not confident enough with my knowledge to give you any specific numbers. You can ask others for this.
5. The server is currently on 5/5/3 iirc.
I hope we can meet you in-game should you decide to return. Have a good day.
