Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. There is no need to start over and over again. There are 2 servers:
1. Project 1999 (exactly as it is today, no changes, continues on)
2. Optional Progression Server
You could play on the main server (1) exactly today. It does not change.
For the progression server (2) it would reset every so often (configurable). When it does all characters there MOVE to main server (1). You're merged into the normal population. You are not deleted. At that point server (2) is again a fresh world (a la March 1999).
Quit saying Diablo it's nothing like that. The progression server is just a place for people who come late to the party but would like to experience a fresh server. So every so often (let's say every 3 months) the server population is merged and reset. It's really not that complicated.
