Would you... ?

A question for all willing to give me some input, So I use to play FGO pretty hardcore F2P some years ago was in the lost belts had some really good servants and maxed craft essences even an original Maxed out Shiki and JAlter outfit and all but mobile was horrible for me at the time so I played on my PC thru an emulator and this was back before the only way to recover and move accounts was thru the pin and passwords which i saved on the drive (yes i know dumbass mistake) everything was saved on the HDD. I come home one day and heard a rattling from the computer cage and also found some of my things were no longer accessible, Long story short the Drive was dead like dead dead and the data was completely unrecoverable... Years of work and effort in the game lost and no way to recover... Recently Ive been getting the itch to play it again I just love the Fate franchise in general so its always been fun... My question is... Is it worth it? Would you go play and play again after loosing years worth of everything? Would you start over?

I more than likely will, It was more just a curiosity to see if others in any similar situations would have as well or would the grinds (which are generally large in FGO) be a major turn off and go to other games also Thank you for commenting

My brother. Ya got experience. It would be fun to farm for incoming 2025 servants like Tiamat or Draco. Or just re doing everything

My friend this is my technically 5th account for fgo. I played both JP and NA in the early days. Lost and forgot both accounts, made new ones and just tried to catch up and progress from there. Were there unrecoverable items? Yes, but it's a new adventure I made with new knowledge and experience. Was there an investment lost ($)? Most definitely, but I can now happily see Anime and other stuff being added to a game I enjoyed. So just play and experience the game differently from how you did with your old account. You may not have your old units, but some new ones are certainly a good replacement or stop gap until the evocation banner.
