Toribash has had a large total playercount over the years, the game is over 10 years old after all. Something like Next will be sure to bring old players back, and if Nabi steps up their PR game there is also a possibility of the game being flooded with new players from steam or similair
I for one am extremely excited and optimistic about this whole thing. The possibilites in Toribash are already immense, can't wait to see what we'll be able to do with the new Unity engine

I fully support resetting QI, climbing the belts has always been fun and when you are really high belt some of the incentive to play goes away because 25.000 games to the next belt is a lot. Besides, although nobody knows how the gameplay will change we can assume it will be atleast slightly different, a master in Toribash may not be so good in Next. The issue of old players being labaled and low belts could be solved with some other type of merit, a veteran coin like they have in Counterstrike or something else next to your name would be an easy and appropriate solution imo.
