Starting anew with a new character will indeed reset the game. As long as you create a new user ID, you can come back to the game as before. It will take a little time to bring the new character up to speed; hopefully, you will have fun doing it! (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
