Dont you remember the NC Slogan "You will never die alone?" ^^
Not only you, just make a new char on Titan and start playing. I had to force myself to take neocrack again. I had several capped characters on Uranus (nc1 data is shutdown forever), left the game, several characters on Terra (Terra is down too), left the game but came back now and got a capped Monk after 5-6 weeks, plus almost capped spy.
Your advantage would be triple xp till december the 26th and then double xp is being enabled till january the 5th and people are coming back since the patch is live and holidays and shit what now.
It is definitely worth it. Have fun.
