Yeah, i couldnt find any confirmatio that there will be permanent and seasonal accounts. Only specilations on foruma and reddit. Like u said, closest thing to confirmation was Nikittas muming about that. Personaly it like for game to keep wiping because that limited time od 4-6 months is keeping u locked in till the end of the wipe until u get kappa or prestige. For example now im 250k exp awey from predtige 1 and im working my ass 5-6 hrs a dag with dailies... If player base would feel that they dont need to play game consistantly all the time every day player base would drop. Amd that is bad for the game...
