doesnt this same argument apply for pretty much any expansion?
i think it would make more sense to allow existing accounts to opt into a new "no leafre" restriction like the existing "victoria island" only one and stuff, and if somebody doesn't want to play leafre or wants the distinction of being the highest level non-leafre player then they can have that but it'd be a bit weird to introduce a legacy ranking for pre-leafre when there is none for pre-ossyria or pre-aqua road etc
