Yup, so it's time to get on with that, the first order of business should be if people are at all interested in going through with the original plot, since it's been a while. Otherwise, our next priority should be to come up with a kind of idea that everyone can get in on in some way or another.

As has been stated, whether or not we are to continue with a new arc or move forwards with the previous one, a single thing remains. We need to make sure that the same things that happened last time doesn't happen again, to that end we need to be quite strict and define from the get-go what is to be included in each arc and what isn't necessary.

For instance you mentioned getting rid of the Wandenreich and the Sternritters, along with most probably Vladislav as well I'd presume. I also think we need to be concise in regards to antagonists as well, along with who joins and who doesn't. For instance, consider the following set-up for east "arc" we made.

Major Antagonist: This is the primary source of conflict within the Arc, Kraven of Extinction might easily fit this role, these are the ones who have the greatest resources and powers at their disposal. The user in charge of this character more or less drives the story. We should keep this to a single character I believe, Rosa and Kraven both more or less fulfilled this role, so as a result they largely could not co-exist.

Secondary Antagonists: This deals with particularly powerful henchmen or characters outside the scope of the major antagonist. They fulfill the role of being secondary threats to keep things interesting, but their scope is usually more limited and their function are more to bring a sense of variety. We shouldn't have too many of these, but it'd be cool to have two or three.
