How annoyed did you make people when you left? Like, just being a run of the mill jerk, or did you cross lines in the sand like raiding the guild bank, taking items from people, botting, etc? If people just didn't like you because you were an opinionated asshole, you may want to keep the account. Memories are short for people just being stupid. You could probably safely reinstate that account, transfer servers and even change your character's name to put all that behind you. However, if you crossed one of those lines and try that? Yeah, they'll hunt you down like the filthy animal you are if you try to slip out the back door like that.
I had a former linkleader who was a bit on the emo side. One day the guild disagreed with him on a decision he made about Dynamis, (mainly because he was too busy screwing around to get there on time and actually random or claim the one we had scheduled), next day he takes everything from the guild bank, bought himself a higher level relic weapon with it, breaks the shell, and he, his 2nd in command and her husband split for a new server. I think they landed on Fairy, I stopped really caring after the first hop. No idea what server they're on now. Other former Lsmates are not so forgiving. Many of them have no compunctions about posting their character levels, names, jobs, gear, face models, IRL jobs and cities, etc on other server boards so that they don't find a safe haven anywhere. He also posted his picture online and mentioned his city. There's quite a few people angry enough that I don't fancy being him if he's ever in a dark alley alone.
Decide how badly you've burned your bridges before you commit to starting over from square one. If you've poisoned the well so badly that you can't use the old character, maybe it'd be best to just move on to a different game entirely and commit to being a better person.
