It's been reported that if you reset with your cart on, all your items will disappear. But you can simply remove then put on your cart to regain your items. HOWEVER, it's also been reported that if let's say you had 8000/8000 in your cart and you reset. The items will disappear and the cart will display at 0/8000. Then, let's say you placed a Jellopy there, making it 1/8000. If you remove + put on your cart, all your previous items will return, but that Jellopy will disappear. This could be problematic if people places some other more expensive stuff in there.
Ok so the Cart issue should be looked into, I'm scared now .
The one time option seems a good idea, but also has it's drawbacks... It's maybe better to just give everyone the reset (AFTER making sure it poses no problems with weight limits or carts) and make sure it's always on top of the patcher in Bright Bold Big letters... But then again everyone will just be like 'take it off already!' so meh...
I'm sure they will either find a way to do this properly or do whatever they want and handle the aftermath trough the support function , fine by me either way (support actually worked pretty well for me lately). Or wait... They might decide not to do it and the people that come back would have to pay for their first reset... We must not let that happen, go forced reset!
