The skills you have as an alpha are also used on the omega, so it would be better to upgrade and use the omega training time to improve on the skills you already have (and get new ones) rather than start a new character from scratch and have to retrain everything.

I would start again if I didn't like my name or didn't like the name I had made for myself. Never waste training time if you can

I would recommend keeping your existing character unless you have a good reason not to. No sense retraining all those skills.

The main difference between Alpha and Omega for the first few months is training speed - not the skills you train.

Can I use this if I've been Omega before?

The site acts weird for me, I can see the offer when I'm not logged in but when I log in it redirects me to the normal 'add game time' page. But if I log in by pressing the 'Upgrade to Omega' button, I reach the checkout page just fine.
