Personally, I feel as though this might be one of those things that gets overlooked by a lot of people, mainly due to the fact that it throws an absolutely massive wrench in the gears of a lot of people's characters.Â
To me, it seems like a cop-out by SE so they don't have to develop an entirely different storyline for 1.0 players, since if our characters were remembered, well, we'd probably receive a heroes welcome and be sent off on some dangerous mission above what they'd have a newer adventurer work their way up to.
Either way, there's a whole mess of us that are canonically "Warriors of Light", and will probably stick with that branding, however forgo the loss of memories from those that didn't skip. I know some of my friends are choosing to ignore it in regards to my character, and that's fine with me, as I'd rather they not have forgotten about him. It just seems silly.
That being said, I'm all for anyone else from 1.0 that interacted with my character having all memory of him swept away. That's their own choice, and I'd stand by it fully.
As has also been mentioned in the thread, we really don't know the full of the situation. I'll go into detail in the spoiler below since they are technically storyline spoilers.
Bottom line, it could be anything. We really just don't know the specifics yet or just how wide spread it is. All anyone has right now is speculation. That's about it.
