Firstly, I'm going to say that it will be very difficult to please everyone. The amount of progress lost on each player is very different. There are some of us who spent days playing to get good gear or max skills, while there are others who played a significantly less amount of time. By compensating everybody equally with 5 Donor boxes and 2 legendary mboxes, you aren't being fair to those who worked extremely hard for their progress. They are the one's who were online most of the time to keep the server active and alive.
The ideal solution would of course be recovering the character files. But if that is not possible, You should at least return players some/all of the known equipment that they had before the reset. For players who lost progress in skills, they should be compensated with dragonkin lamps. As this is a relatively new server, the player base wasn't very big before the reset. It shouldn't be hard to compensate everyone individually according to their needs, rather than give everyone 5 donor boxes, 2 legendary mboxes, and pretend that the wipe never happened at all.
