[DarkwingDuck]

who wants to lockdown manastones 24/7 for a year with me

i would.

and on a 2nd note. server wipe.. no thanks.

do yo uforget that i dont want to re-levle the 4 toons i already have to 50.

what needs to happen is velious already, after 2 years

[Sirken]

will never happen

[Breeziyo]

So what about a server wipe stops cheaters from continuing to cheat on new characters?


?????????????

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

as the person with the most to lose, i fully support the upcoming wipe

[Gadwen]

voting yes for maximum troll power

[webrunner5]

So what about a server wipe stops cheaters from continuing to cheat on new characters?


?????????????

Or the same top guilds from being the same top guilds. :p

[Faulken]

I don't see the point in this, the devs have already hinted at starting up a fresh server (a looooong time) after Velious. The only people that would support this are people who haven't put much time into their characters.

[myriverse]

Yeah.

Haters gonna hate.
Cheaters gonna cheat.
Overachievers gonna overachieve.

I'm just gonna kill pixel stuff for more pixel stuff.

[The Situation]

Fuck off with this shit.

[Barkingturtle]

I voted wipe it.

Frankly the server has been irrevocably damaged by the extended timeline, and I don't think Velious alone is going to fix it. It's not so much about cheaters -- who will find ways to cheat -- it's about the ridiculous glut of high-level, geared characters. So I say wipe it, and change the emu registration process so that one can never use a new email other than the one associated with the account at birth. That way changing the passwords is meaningless and account sales will end, too.

That's how I'd fix what's wrong with this server. Honestly, when I started playing here almost four years ago, I thought the work was done and that the timeline would be classic as well as the content. If I had known then that this was just an extended beta I probably would have said, "No thanks", let me know when the timeline won't be horribly skewed.

[Jellob_Iafra]

I vote yes if the new server doesn't have variance

[Tecmos Deception]

I'd like to know how a server wipe is going to get rid of cheaters, please.

[feanan]

Though of course this would never happen, I'd be for it.

It would be nice if they'd open a new server, with some rules, as barkingturtle said above. No email changes, stop the account buying and selling, a lot of the early bugs and loopholes have been fixed now, etc.

Exactly. Who would you hang ou... interview, then?

[sulpher01]

By this reasoning after the servers been on velious for a year or more we should wipe again.... idiots.

[xCry0x]

who wants to lockdown manastones 24/7 for a year with me

No, but I will lock down ass/sup and create a massive amount of lvl 1 guised rangers, ogre shaman, monks, paladins & druids. Then when Kunark comes out we go bind them all at firepots, wait a year and sell them for 500k a pop.

muahahahaa..

[Nirgon]

This is the beta for the project's goal: a time line based classic server.

Why wipe a beta?

[Hateplow]

Yeah, that worked out real well for Jehova.

Platlord will build an ark.

[Hateplow]

By this reasoning after the servers been on velious for a year or more we should wipe again.... idiots.

Where will you be in 2016?

[Deanob]

A better idea would be to wipe a dead server like red and offer character transfers to a new blue server like Sony did back on live, that was a classic feature per say.

[Lojik]

Are peoples characters running out of toilet paper??

[Rastignac]

As a 15 Mage, I fully welcome this. Have always wanted to be involved in the frontier land-grab that is a server's first month or so.

[Nirgon]

I'll have you know that the PvP server has done well to attract its own kind of player, and those who have certainly contributed (in one way or another) to developing a more classic time line.

See: Chardok faction

[thufir]

Only if we started over with pre-Kunark. Kinda surprised there are that many Yes votes, though.

[SamwiseRed]

because new server is the most fun duh.

[Kika Maslyaka]

the original poster should have included following options:

3. Wipe only Red Server
4. Permanently remove Red Server
5. Release Luclin NOW!
6. Release Mists of Pandaria!

replies would have been much more interesting. ;)

Blueprint to Success:


1. Realize P99 right now is just a prolonged beta test.
2. Release Velious immediately and get all the kinks worn out.
3. Keep developing retroactively to make this game as CLASSIC as possible with the Titanium client. There's still loads of un-classic content right now.
4. Wipe this shit and put the server on a real classic -> kunark -> velious timeline.
5. Get rid of the Red server. PvP is not fun with a 100 pop. Instead, introduce PvP to blue with /guildwar. This also solves the current problems with high-end raiding.

[Gadwen]

Wipe the server, then initiate another wipe every time the first cleric gets his epic.

[Nirgon]

Do all of the everything, immediately

[Lopretni]

Option 3) Remove blue, all development now focused on red

[Dirtnap]

This is the beta for the project's goal: a time line based classic server.

Why wipe a beta?

I don't understand why people repeat this on the forum every now and then. The ACTUAL beta had little no players on it, because it was a beta and was going to be wiped upon launch. This is RELEASE where they haven't and don't plan to wipe anything for years to come.

There are no intentions by the staff to wipe the server after Velious at this point. I don't think there are intentions on releasing the server information after Velious is complete either. So how is this beta?

EDIT: And if this is in fact considered to be beta by the staff, post that shit on the front page of the website.

[Swish]

I don't understand why people repeat this on the forum every now and then.

Same can (and should) be said for most of the Velious threads. I won't lie there's a few good ones, but the rest are just varying degrees of elbowing the devs to release it quicker.

Sure, it should have been here by now... but lets not rush hard working volunteers. Once it's here, it's here "forever" - you can only enjoy looking forward to it once... unless you're angry enough to fail at starting your own Velious server, as has been seen.

[myriverse]

Spawn Kerafyrm in EC tunnel. Wipe!

[Joroz]

wipe em!!! buy a couple years for a on time velious release

[Lowlife]

Wipe them clean.

[August]

63 to 36 percent.

If this was an election year we'd call that a 'landslide' victory.

[Lopretni]

Yeah, on the forums. Pose this question in-game, you'll find it's a much different story.

Forums don't matter for any MMO. Emulated, past, present, future, original.

[Lowlife]

I hate to admit it, because I love red99, but this is a pretty good idea..

A solution has been determined. /thread

[Loli Pops]

I really feel a wipe should be considered considering all the recent news regarding illegitimate gains.

[fastboy21]

what is interesting here isn't whether or not the wipe will happen (it won't, the devs have said this forcefully and explicitly)...

it is very interesting that a majority of folks, at the least the folks who vote here on the forums, are in favor of it...why? is it related to the RMT, cheating, etc...or folks just want to start from scratch for fun factor?

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

was hoping for a "burn it down" option

There areare people who have legitimate concerns with what's been going on but I feel that those people are in the minority. How many are bandwagoning, or are just looking to use a wipe as a way to get on top of raiding?

[Reguiy]

Everyone in TMO: No. Everyone else: Yes.

[FoxxHound]

I like to wipe things...

[Reapin]

Only problem with this it would create a refreshed customer base for platlord. The better option would be make everything no drop and zones level dependent.

[thugcruncher]

if you wipe back to front you're fucked up

[Loli Pops]

Burn it down.

[Alawen]

[Nastinate]

You guys are retarded if you think the same bs is'nt gonna happen all over again.

[Spitty]

Fuck every single one of you that wants to wipe out the goddamn time I've spent building my char on this server. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. Can't say it enough - fuck you.

It's your goddamn fault for being shitty humans, shitty examples of disgusting people who engage in exploiting, cheating, trolling, RMT and all the other pathetic subhuman bullshit that has brought us to this point. Your. Fucking. Fault.

And the best solution you can come up with is to wipe everything and start anew? Really? Fucking pathetic. Fucking disgustingly pathetic. I physically feel disgusted when I think of the shitty, shitty, garbage kind of person that it takes to put this server in this situation.

Pathetic. You and your kind shouldn't have ever existed. You're the result of decades of mistakes made by shitty people, shitty parents, and shitty communities and you're continuing the trend in a digital environment. Fucking up this community is, apparently, the only thing you were born to do.

Fucking pathetic. Get the fuck off this planet.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

(laughing at you not with you)

[Alawen]

On a sober note, this is an absolutely horrible idea and would lead to the death of both servers. Half of the use base would disappear immediately, most of them the casual players. A persistent universe game that is not actually persistent holds very little appeal for the people who take their time leveling. The remaining hardcore freaks would create a community even more concentrated with piss and vinegar.

A more viable alternative is to launch a third, fresh server. That would maintain confidence in the project as a coherent experience while creating the cleansed environment some people are shouting for. There would immediately be cheating and exploitation and the same kinds of people, possibly the exact same individuals, would rapidly dominate the new server.

Have a nice day! :D

[Reapin]

Coming in 3 years after the party started I would support a complete server wipe.

[Nuggie]

Poll is inaccurate. How many people have multiple accounts that they vote with?

Kind of like the last presidential election.

[Loli Pops]

Confirmed.

[raff01]

A wipe would probably get us rid of quite a few hardcore players especially a lot of people from TMO.
people who invested over 5000 hours in their chars would not tolerate such thing and would likely ragequit, leaving the server to casual players which suits me well.

Nah, Alawen's right on this one. We're the ones who would come back, no problem. The initial leveling process and regearing process for mains and alts is by far the best time on the server. Level 60 is boring as piss most of the time. What do you get for the man who has everything?

It's the people who are like, late 40s early 50s who can play a few hours a day that would be furious. Most of the nolifers could swing another 60 in a month or two :P

This. And the same people who think first kills on an emu server 14 years later is something to be proud of, would jump on the opportunity to do it all over again. For example, for some TMO that would be the opportunity to have some server firsts they never did.

[Daldolma]

hope that's not what happens

guess we'll have to see

[Alawen]

I don't have any responsibilities until the day after Labor Day. I'm pretty sure I could make sixty before then.

[raff01]

I am in the late 40's and only have a few hours to play per week.
I would love a server wipe. Tho I'm in the late 40"s and it took me time to get there, I'd still enjoy the most the early and mid levels. they are the most fun.

[Mesenkomaha]

61% say yes. Wipe it!

You're kidding yourself if you think anyone would quit. What would they do? Play the sleeper? Play Diablo 3? Stop playing games? Yeah right.

[Stinkum]

i had 1,000x more fun grouping in raw-hide armor in a orc 1 group with 10pp to my name than i ever doing anything else on this server. all those twinks i rolled with CoFs Fungis was a complete waste of time (what's the point?).

trust me, playing on a brand-new server where all the noob/mid-level zones and dungeons packed with groups in shit gear is really fun to play. and i'm only here for fun and nostalgia, not to amass pixels for a +1 to my elf armor e-peen
