LOL wiping would make it even worse:
a) A certain percentage of players (mostly casual) would not want to level up toons again, and not come back after wipe.
b) You still have two organized uber guilds that, now issued a new, fresh competitive challenge, will re-organize similarly to try to beat each other now that they perceive they're on equal footing.
c) These min-maxers, now having started all at the same time instead of trickling in as they happened upon P99, will camp the highest XP zones (Crushbone/belts, Blackburrow/gnoll fangs, Unrest, Oasis, Guk/SolB/Kedge... you know the drill) and cockblock the other guild (and everyone else on the server) by attempting to monopolize coveted spawns (FBSS, etc). This will drive other casual players away.
d) Planar/Dragon/God poopsocking/cockblocking/training/drama all over again, within 2 months. Right back where we started.
So, you want a server wipe? I hear there's a brand new server starting up soon. And there won't be any poopsocking on it, so you can have true competition. You can all start at level 1 and see which guild is the best over there! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |

Let me underscore the fact that if there were a wipe, many players would loose trust in the powers that be. What would be the point of regrowing new chars if at any time those in control might aribtrarily decide they need to wipe? The game is in reality, a huge time waster anyway - a wipe would only underscore that fact and yes, many would never return.
The people that advocate wipe probably have no real life and so would not mind so much. Well, a lot of us do have actual lives filled with responsibilities and we have to arrange things to get any kind of decent, but still limited, play time. A wipe would just be a kick in the teeth.
