I've been here a long time, and I voted yes. This has been a great server and it's come a long way, but it didn't start great. We had exploits left and right, item duping, vendor bugs allowing straight plat generation...you name it. The economy here is completely destroyed because of this, not to mention both Kunark and Velious have proven to be a little more time consuming than the devs originally planned.
So even though they've said in the past there would never be a server wipe, I'd be all for it...provided it came AFTER Velious. I don't want a wipe just to bring the newcomers more in-line with those of us who have been here a while. I would want it to both fix the ravages of our early-server problems and also to provide a product that can finally follow the classic timeline.
This probably isn't a popular line of thinking, but I feel like everything up until the Velious launch should be one big beta-test for the real thing. Now we've worked out the bugs, found ways to actually police the server, and when both expansions are completely coded and ready we could do this thing right.
