Thanks for that nilbog post, Ele. Hes probably right, people might not want to continue playing if a wipe was imminent.
Path of Exile took an interesting approach. Whenever they make a major change to balance or fundamentals in a patch they "move" all existing characters to a legacy server that can forever continue to play (under the new patch). This way the main server technically starts fresh and is unaffected by the imbalances caused by previous exploits, and older players who liked where they were and didn't want to lose out on their time invested could continue without interruption.
