Default Rollback

We all know the server's integrity is at risk. A few pessimists have been crying for a wipe... Personally I think a complete wipe would have more adverse effects to the health of the server and as Rogean stated, it just won't happen. As an alternative to a wipe, what about rolling back a few weeks?

After the rollback of, say X weeks, the devs can compensate everybody by having 100% exp bonus for X weeks afterwards, and X weeks of half the variance time on raid mobs to satisfy the end-game folks.

Any thoughts?

This sounds terrible. Do you know how much of a clusterfuck rolling back 1000 people any number of weeks would be? There would be so much crying and drama and just everything would go wrong.

I think maybe we should roll forward a few weeks so all this trouble is behind us.

3. 3x Xp for ~3 weeks
4. Profit

Yes, it would suck for those who put in a ton of time lvling during the ddos. But I think the majority of us have not gotten much accomplished during the last few weeks.

In fact it drove many extra people to EC to trade since thats all they could do safely, which made the trading of duped items that much worse.

On the flip side if the dupe is fix and ddos gone having a 2x/3x xp period would put most of us well ahead of where we were as we could focus on lvling during the period for better gains.

The only issue major issue i see right off the bat would be account trades would be an issue. The plat x traded to y for an account rolls back...but the account info does not. So anyone who bought an account during the roll back period got it for free and those who sold are screwed.

But...tracking these few sales down and making it right would be a lot less work for the staff than chasing down duped items traded 3-4 times each through the logs.

Anyways...just an idea other than wipe it clean...wipe it kinda clean!

If we did a roll back, I'd probably quit. Since I've only been playing for 12 day thus far. I have received several donations and I've given tons of plat and gear donated by the community to distribute to new players. So if I lost my progression and currency/items It would be very disheartening.

+1 to this, rollback would just shit all over new players. No thanks.

This does not sound like a good idea to me.
