Is there a way that you could wipe everything except what everyone has equipped? Casual players without banks full of farmed loot would wouldn't feel the crunch so badly. Legitimately filled guild banks might suffer but they would still be better off than a complete wipe would leave them.

I know there would still be gear hidden on alts and.mules, but it might be better than the.nuclear option. Just brainstorming.

Ideas like this are so poorly thought out that they make my head hurt and are the reason why wipe it threads get torn apart so hard.

You suggest a solution, then also point out the gigantic glaring problem with your solution.

Delete all the items people do not have equiped? okay, go make an army of alts and equip everything.

The only people who get screwed are the people with no drop resist gear, gm event items (guise, oogly stick etc).. blah blah blah

Net result = duped items, rmt-ers etc keep their shit
honest players = screwed

great solution.

Wiping the server is not the answer.

Starting a new server is.

And they can only start a new server once the current dupe is fixed otherwise it will repeat itself on day 1.

I would be 1000000% for a new server, classic time line, proper level balance for content, proper inflation etc.

Wiping this server is dumb, let people sit on their pile of pixles if they want to. When the population naturally shifts from p1999 to p1999 new then you can end of life the original server. Forcing people to transfer is bad business for all of the previously states reasons in other posts.
