Rollback

[feanan]

1. new server, exploits and bugs patched, no character sales
or
2. wipe this server clean.
or
3. delete all items except no drop, and all pp from everyone in game

I'd be willing to bet for every one person who cried and never came back, 3 people who quit for various reasons would come back.

I would almost prefer a total wipe to a rollback, to be honest.

total wipe only if FTE rules are stringently enforced from day one, with zonewide shouts.

We will need volunteers to monitor the shouts, and adjudicate disputes.

I wipe where this is going.

Personally I think a wipe would be good, but Rogean already said it will never happen. So people need to stop trolling and move on.

Back in live on the test server they did an item wipe one time. Just poof, all your items gone. log in naked and bare knuckle the nearest decaying skeleton for his rusty weapon and start over on gear.

I'm not saying they should do that here, but it sure would give the RMT'ers second thoughts about doing business here in the future.

Yeah, it would also give actual players second thoughts about playing here in the future too.

"Finally got x after camping the mob for a week straight!"

Poof.

"Welp, screw this."

Test bound a tight little community... I don't think too many people actually quit over it. We were used to being abused so it rolled off us like water on rock! It did suck that there were no more guises on the server after that, though.

Definitive, unequivocal reply by Sirken before locking the thread:

No.

So... really, guys, move on.

Lets be honest, only people with ulterior motives want a wipe of the entire server; they want to feel like the server is fresh and brand new, and I can understand that feeling.

But its incredibly selfish, narrow minded, and would crush the stable community numbers we have now.

Are you going to wipe/roll back the server every time we have dupers and RMT's involved, which we will regardless of a wipe/roll back? Stop being so short sighted; this isn't a solution, its only the umbrella excuse.

Op's suggestion is a delusional option for the egocentric. No one is going to spend all the hours they originally invested into this server just to start from scratch again (he suggested a roll back but its similar and since this thread has been redirected and involves wiping, I'm addressing this topic primarily) just so you can imagine that you're unwrapping EQ out of its plastic and playing the game for the first time like you were 13.

Its a dumb idea, and its only held by the most depraved, jobless, retired, or disabled individuals here and catering to a vastly outnumbered portion of the populace advocating this option.

Motion denied.
