I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Man screw a wipe, I just spent 48 hours getting to level 6. I can only imagine how long its going to take me to get to 60. If there is a wipe I can garantee you people will be livid, prob borderline suicidal.

If your that far deep in to fantasy, You need to get a life AWAY from the PC

If I was in charge, I'd wipe it just so I could watch the epic thread that would result, with all the tears. Boohoo.

Do you think this server is going to stay around forever? You going to pass your characters down in your will to your children? Log in 50 years from now so you can show your grandkids all your cool velious loot?

Server is compromised. Period.

Best idea is to open a brand new server, and let all the RMT's and dupers stay here, jerking off with their phat lewts and millions of pp.

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

wipe it clean! wipe it clean!

Haha not going to lie... Ive been lurking in the shadows anxiously hoping at some point there is a fresh p99. Theres nothing like a brand new server! I was stoked at red99 not for the pvp, but the chance to play again on an equal playing field, but eventually gave up around level 14 on the warrior I made on red, when it became apparent there were no groups.... and like the first 14 levels, I would have to solo my way to 50 haha.

ultimately its the devs call, but I for one would have mu ass glued to the chair playing p99 once again like a fiend if there was a chance to do all again from the very beginning. A lot of people, just like on live didnt hear about or start on this server until it was well on its way to kunark.

And what I posted in another thread about this exact reasoning:

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 (in this situation), (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.

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.

This^^^

Haven't played continuously or since the very beginning and I would love a crack at day 1 on a new server, but after velious has been out long enough for all the bugs to get worked out....Would be sweet to see what p99 would look like with a fresh start with a classic timeline without being a work in progress. See the fruits of all the work that went into this in it's purist state, as it were.

But wiping would be ridiculous.
