With all due respect, Sirken, you're no Solomon.

they mentioned new server... careful what u wish for... wake up to a new blank char select [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] oh the tears would flow

Would also destroy the trust of the playerbase and would make a lot of quality people leave.

it was a good first run. accept that it can no longer continue after all the advantages and exploits, accept the great data you have, and start the real project.

its the responsible thing to do and would allow the cheaters to be caught. or are u against taking away unfair advantages cause u have one?

Wiping everything won't stop the hacks. It will temporarily slow down RMT. It would also render every hour I've spent on my characters fleshing them out to be wasted, and I know I wouldn't be the worst hit by that aspect.

I've been thinking on the subject a while as to what a plausible solution might be. Closest thing I've come up with is allowing a naked transfer, with a limited number of "exemption" items. Pick somewhere between 3 and 5 items to take with you. Epic automatically included, and your choice of (we'll say three) other items. Maximum two characters per account transferred, maybe with a level limit of 46 or greater to prevent mule transfers (gotta make it count).

This is all pipe dreaming afaic, as neither scenario will actually happen, and it would still be subject to abuse unless you made the items nodrop only. I would hope that'd be avoidable but I doubt it.

I'm getting the feeling I'm responding to trolling but I'll bite one last time for the sake of clarification.

I'll be fine. The real currency of an MMO is time. If I consider the most fun aspect of the game to be the high end and having a pixel collection, a wipe kind of adversely affects my enjoyment of the game, wouldn't you say? It would most definitely force me to look elsewhere for entertainment, and again, I doubt I'm alone in that regard.

Unless we're re-creating the classic test server and the subsequent wipe (which, by the way, was met with great wailing and gnashing of teeth), the most benevolent solution to those problems is either the creation of a new server or some sort of limited transfer.

What's the difference in starting a new server/wiping before or after Velious.

Think about it.

VELIOUS WILL HAVE BUGS

Will you be crying for another wipe because of this? Probably.

So the server should be wiped twice INSTEAD of having a brand new server when Velious is complete with the majority of bugs fixed.

Stupid.

Sorry this doesn't hold water. Was the server wiped when Kunark was released due to bugs? Not hardly. That's what betas and test servers are for, to work out the majority of issues. Sure some issues may slip through, just like they did with Kunark, but the server will make it through fine just as it did then.

Alright, I can't stand it anymore.

Look Langrisserx... Stop. Just stop.

Half of your posts...well, I can't even understand what in the hell you're trying to say. You can't punctuate, you can't spell.

Dude, the epitome of the finalization of relentless ignorance often precludes with spelling the word MORON, with "moran".

Seriously, just stop. For your own damned good, stop. You're massively hurting my brain. Really.
