I think the reason alot of people are thirsting for it is because a majority of the people who started on this server have left. With the rest of us finding out about it much later in its life, it's frustrating when a portion of the few who have remained from the beginning have a stranglehold on alot of the content. We just want a chance at stuff that's perma-camped or poopsocked, and a wipe would set an equal ground instead of all of us *hoping* the *OG's* will move on or by having to play by their rules to get at content.

This is what I like to call the "Revolutionary's Optimism". They could wipe, and this "equal footing" would be gone in no time. I'm not uber. I was for a time in Live. I don't want to be uber here. It's a lot of work. That's what the folks on the outside looking in always forget. That's what the folks on the inside never forget.

Within a week, those with the time will be top of the heap again; wipe or not. Those folks will always succeed ahead of the curve, not solely because they really know the game and are good, but because they also have the sick amount of time to invest.

That's why games like WoW are ingenious because the game can make the hardcore uber players and the time-starved power gamers both feel like they are really good.

You and I my friend... we're time starved power gamers. I agree with your sentiment, and there is certainly merit in the perspective of "I got here late but I'm just as good". However, in my experience, this sort of talk is the territory of the sour-grapes crowd.

They wipe the server and I guarantee that the top 10% with the knowhow and the time will be the top 10% by any measurable means three months from now if they keep playing.

/The above is my opinion and as such is no more valid or invalid than anyone else's opinion. Except of course for Insane Larry who drinks paint thinner and mates with electrical sockets; my opinion means more than his by default.
