Unfortuently, people complain about wipes but really, they just help more come along by taking advantage of bugs.. shame on them. Freaking have to make more wipes. O well thats the alpha beta stage life.

And what about those who don\'t take advantage from bugs?

Really though, a wipe is annoying but it doesn\'t do anything besides take away your levels and make you go bankrupt.  You\'re left with the same knowledge, insights, and contacts you had before.  The same agenda (if any).  If anything, it\'s cool because you get to start over and refine your character.

Wow zanzy, you just summed up why most people take part in testing.  Other than its just figgen fun to find ways to crash the server during beta testing when the makers tell you to go nuts trying to crash the server.

But I digress.  The major wipe has taken place, with more to come in the future as these things always happen.  I suggest you have fun exploring and getting better knowledge of the world and don\'t put al your time into power leveling.

I am sorry to say that there isn\'t a whip weapon in the game yet, the the great whip you speak of is still yet to come.

Just whip it, whip it good.

Well, taking advantage of bugs will just result in more wipes. Just report it to PS devs and end with it. It will save everyone more time and less crashes.

I personally don\'t like wipes...
They are soo annoying and undo everything you worked for but...
THEY ARE NECESSARY so I still am with them.
The next wipe better not get rid of the character\'s and guilds though.

Yeah, maybe just item + skill wipes would be best. Then you would remain with your guilds, buddies, name/char, and other stuff that would be no point to erasing.

If there is a wipe, it has to be:

items
tria
skill gains (both weapons, ways, AND stats such as strength etc)
progression points
