Title: players getting deleted after new version
Post by: thisisdustin on July 12, 2007, 08:05:45 pm: I am just wondering do your characters get deleted every version?

I am new to this, so I don't know much.

best play now and get the enjoyment.
besides there is more to playing ps then leveling. like talking to people, playing as your character, sitting looking at the scenery, walking looking at the "scenery" ;)

Post by: Karyuu on July 12, 2007, 10:30:30 pm: We're only at version 0.3.019, and 0.1.00 came out around 2002. Take this into consideration if you're really want to wait for v1.0 :} It's not worth it at all.

From 0.3.0.018 to 0.3.0.019 it took 5 months. If Planeshift progresss keeps forever on this rate and on such change of digit version:

1.0 = 0.3.0.019 + 0.6.9.981 (69981 consecutive versions yet to 1.0). So if each of these versions would take 5 months to be completed:

69981 * 5 months = 349,905 months = 29,158 years and 9 months!!!!

Post by: LigH on July 12, 2007, 11:05:18 pm: I am here since Version 0.3.012, and my chars did not get deleted ever.

Some chars of other players even survived from Versions 0.2.x until today (and proudly wear a "Ring of the Past" as sign that they are now "inventory" ... just kidding!)

Post by: Karyuu on July 13, 2007, 12:10:45 am: The whole point of a wipe is to clean up old bugged accounts and test newer and more functional rules. No data is going to be given over to anyone for them to use on another unofficial server.

Since the original question has been answered and I do not encourage discussions about wipes - they turn into arguments 100% of the time - I will lock this thread. If you have any further questions on this subject, please feel free to send me a PM or an email, and I'll help you out as best as I can.
