Since the Wipe poll has surpassed the 300 replies marker, and considering the repetitive nature of the thread, it seems appropriate at this time to create a place to vent regarding all the hooplah that thread has created. This, I hope, will be that place.
So, ground rules might be necessary:
1. No arguing about wipe or no wipe in this thread
2. Complaints about that thread are welcome, but let's not make things personal
3. Wipe jokes are a must; they are plentiful and easy to create
4. This is about RELIEF, it is not meant to accomplish anything else. So have fun.
After having read most of the posts on the Wipe Poll, I'm done discussing that topic. I personally have found great solace in trying to make new models for PS, at times it's even more fun than playing! How is everyone else dealing with this cloud over their heads? Oh, and please wipe your shoes off before you come in, I know how dirty it is out there.

I find the way you guys steamrollered over the devs a bit depressing.

Hillarious. :lol:
Turned me into one of those crazy people that breaks a dead silence with an unintentional laugh while staring only at their computer screen.

No, not going to wipe the characters, only going to wipe our RP skills. A inverted wipe!
<everyone logs in and wanders around, saying "is this a fun game?" "give me gold plz" and "how du u win this game NE how?" >
Man... all those years building my backstory... and personas... all gone.....

@ Zalya:/me cackles madly *
I know you were probably talking about the amnesia part, but it makes me want to start a giant robot RP in the plaza now. ;D
Ph34r teh bionic maulbernaut!

do we really need a thread to express relief over the ending of the wipe thread? really?
.....oh the drama!
-
"Need" is a strong word, but i felt it would be good for my psychological health if there were a different thread I could look forward to rather than the redundancifest that the Wipe thread has become. I mean, there are only so many times you can read the same 5 or 6 statements before you just wanna claw your eyes out, am I wrong? I just wanna wipe the whole issue from memory.
-

Still we have the Stats=Character misnomer, wiping the DB wil not remove memories, backstories or old roleplays only you can do that by refusing to treat the wipe as ooc and not roleplaying around the stat/skill loss until you can level up again.
PlaneShift is a Roleplay centric game, stats are there to help your roleplay not define it.

Didn't you read the START of Bamkos's posting, Mordraugion? ;-)

Talad could never be erased!

Nice use of sarcasm.

I like this thread because I also wipe after being reliefed :detective:

it was done in either ezpcusa and the internal test server :P /me hides from the wrath of talad :)

Damn someone spotted my attempt to relight the flame war :whistling:
-

oh yeah, I took a Talad :@#\ and wiped my Laanx, :sweatdrop: and felt much lighter. O--)
yeah, I know, I was one of the most outspoken against it at first, but I've had some breathing time with the paper bag.
-
Does that mean they wipe my logs??? Is there a way to back them up?? I don't want to lose my logs... *cries*
* derula lies down on a nearby Ulber fur and coils up, occasionally sobbing "no, not my logs..."
-
aren't logs just dead trees... for that matter where did you get logs ingame. i didn't think they were implemented yet.
-
A Wipe ? Oh noooos... Guess I'll have to start mining plat so I can buy some new Q300's :'(
Oh ! ??? Wait a minute ... :o
You mean its back to killing rats with a lame q50 that I can no longer buy from NPC's ? :@#\
-
The only thing I want is a garauntee that after the wipe, our Yliakum won't be crawling with Klingons and such, that would make things faaaar too complicated.
(I couldn't help it, I had to perform at least a little lameness :oops: )

Just save a copy outside where they usually go on your computer.

We need a new forum emoticon for "over your head" jokes, apparently

Agreed.

DELETE FROM characters;
Edit: ops wrong window.

begin tran
DELETE FROM characters;
--rollback

f'xd
:P

DELETE FROM characters;
Can't you start a poll for which query to use?
My vote goes for DELETE FROM characters WHERE user_id != (SELECT id FROM users WHERE email = '[email id removed]')
(okay this probably won't do what I want it to do; whatever you know what I mean)

yeah that will show many errors :)
this works better DELETE FROM characters where account_id != (SELECT id from accounts where username = "...."); btw i'd suggest you to remove your email from your message
-
/sigh
BEGIN TRAN
DELETE
FROM tCharacters
join tAccounts ON tCharacters.account_id = tAccounts.account_id
WHERE
tAccounts.username = 'Nekos Account Name'
--rollback
--commit
more efficient DB handling to use join statement than nested select statements! :P
-
it seems neko wants to optimize wipes so we can wipe faster :D
-
Well, as we all are aware, making sure wiping is done properly makes sure there isn't any leftover bits still hanging around to cause issues later on. ;-)

Like ... hemorrhoids! :lol: :flowers:
-
What about a recursive wiping function, wouldn't that be efficient? Just remember to set an exit trigger, otherwise the server will sit there wiping forever...wouldn't want our servers chafing, now would we?
-

I've canceled that e-mail address years ago. Got too much spam :P

Hahaha, I like your humor!
(recursive... efficient... *giggle*)
-
Well, it kinda is from a development standpoint. I once programmed a checkers game using Scheme. Less than 200 lines. Buuuut...yeah, not so efficient from a performance standpoint, no :whistling:
-
I wonder if there is such a thing as a Tuxx medicated pads for server hemoroids?
yeah, bad one, only thing I could come up with...
but, truth be told, I'd definately not want klingons orbiting the pit....
