Title: Last Wipe ETA?
Post by: Zoomzoom on October 19, 2014, 09:14:43 am

Unless I'm misinformed, there's suppose to be a big wipe (which is also the final major wipe) before launch. I have some questions about it.

Will this final wipe only occur when version 1.0 is released, or might it come earlier? I am asking because I have decided to wait until the last wipe before playing long-term again so the time and characters do not go to waste. However, if this final wipe is still a long while from now (if it will happen at all), I might just return to the game early since 1.0 may be years away.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Indeed, a few years ago, this was true, but meanwhile, the corresponding guidelines have changed, such that only partial wipes or replacements of particular quests, stats or items are to be expected as needed, but other player data will be widely conserved. For details, see the source topic:

This question has been asked plenty of times, and the answer is the following.

We will do our best to preserve the characters we have in game at every upgrade of the game.

EDIT: Wow, this quote is already three years old? And I did not mean to make a pseudo-official statement, so thanks for Eonwind's confirmation ;)

I confirm what Bonifarzia said: the characters won't be wiped.

Yeaaah... if you have to wait on PlaneShift's definitive launch for the wipe, it's never gonna happen. Well, never... In a long time, at least.

Now LigH it is a perennial favorite thread topic. That should be reason enough.

I confirm the quote, no other news on this topic in the last few years.
