General Discussion / Re: Wipe question for the 'NO' people. What would make a wipe worth it?
« on: February 26, 2008, 11:04:40 pm »
First of all Id like to make my statement about the state of the game. Today most mmorpgs will never be "finished" for example if WOW devs would state that they are going to stop developing the game since it is finished most of the people would be irritated. So you cant always hang up for the statement that this game isnt finished, it might have some glitches and stuff that devs are working on before they will start calling it ready but id really hope that they wouldnt stop developing the game to that.
Secondly about the skill differences between characters, thats really not a good reason for a wipe that new players are too jealous for the older players for them being better. I dont have very good characters at the moment but Im still not hoping for a wipe so that the "better" characters would be wiped. It will offer some challenge to the game if there is older players that you need to catch up to.
And finally about what would make the wipe worth it. If the Devs were to put something new to the game that would really make the old characters obsolete I could easily accept the char wipe. For example if they woulde implement the racial traits, if they were to take away the chance to use heavy armor for klyros, I could understand the wipe completely. Another good reason would be some kind of huge update that would bring loads of more stuff to the game that would be just plainly easier to put in with wipe. But Im really not in for the idea that when there is any kind of new thing going to be put in to the game there will be a wipe, nor will i understand the wipe to make everyone have even starting ground to the game. The older players should have the advantage over the newer players if they want it. And no one is stopping an old player to make a new char eh?
