Why do I read only positive comments regarding the general-wipe?

Just as a reminder...
We will try to preserve as much information as possible (like guilds) but all points, trias, and items will be gone and reset to the starting position (i.e. nothing or what you got from the MB migration).

...everybody agrees to loose his own work of maybe 1 or 6 months? Even if things in the game are wiped due to a bug in the past that has given advantage to some players in the game. Are such lucky things not also a part of the real life? I haven\'t seen anything that those advanteges haven\'t been regulating themselves in the game. The millionaires made contests or bought weapons for millions. So, others could benefit from that too. And exactly all these activities around the money bug has given some impact in the game. Espacially when all the nice weapons were wiped and players were frustrated.

I can\'t believe, that one day I will find myself in the sewers and start killing rats for hours and days again! And I have to build my character from scratch ... looting, training skills and stats, find weapons and so on ...

I don\'t think that a wipe does help to develop the game. There are more important tasks that should be done. Even as a Alpha-Tester, one should get respect for the work he did in the game. And should not be treated as a monkey feeded with peanuts.

Many players do not agree to just loose everything (points, skills, weapons, money, etc.) they hardly built up by hours, days, weeks and months. Some wont play PS anymore. Guilds will disapear. Others will be more aggresive in the game to quickly develop to the level they lost. And therefore you can be sure, that the players will then wipe themself from PS.

Hey, we - the players - are the ones that decide if all your work gets the applause or not. The best programmed game isn\'t as good as there are no players anymore. And without audience no applause.

Dear developers you should really think about your wipe-out plan.

I still hope, that I\'m a fool and did not understand the consequences of the planned wipe and therefore my above comments are useless.

And yes, I\'m one of those who took an advantage out of the money bug, because someone bought a dagger for 1 mil. from me - it wasn\'t even a realy good dagger ;-). Believe it or not: the fact is that others were benefiting too out of my luck. Contests, support, jokes, happy days, funny chats, etc. - just nice activities instead of monotonous looting.

P.S. My english isn\'t that good, cause my mothertongue is german. But I hope the readers understand my opinion.
