I'll vote no.
Just because my char took a long time to train, and that if it is wiped i'll never try to train it up again. That's an egotistic point of view that i think i share with some other players, but i really care for my char.
On the other hand, I understand a wipe would enhance RP. Training without any further goal than "being strong" is somehow pointless and not funny in my opinion. But try roleplaying someone who has a lot of experience in fighting with a char that would lose against a rat. For me a wipe would mean more than 2 years of playing erased in a second. Even if i love RPing (i really do) i don't think this is a good idea.
I agree with this post, although my reason is not egocentric as Josel was only created a month ago, and so many are stronger than I, but I like it that way..
The fact is for me, that a char's stats has an effect on the way I treat them in RP... If somebody comes up to me waving their sword in my face in the tavern, I will kindly ask them to put it away.. If they refuse, I will evaluate their strength, and act accordingly. If I didn't care about somebody's stats, I might as well be IRC roleplaying or something.
The only exception this case is if say, somebody had bodyguards/friends/guild members with them, in which case I will try to remember them, and maybe get revenge later on (exactly how real life works.)
Just because I love stirring the pot.
All the arguments made by people who are against the wipe that I've read fail to address the point that wipes are necessary to move the game forward.
To state my point of view in the most simple terms: If you love the game, you won't mind the wipe.
Well.. hopefully the devs will weigh up the pros of the new improvements that will be implemented after a wipe, and the cons of the history/characters/etc being destroyed and make a good valuable decision.

. I've done some more fiddling since 0.4.01 and haven't found a fix yet, but will let you know if I do.
