General Discussion / Re: Wipe y/n?
« on: November 10, 2009, 09:41:12 pm »
If a wipe happens without any sort of "compensation" (i.e. skill retain) for those of us who've spent countless hours training both in battle skills and the painful learning of a craft, I will most likely leave the game. Early on, I joined a guild that was immensely helpful in getting me through the challenges of developing a character who could finally defeat a clacker, then a tefusang, then the mighty trepors, and ultimately the more challenging beasts in game. Having to go through that long grinding process is not something I want to redo.
Lately I have spent an enormous amount of time learning dagger crafting. This is not a fun process, but I finally have some reward in being able to occasionally produce a Finest dagger. To have this thrown away? I can't even imagine, knowing how long it takes now, wanting to go through the process again. I do have a great deal of fun doing RP with some in the game, and while it is true that that aspect would remain post-wipe, I would again be a weakling, needing to spend a great deal of time either digging or collecting rat eyeballs just so I could become strong enough to not be felled by a rat.
Please don't wipe. As a developer/dba myself, I imagine there must be some way of preserving at least some aspect of the characters' skills. Granted, it would take some effort, but I think those of us who've spent many hours developing our characters would appreciate it.
Thanks,
