The problem is alot of stat levelling has been funded by the ill economy and/or duplicated trias. Therefore it is horrendously balanced.

Do you not see? You're not meant to max 6 skills and all stats.... real people just don't do that in a lifetime.

Edit: So Qter, you expect the devs to not wipe out of "respect" when you can't respect them enough to respect that a wipe is actually necessary for PlaneShift to grow?

WOW!! This coming from a guy who wants RP police. How would you have any idea what a "normal" number of stats ans skills the races of Yliakum could train? Some races may live as long as 400 years.

why don't the devs just go ahead and wipe? this isn't a democracy. and i really don't think anyone needs compensation for lost levels. sure, may be annoying, but a total wipe is for the greater good. players can work for it again if they care so much.

to all the whiny nerds: why did you join a game in alpha if you knew this could happen? you're all testers, this is what happens when you join an incomplete game. suck it up.

lol @ threats to quit. you'll see it's not so bad. not as many people as you think will leave, and if they're solely on laanx for leveling they'll move to that other server.

The game will always be in development, I guess we will all be testers forever (as is the case with most open-source software). The game is already 6 years old, and will continue to evolve forever. But to say that people against a wipe are "whiners" is ignorant. Some people have spent years leveling crafting and magic. If there isn't a way to transfer the data from the databases yet, then perhaps a method should be developed.

And I am in no way anywhere near max levels but I know quite a few who are, and who will quit playing if you wipe. I don't understand why it seems many people are so closed-minded about this. Hard-core RP'ing could be done in a chat room, where nothing exists, or even in your basement with dice and cards. This isn't D&D, people, PS is much much more than just an RP experience. A wipe without at least exploring options is a bad idea.

Many people assume that anyone who levels is not an RP'er. Totally not the case. Myself and many others who enjoy leveling also enjoy RP'ing. But not all the time. They both can get boring if you do one or the other all of the time IMHO.

Those that play the game for it's intended purposes will not leave.


So are you the game creator? I thought the purpose of the game was to have fun. And if you are a Realm 7 mage or a 300q crafter, exactly how is having to do training for those all over again "fun"?

 yet if they play for the right reasons this will not be the deciding factor in their leaving.


Please explain to me what the "right reasons" for playing this game are. I didn't realize I had the wrong reason to play, please enlighten me.

This from the PS website: (http://www.planeshift.it/about.html)

Here are 10 reasons why you should become a player and a fan of PlaneShift:

   1. Planeshift is a great place to find new friends from all over the world!
   2. PlaneShift is a virtual world where you've always dreamed of living.
   3. PlaneShift is the first 3D MMORPG to be fully free for players.
   4. Thanks to our open development process the game will be expanded endlessly for years to come.
   5. Planeshift is a game made by roleplayers to bring you all the immersion you need from a virtual world.
   6. A unique setting, realistic combat rules, great magic system.
   7. No budgetary constraints will stop development of the world or prevent the addition of new ideas.
   8. You will be able to build your house, your castle, your realm.
   9. You have the option to live as an adventurer or as a normal citizen - both paths will be rewarded in the game.
  10. You can submit comments, ideas, bugs and the dev team will take those into account in future releases.

and furthermore:

Game features

      The following list represents some of the features of the final product. Please remember that today PlaneShift is still under heavy development.

      12 playable races with unique traits!
      Unlimited professions through a skill system,
      Original magic system with six Ways of magic,
      Hundreds of spells,
      Numerous huge worlds to explore,
      A great number of quests to test your wit and skill,
      Monsters and NPCs with good AI that produce game events,
      A world that evolves with or without player interaction,
      Create your own house or castle,
      Politics and economy,
      ... and much much more!

Hundreds of spells that you will now be wiped of!

A wipe is nonsense, count me as against it, and I will quit playing if it happens.
