now my opinion...

A wipe i good for those who just joined the game, it means they have the ability to grow like someone else.
for the ones who play the game a while, i think it's not really funny. you have to start over, train again, gain your money again. that means lots of diggin.
you'll lose all your collected stuff, even the rare ones.

if there will be a wipe, i'll start playing again, but Yahh probably won't.
