Request: Information about DB wipe.
« on: December 30, 2004, 11:47:09 am »
I would like to have some \"official\" information (by a dev?) about the \"upcoming\" (whenever, take as much time as needed, this post is not meant as \"when will XY happen\") DB wipe if possible which was mentioned several times over the last days.

Does this mean all characters will be completelly deleted and have to be recreated or does this just mean the \"achievements\" (Guild Status, quests, PP, money) will be reseted and the character is basically as it was after creation before the first login?

Can anyone enlighten me if this has already been decided?

Have fun and be safe...!

From what I\'ve heard, everything goes and the process would start over from the migration point.  So, it\'d be like creating a whole new character; you lose everything.

It also means if you didn\'t like your last character, you can change it!

Of course, this is only what I know, and it\'s nothing official.

I\'d like to know this too, didn\'t get anything about how the stats worked when I started off, so would like to delete my chars anyway and restart from zero.

Yes, I have heard that it will restart from the migration point, meaning (to me, anyway) that the people who migrated will have what they brought from MB and no more, and that the people who didn\'t migrate will have to recreate. I don\'t know that *accounts* will be wiped, however...

I could be wrong, but it\'s my take on this.

No dev has said anything about a DB wipe.

If it does happen, it\'ll happen when the DB is ready for it - and there is no date and no time for when that is.
