If lag issues are caused by tons of bad or useless data in the database, then a wipe will help with lag. I say do it. Do it now.

whats wrong with the data?

Lots of things, caused by bugs or exploits or improvements to systems which break compatibility with data.

Are we talking only about the character data?

No chance to edit it?

I have been playing this game, pretty much day and night to get to where i am right now. Wiping now would break my heart. I am finally able to duel, walk by a rogue instead of run, i am just learning crafting. This is nuts. If you need something to do I can give you a list of ones I would LIKE to see wiped!!!! I vote NO NO NO NO       :@#\ :o

There is what? 30,000+? 300,000+ character accounts? The devs don't have enough time to manually edit everything.

No Wipe

i dont have a problem that older players have other stuff. it will always be like that. and i think they are other solution than such a big wipe for getting rid of bad data.
i dont know if i could start from the beginning on, not cause of levels and trias, but cause of friends who wont come anymore.

I voted yes.  IMO, we are long overdue for a wipe.  You can't argue that it's not fair, because it's been done in the past.  I lost all my skillz and levelz before, and guess what?  I got to have fun re-training in the new environment.  It's gotten to the point where I think the bugs and exploits, and also changes in mechanics, have made this necessary.  We wont' really get a feel for how PS is now, up from a few versions ago, until we have to start over in it.

I would especially feel sorry for the dedicated crafters who spent numerous hours, days and weeks =/
At least I consider crafting-training the most tedious one.

I think the most highly ranked and time vested characters should remain and the rest be wiped to start over.

I think all the new characters from the last month should be left, and everyone else started over. Especially the older vested characters.

Yamera: That's the opposite of what a wipe wants to achieve :P

favoritism tisk... You should be banned for such thinking.


Eldoth has a good point, for when we do have an actual wipe.
