If factions aren't wiped, they'll stack and it'll get a little crazy. If winch access isn't wiped, people won't have any reason to complete the quest again, and as for quest items...do we need more black beads dropped around Yliakum?

 :offtopic: : we need a way to get rid of quest items - like.... I dunno.. get creative

Just figured I'd say that now since suno brought it up.


I don't think the point would be for people to redo the quests suno, I thought it was to fix the bind people got into?

I'm all for a quest wipe but if it doesn't include winch access it doesn't help me personally much. The only quests I would like to redo are the winch access quests since I got stuck doing the evil side with one of my lawful characters. The other side was bugged and couldn't be completed. I wouldn't care much aside from the fact that which side you use to get into the winch has a huge impact on which quests you can do inside the winch. I believe factions also play a role in quest availability so ideally this should be wiped as well.

So in short, yes on the quest wipe and make it a full wipe to solve all problems! Winch access and factions included if they play a role in the problems, which they most likely do.

Earl, we need to teach people not to loot what they don't need .. and last I checked there are NPCs that buy quest items.

....Oh... I didn't know that... err uhm, sorreh. X-/


And on a side note, I thought factions didn't play a role in what quests you could get yet?

I am willing to wipe them all, most of you who are in will get right back in the winch.

I would love a quest wipe. There are a few NPC's who didn't give me my quest prizes. Or wouldn't take the items I was told to get for them. Some of them won't even talk to me anymore about the quests I ask for.   :'(

   I gave up on questing due to conflicts which I found too frustrating to try and continue, so I'm all for it. \\o//

I am against any partial wipe. Wipe everything or don't bother.
That said I was bitten by buggy quests more than once and would benefit from a reset.
I voted no.

I would be for a quest wipe in the event that a full-wipe is deemed unnecessary at this time.  A clean slate for testers would be a good thing, especially of many of the quests have been fixed and/or changed.

I do not know what I am talking about BUT:

My thinking about this is that you cannot be certain what effect a partial wipe will have. It may well be that the compilers for the different operating systems choose different code optimizing paths which will cause different linkages between routines. I suppose this is not entirely relevant to the production server as it is only compiled for the laanx machine's OS but it is relevant to the clients that connect to it and to the test servers set up elsewhere. It would seem difficult to determine whether there is some overlooked bad data left in the database or if problems are caused by odd linkages in the various clients.

My concern can be visualized by taking the analogy of cancer surgery. If you do not cut it all out it could continue to grow. It may even be that excising the cancer leaves the system in a weakened state conducive to its return.
