Wipe y/n?

[verden]

The project is under development. Time hasn't been worked out or implemented yet as a game feature. Anything in game relating to time is simply a placeholder. Also, this thread was originally started in November of 2009 by Xillix. This discussion of a character wipe is over, this instance of the wipe already happened, and Xillix is no longer on the team. I don't expect any major database resets in the immediate future, though there still could be a few before version 1.0.

The link mentioned in my previous note seems very worked out; from a Settings point of view anyway.

That's good news.

*shrugs* to be honest I have to say if there going to wipe there should be a week long XP/increased training level event or something, just to get the game going again, I know stats aren't necessary. but they make the game more interesting if you want to duel ect. But 'eh, it doesn't really matter that much would just be a tad annoying.

Stats are necessary to my play (either having them or not having them) as my character is played according to the stats they have as opposed to some imaginary stats that its player may like them to be.

That said, the wipe is understandable from a development point of view yet will likely be a disaster from a player base point of view. My experience has been to see a lot of games die on the vine because of such developmental choices. It would be a shame to see the PS player base suffer more than it seems to have done over the last year or two because of such a developmental decision.

well yes, i am in the process of building my stats up to fit my RP, but the point more was, you can RP without stats (so long as your not trying to fight)

There have resets to all different sorts of values over the years, it has happened many times. Seems like there was a big one recently. Old thread. Gravedigging. Lock it already.

that's a good way to not have the game any more.

shorter days don't mean shorter years. just look at other planets. they may have 15 hour days and 600 day years. yliakum obviously isn't on earth, so i don't see why it should use our time.

The Game Time Announcement of the Settings Team has 1 Game Day equal exactly 1 Real Day. The clock in the Information window counts off 24 hours so it seems that 1 Game Hour is equal to 1 Real Hour. It certainly sounds like Sol 3 time to me.

Yet if one watches the Information clock with a Sol 3 watch in ones hand the time moves along in Game Time at approximately a 6:1 ratio. The system is seriously flawed.

i wouldn't trust anything i read on the official website

If this board had any responsible moderators, this topic would have been locked already - at least for "riding a dead horse". But obviously it doesn't matter how much some trolls abuse this forum as stage to express their egocentric attitudes. Board rules are not enforced anymore. And the Netiquette is part of most board rules, usually.

I'm just a lovable, whimsical Troll. Not the mean kind. Now lock this thread!

[Sillamon]

Wipe!
Wipe!
Wipe!

Awww. But it's so much fun!

Obviously™ everyone trolling here is just trying to get this thread locked since it got pushed by novacadian for no valid reason, in response to which a minor mass panic ensued. That, and busting rhymes.

[Geoni]

Even if they lock this thread something similar will come back up in the future, and yes, they'll more than likely be a thread about it.
