So the question on everyones mind is 'at full release will their be a server wipe'.. I know there was at least 50 of us talking about it on global this weekend, opinion seemed split, with 70% salty for not server wipe and 30% approx said yes.. so lets have a vote. Makes sense to wipe it at 1.0 release
Server Wipe at full release
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROS ~
- New players joining at release are not disadvantaged
- Where exploits were previously possible in early access and no PVP / Risk, now the progress will not give unfair advantage over new players who have realistic risk / gameplay from day 1
- Give new players a chance (maybe reward old accounts with special items / horse)
- No advanced clans, no diplomacy, no heiracrhy from day1
CONS ~
- Threatening to Boycott / lose patreons
- Experience / gear lost for veterans
- Veterans quit
- Veterans return after 15 days of withdrawal symptoms
