Raargant Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 lol, see, Malch? He was trying to be nice/honest. My idea was to just do the wipe, then claim we had a 'database crash' and lost the pfiles In all seriousness though, I agree with Mudder. Pbase is getting a bit stale, why not freshen things up again? Think of it this way. At least we get to experience some awesome armageddon RP Remember, the glass can be either half full, or half empty. Your choice how to view things, guys.

Chromatic Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 You guys tricked someone into deleting, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 The armageddon RP really is always the best... And the chars will likely get some awesome things. Custom title, EQ, special skills/spells added. Why not? They won't last long anyway. I'd have fun with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 That would be awesome. Then I might be able to get the set I want once we start since there won't be a hundred shelved chars out there hoarding eq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raargant Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 For those of you who were around or who heard the stories, come on! Theran Wind? Dreadlords? People getting special skills and titles to kill each other with? Psych yourselves up, guys. It'll be fun! Promise. Trust us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malchaeius Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Maybe you were right Raargant. Maybe we should have just done it. Yet when the last administration just did a pwipe without announcing it, the entire playerbase rose up and complained that they didnt even see it coming and that they were not given a notice. Now that they have notice, they are still complaining. This is a lose-lose situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtsoShex Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I actually like the idea of a Pwipe. Maybe with all these pinnacled 50's starting from the ground up just like Dey and I, we'll all have an even playing field. Maybe I'll peak a character someday, who knows?

CruelEdict Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I actually think the opposite would happen. The best players would be 50 in a day or two and be decked in the best eq since it would all be in. Heh. Pwipe or not, I wouldn't care. A fresh start means new RP angles and whatnot.

random_clown Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Make it a slower, more plodding destruction. Replace monthy rare purge with character deletion. Be active or die, simple. Edit: Actually, the more I think about this, the more I like it. If you aren't active, perhaps not so drastic as deletion, but have it knock levels / skill percentage off your character, etc. Haven't maintained your skills and experience (hours per month)? Well then, I think those have degraded a bit over time. You're not an elephant, after all. There are all sorts of wonderful ways to guide people into playing active characters rather than 5 inactive ones. Even though the pwipe is certainly a joke, it does no harm to think of ways to alter game mechanics to create a more live environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malanith Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I cannot believe people are complaining about being given a 'notice'. Would you rather just get hit with a 'World Shift Imminent!', a disconnect and a 'That character doesn't seem to exist' message? Come on, we were actually trying to be nice here. Just goes to show no one is ever happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruelEdict Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 It would hold more water if it wasn't April 1st. Had it come any other time...well, you would most likely get even more complaints. Perhaps we should start a betting pool on if this is real or not? $5 says it is real. Any takers? I cannot believe people are complaining about being given a 'notice'.

Just goes to show no one is ever happy. Trying, but failed. How would you like it if you had a char who was ranking and you were told that the next 2 weeks of work you did would be for nothing. How about you are at 50 trying to get into a cabal, how would you like it if you were inducted only to know you had two weeks and you had to start all over. 2 Day notice, with one big *** rp session which involvs advself to 50 and have a battle royale. Sound good guys, like a halloween madness so we all get to have that last bit of rp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Twendrist Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Haha, what if its like.... Staff: "April Fools guys!" Pbase: "Haha, we knew it wasn't real!" Staff: "Well, sort of." Pbase: "What?" Staff: "Well, it is going to happen, just not in two weeks." Pbase: "..." Staff: "You have two days." Pbase: "..." Staff: "Well, happy April Fools!"

Grishnak Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I remember the pwipe from 1.0 to 2.0. Even most of the immstaff didn't know it was coming! I logged on one morning to see that all my chars, my immortal included, were gone. Talk about a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
