PWIPE - Two weeks notice


Malchaeius

Recommended Posts

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 :D

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 :D

Remember, the glass can be either half full, or half empty. Your choice how to view things, guys.

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.

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.

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' date=' we'll all have an even playing field. Maybe I'll peak a character someday, who knows?[/quote']

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.

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.

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?

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.

Oh, no no. I didn't mean my previous post as a complaint. I'm rather excited about the idea, and I'm looking forward to it is all.

I'll take that bet.

Five bucks says it's not. You can send it to my PayPal account tomorrow, when the IMMs fess up.;)

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!"
