corpsestomp Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I couldn't care either way...all my characters have been deleted recently. Though I do like the idea of all the people to rank with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinicky Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 The idea of a delete is a good one, I think. I just think the announcement, if it is real, ruins gameplay, at least for me. I appreciate the attempt made by the staff to be respectful of th eplayer base, but it might have been better played out to have an armeggedon RP plot, and announce the wipe maybe a few days before the actual wipe. This allows the RP Plot to have a less predictable ending, establishes an RP motive for the wipe, and does not take away time for new characters. At this point, were I to decide to roll up a new char, it woul dbe pointless. By the time I get the training done to have everything mastered that I need before my final push to 50, my char will be deleted and the training woul dbe pointless. And that ruins gameplay for me. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsestomp Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Same. There's really no point in investing any time into a character, and I can see a lot of trash popping up, because they'll only be around for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Eh. The PWipe in 1.0 was inevitable. Maybe not announced, but predictable. It's been what? Just around 5-6 years since the last one? It's far overdue. RP and such was falling the last time I was actively playing, hence the reason I stopped playing. Cheating was way out of hand too, to top it off, I just needed a break. And 2 weeks would be perfect for me, I'm going to have 2 months of free time coming up shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Twendrist Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well, it's past midnight where I am. I guess it's time to wait for a member of the staff to tell us whats really up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random_clown Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 First off, its a very predictable april fool's joke. But second, it would solve none of the problems listed as reasons. If it did address these problems, of which there are more to be said, then accompanied with a pwipe would be a landslide of changes. Enough changes to be incompatible with the current player. While I know this is all in jest, if a pwipe was decided these factors would inevitably have to accompany it. That being the case, I would be a supporter of that movement. Many of my concerns would be alleviated as active changes flood in. The loss of characters is a minor factor. Character loss without fundamental changes to game mechanics is simply treading water. The same problems will be there from 1-50, and become as common as they were before hand within a few weeks. I would support a future pwipe not for the characters lost, but for the changes it brings. What is it called when you wish an April fool's joke was true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephirus Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well, I suppose if it is going to happen, when will you guys let us know about the changes you guys are planning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 giving notice of a pwipe, especially notice as lengthy as 2 weeks, is self destructive....because you might as well have 2 weeks of server down time. if they were going to pwipe, they would. notice ..pwipe tonight at midnight...

Kinicky Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 so it is almost noon here on the day AFTER April first... can we get a response? How viable is this pwipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tassinvegeta Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah I hope that if this is a joke its announced soon, for concern of all the qraces/qclass, those wanting to get into cabals, and those deciding whether to go all crazy and kill all their allied cabal members and friends or not, since in two weeks they won't even be around anymore.

Dead Voodoo Doll Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 People, people, people. This game is what YOU make of it. If I were immortal, I'd be less than pleased with the responses in this post. Show some care and consideration for your characters. Have you no value of yourself? Have you no value of the hours of your life that you spend on this game? When time means something to you, maybe you'll finally understand. Until then, don't encourage the ruination of something others have put at a premium. I do not see need for widespread change. What I do see is a) people who don't value their time, people who have too much time, and c) people who are too lazy to attempt to change things they don't like or agree with while IC and so, like the history of FL, expect the Imps to come behind them and wipe their ***.

Kinicky Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Stickied. To any in doubt, wait until tomorrow and confirmation will be given then. Was the whole 'confirmation being given tomorrow' the April Fool's part, b/c I am still waiting for confirmation one way or another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 If this is real, what are some of the planned changes? Are blm's and rangers gonna get toned down?!?

Fiere Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'll believe it when it happens, and until then I'll just play like I normally do. I mean, let's face it, 90 percent of my time is spent training or ranking anyway, a pwipe wouldn't change that. Heck, it might even break my vicious cycle, and I could actually play a fifty for a while before starting another lowbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raargant Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 As I mentioned to Iru just the other day, On April 1st, GWB could announce the invasion of Iraq, and the response would be, "Yeah, and we found the WMD's."

Behrens Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Two rules: 1. If Iru doesn't say pwipe, it isn't real. 2. If it is April 1st, it isn't real. I've worked hard to disguise and gradualize changes so that you can keep the same characters running over long periods of time. You think I'd let all that work go to waste?
