• • It will be a wipe?

  • On a similar thread on the official Ryzom forums, 9 have voted for a wipe, and like 76 have voted against. The voters being avid Ryzom players. Long time customers, and so on...

    FYI...

    The Saga of Ryzom
• • It will be a wipe?

  • I've read through this whole thread. I cannot find anyone in particular that I would like to quote and respond to, so I'll just say what I have to say.

    I'm against a wipe. If a wipe were absolutely necessary, I would deal with it and try to replay (quitting soon afterwords).

    I worked very hard to get into the veteran category. I'm not "elder of Atys," but I came in soon afterwords.

    I have a few 250 skills (and many more lower skills). But, I know it took me 2 1/2-3 years to get just a few 250s, and with loads of help. Those skills were gotten while I was in high school, with no social life and no job, and they still took me that long to get.

    If there was a wipe, I would never be able to consider myself "leet" again. Knowledgeable, yes. But I would never be able to back up my knowledge, because I don't have the RL time to get multiple 250s in a few months. I couldn't do it the first time in a few months.

    But, gaining my levels back would be the worst of my problems if I had to deal with a wipe. My main character (Keiko) is like a piece of my soul. If she was to be destroyed, I would feel as if I had lost a piece of myself. (kind of like a really really really bad break up with someone you really really really love)

    Keiko and I have been through so much together. There is no way I can just recreate that by starting a new character. I've tried it with new avatars on Ryzom (I made a new avatar on the Cho server, and...meh), and I've even tried to build a character on new games, which results in an epic fail on my part (yes, i wanted to use epic fail in a sentance).

    So, in conclusion, I'm against a wipe. I'll try to play if there is a wipe, but like with every other game, I doubt I'll be able to stay long due to a lack of my soul.

    --------------------

    In response to the wipe gathering new players. I dont see it being very beneficial to anyone. Like many have mentioned, older players will just power level (IF they have the RL time) with their knowledge of the game, guilds will be rebuilt, along with alliances (see Kami/Kara Alliance) especially if outposts are still in play, and all will fall back into the same way of life...just without the "veterans" character back stories.

    There needs to be content, advertisement, and a rework of the missions/quests (to begin with) to attract and keep new players, not a wipe. Mostly the advertisement and mission/quest rework for new players. Content for older players, and later new players (who will in turn become old players..with more content).

    Of course, if the content isn't added (after the missions and ads), then the player base will falter, and Ryzom will be auctioned off again!

    Yay for vicious circles!
