The problem is that even if you do wipe the server many of these players and guilds would be ahead of you immediately anyway........ Powerlevelers know every trick in the book for making money and for maxxing their skills quickly.......Like many of us have said, unless you are one of the hardcore, powerleveler type you wont be able to compete in a game like this.......The good ones know every cheat, mod, macro, script, etc that will give them an edge over the average player.........Factor in that often there guilds have alot of players who are also involved and this means you have little or no chance against them......

Besides, i dont want to remake my character seeing as i already have nearly 30 lesser magic and 35 swimming and a couple of skills now in the 20's.
 

 

They could only wipe items/cities, as others have suggested

I wouldn't mind a gold/item wipe.  The best thing about Darkfall is its easier (and more fun) to reacquire money and items that it is in most games.  The game is about pvp, not spending days farming some rare spawn to obtain a decent robe that gives you a huge advantage over everyone else.
 

I would be very annoyed if they wiped abilities though.  I spent all day (a day off from work) getting magic, gathering and professions skilled while the sync issues were too bad to fight with.

You all need to slow down and think about this rationally.

Bugs, exploits, poor AI, or not, the same guilds would be claiming the city locations in the same order.  Even if the game was flawless with no exploits, LoD would be the first guild to claim a city because they are the largest zerg, most beta experienced, and tightest run.  The second guild would still be the second to claim, the third, and so on.

Yeah, the process would have taken maybe 2 or 3 days longer, but that is it.

The smaller guilds or people who didn't get to play in beta are still at a significant disadvantage and won't even know HOW to claim a city for a couple weeks.

You really think that without these exploits, you would have gotten to claim that best city spot before LoD or whatever other big guild did?  No.

All that happened was things were fast forwarded a couple of days.  I didn't play in beta either and I'm not part of the lucky elite, but I realize it isn't that big of a deal.  I'd rather keep my 30 Lesser Magic than see that these guilds have to wait another 2 days for their city.

A 3 man city claimed a city! OK good for them you think they will get to keep it? Just raid their city ffs and claim it your own...

Dont bash me for keeping it real but the big zerg guilds would have gotten the cities one way or the other sooner that the rest and if they didnt they can always just attack one claimed by another small exploiting clan...

Sooner or later this situation will be rectified with ingame mechanics.... Its just saves me the effort of having to build a city and ill just take over one

The world need reset....

A lot of exploits took place. Especially Orcs took huge advantage from the rest of us.

Humans was in the worst fate.

When me and my clan gother enough gold and items to create and run the clan (before any other clan take place) we move torwards the human area to deposit the gold and items... then a paradox happens... a black hole... we crushed and be unable to relog into characters.... we forced to reroll characters because no one shows to know when they will fix the issue......

After that every minite passing was worst and worst with the sychron issue, U where unable to kill a mob simple because u couldnt even see it... Ghost mobs hits u over the place...

Come on be serius and Reset World.

If you're bitching about losing your "l33t character with 15 strength +1 sword and 30 magicz OMGZ" please shove it up your ass. You're losing hardly anything and can easily get it back.

Whipe?? i have to remake my character everytime i relog or ctd.. how is that for whipe..

(This was 2 hrs after i found out that reinstalling and redownloading all the updates didn't help)

I wonder if that was the city on Ebay last night.  Someone bought it with 'buy it now' for $399...

If they're fast and able to keep doing it, I bet they can get another city and/or hamlet fairly easily.

I agree with most of what you just said.. even though you just called us a zerg lol. We are a lot smaller than most guilds. I think we had maybe 2 groups max of people able to log in on that first day.

The beta guilds will have the advantage because of known mob locations, chests, dungeons, city locations, etc...

I just hope they can get this thing running smoothly here in the next few days.

Instead of a server wipe, i'd prefer to start on a new server.

Wipe won't help, after restart same clans will go exploit same bugged mob spawns. Ave missed at least a few.

I dont know about you guys, but when i asked my race alliance wether or not they wanted a wipe, 90 percent were all for it. 

Aventurine didnt listen to beta testers so what makes you think they'll listen to you or this silly poll?

Yeah. Full loot really helps those macros eh? Players skill and gear are WAYYYY more important than stats. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more important. Your predictions are quite laughable.

It's not a prediction its happening now macro or 'loose' its really simple.

I'd say forget a wipe and if people are exploiting then they should ban them.  Shouldn't punish people cause some decide to exploit the game.

I could care less whether or not they wipe the server.  This is basically just a open beta that you have to pay to play.

Once (if) adventurine gets their shit together I'll start caring about shit like this.

Until then keep calm and carry on: http://evilbastages.blogspot.com/2009/02/breaking-news-darkfall-launch-still.html

Maybe. But now they plenty people riled up and rdy to noob rush them, so it's good for pvp.

The main reason I want a server wipe is the fact that a significant amount of human players spent the entire server up time having to recreate characters due to the game crashing and looking that charcter out of the world.

I think we have a poll of those who got in game and don't want a wipe and those who didn't get in game and do want a wipe. I didn't get in game, and surprise surprise, I'd like it wiped. I'd hardly call doing what you've got to do in a buggy environment and with fewer people than expected to be an exploit.

I guess really the only option at this point is to leave the server how it is and if you don't like it you can take your carebear crybaby pussy ass back to Hello Kitty Online Adventures.

Edit:

There will always be people who want the server to be wiped, it is becaues they are not the person who is ahead of everyone else.

I belive all the people who couldnt get in or pre order deserve to have the servers wiped hell some clans already got a city with that unfair headstart

for the sake of an even playing feild it demands a wipe so everyone has a chance to get their fair shot at clanstones and player cities

so personally i belive a wipe is needed imho

Deal with it, shit happens.

How it is not unfair:

The people who got pre-orders waiting online frantically F5ing till they got one.  You went to sleep and didn't.  Dedication = Reward. Risk = Reward.  If they wipe it because you didn't get a pre-order, why not just wipe it every time a new player buys a copy of the game, just to keep it fair.

EDIT: If you did stay up and your order was corrupt. lrn2enteryourCCinformationcorrectly

it doesnt come down to entering your info correctly with all the pre orders man

the game wasnt even up more then 24 hours total for petes sake its not some horrid thing to redo

After an open beta the server gets wiped, since this is like an open beta, the servers should get wiped.  But will they? I doubt it, besides after reading that IRC chat with brannoc they deny any exploits basicly.  Taking the easy way out as always, what a shocker!
