Wipe level

Losing shit matters and make the game better because of it.

This is actually the first game I've played that wipes data. I've never felt the need for it, and I still think it's unnecesary. Losing "shit" doesn't matter, it sort of ruins the fun. I don't exactly like not knowing when it's going to happen. It's like waiting for the rapture. It could happen 3 seconds from now. I think it's best to just leave it, and let players keep their hard earned crap. I can handle the loss, but it's easy to lose alot of sensitive players who can't. All the games I've played never had any wipings, and to tell you the truth it was just fine that way, as I have said.

Wipes are not part of the actual game, it is a betatest measure. In order for all features to be used to make sure they are betatested, everything must be wiped clean to give players a reason to do these things, this way they can report whether something is wrong, right, or somewhere inbetween, and if there needs to be changes in order to improve or scrap things.
It's called the Scientific method.

So once the full game is released, wipes are no more?

Which will never happen..... But IF this was the case, I believe so.

Of course the full game will be released. If it is never going to be released, why is it called Beta? If there will never be a full game, then this IS the full game, and not the beta, no?
