Half wipe

(1/5) > >>

T-888:
The recent loss of MAmk2 and lsw reminded me of an feature used in other MMO - half wipe.

My suggestion is to half wipe the server , delete all items , it means everything except collector items , delete all bank accounts from the broken bank system ,  all characters stay , bases , tents etc. etc. but you could reset the base system and delete tents too if devs wish too for some reason.

This idea is from a game called ultima online a particular server that used this kinda of feature and it had full wipes and half wipes. The server had the same problems as we do have in fonline , people hoard ridiculous amounts of stuff so that " economy " seizes to exist , people don't interact much because everyone have shitloads of stuff anyway(for example mining places pretty much empty) , only rare items being the main thing to sell/buy as we do in fonline right now and more things , as people have everything it's really hard to see new economy changes kick in for example vendor prices , item amount sold etc. etc. or now the new crafting changes. btw people there played with multiple characters too and dual , multi log wasn't prohibited.

I just can't explain every single detail what this feature can bring , but it's good :) back then it was like a birthday for everyone the server just lit up and server population raised.

I don't expect to people recognize this feature as something " whoooah cool , i want this " , because this is something new and should be discussed.

avv:
Wiping won't increase interaction. Need something? Get it yourself, alts make it possible.

Players get items so that they can do something with them. They hoard items so that they can come back with new set if they die. You won't have good pvp if your enemies run out of gear all the time. If you think people will fight more furiously because they "must win" they won't. They just spend more time farming, use crappier gear and silly bluesuit strategies or go completely underground.

Right, people won't fight for items, no sir.

Half wipe doesn't sound that bad, at least if there's lot of people waiting for it, no matter what chages it will (or not) bring. Hoarding stuff can be goal for itself, I mean almost none of NCR vultures ever use crap they grabbed/stolen/taken anyway. Wiping stuff and bases with characters remaining was never tested here before, so why not.

And what about characters level? Wipe them too or leave at 21th?

OskaRus:
OMG guys. Wipe is not for wipe. Wipe is to allow mayor game changes to be introduced. The fact that fonline have no economy at all should not be fixed by wipe itself.

RavenousRat:
To not bother devs, bring me to your base, I'll science all items for you, as for ammo, don't know, give it to me, I'll sell it to doctor for rep. Then I'll repeat it with all bases and lvl my new troll alt to 21st lvl by dismantling items.
Then what will be changed? Nothing, except for everyone will need some more time to get all those items... again...
So what's the point of that suggestion?
