TEH WIPE IS SOON!
ThePhoenix77:
To be honest I am sick of hearing this wipe is soon bull, for the past 6 months since I started, my experience has been dampened by all this wipe is soon nonsense.
If the date of wipe is unknown I would rather not know so that I can enjoy the game without thinking; what's the point - wipe is soon, not really any point of bothering/putting any effort in as server could be wiped next week.
Soon is not 6 months (if I told my dog 6 months ago that I would feed her soon would she still be here?), if I had known that server wasn't going to be wiped by now then my friends and myself would still be playing a lot more, as it is my friends have stopped playing and I'm now in the mindset of giving up until after wipe.
I should still be enjoying this game to it's full potential instead of giving up.
If you can say wipe is in 4 weeks for definite then fair enough but I'm sick of the word soon.
I like hearing about what's going on behind the scenes and how stuff is developing but I want to be able to enjoy the game without that dark cloud of wipe is soon hanging over my head all the time.
This is a great game, I just want to enjoy it. :)

No doubt just about every 2238 player feels the same. Including myself.
Eraus:
Totally agree with ThePhoenix77. And someone said that after wipe no matter what will be players, agree too, but not as much that it could be.
Grimno:
Agreed.
I just recently started playing and got real excited by the prospect of a Fallout MMO
(Which does raise the question. Now that the massive legal battle is over with Fallout and an actual Fallout MMO can be made now... what does that mean for FOnline 2238?)
but when I heard there was a wipe "soon" I said "... no point trying to become awesome now if everything's gonna vanish. Probably should just wait for the wipe to occur.."
JovankaB:
Most wipe bull*** comes from players, it's not the fault of the staff that players spread rumors.
Maybe once or twice in 2 years a dev made a mistake and gave some vague date like "if everything goes
well it should be in a month, but maybe not". Can you blame them if people ask this shit every day?
Personally I think we make a mistake everytime we say "soon" (although I don't know if GMs still do this,
I believe now it's mainly players who keep repeating this, it really is a self-perpetuating machine from hell).
It may seem funny and normal people know it's just a trollish answer to annoying question, but some people
actually think it means "this week" and start spreading never-ending rumors about wipe and new players
believe them.
For me wipe date doesn't matter, but new (and not only new) players tend to farm and hoard ("just wait
until I get stronger, I will pay you back!!!", "HAHA I have a stack of 100 dynamites! Soon I will have 200
and THEN I will show them", "I don't feel safe without at least 100 BAs, how could I fight tomorrow? :S").
Maybe they should change their approach, but I doubt it's possible.
Maybe this word "soon" should be banned, it's not even funny anymore and it only makes people
upset over time. PLEASE, just answer: "don't know / there is no wipe date" or answer nothing and
don't use word "soon". I'm asking players, gms and devs.
