[Stinkum]

#1. Shit's so overfarmed that people are now selling 10-packs of Fungi Tunics.

One good reason to wipe it clean is to have a true classic server.
Wipe it back to classic, release Kunark 13 months later and Velious 9 months after.
Right now, whatever you do, the economy and population of the game is anything but classic.

When my butt gets shitty I wipe it. Why wouldn't we treat the server as well as we treat our butts?



Seriously though, this:

Is the most valid reason for a wipe and it's why I support the sentiment.

For all the talk of a "classic" experience being the ultimate goal there is nothing more non-classic than this timeline we're on. I'd also argue RMT would take a serious hit because the playing-field would be re-leveled and the lazy shitheads who currently buy plat and thus support the duping and RMT would have less of an impetus to do so. Sadly, nothing will totally eliminate that cheating, duping, RMTing element from this server, I'm afraid--because the lure of cash is greater motivation than anything those combating it can muster--but it could at least be made less tantalizing if players didn't feel so far behind.

And I'm a guy who's been here since Day One, I have hundreds of thousands of plat and I'm here for the nostalgic journey--not the wanton accumulation of pixels. Personally, I don't think I'll play here again till there's either a wipe or a fresh server running alongside this tumor-ravaged Original P99.

My favorite part of these threads is when the "wipe it clean" crowd explains how wiping it clean will get rid of the RMT and duping crowd.
