Server Wipe
 

Has anyone ever heard a DEV talking about a "server wipe"? Or is this just player fantasy and speculation?

Just asking...

Not for blue. Not on nilbog's watch.

You mean like with a cloth?

something invented by the plague that is the red community

u dont know meth til u know red

Only in the fantasy of some people who want a new server and think that they will wipe Red because of the low population, and want something else (Red restart, Discord, Green, or whatever rule set is your fantasy setup).

A wipe won't do a damned thing. It's nothing but fantasy. People want items that aren't around anymore (manastones etc), and a fair chance to get them. The problem is, this server was anything but classic in terms of people back when it launched. Even with a max pop of 100 people (maybe 200?), every important camp was camped. Players just know everything about the game.

I remember the headache this server was when it launched with camps. And that was with 100 or so players at a time. Let's make that a thousand or so, in classic with everyone knowing what they need to hit to be "special" with items that will get removed/nerfed. It would be a giant cluster fuck.

I'm sorry that people weren't part of this server during classic launch. But it is what it is. The end game raiders now, if the server wiped, would still race to the end and dominate. The "lucrative" camps would be perma-camped 24/7. At least when the server had a low pop. people not completely "in the loop" still had a chance. Hell the only reason I have a pre-nerf guise is because I was "kinda" in the loop but not completely. It was a different time. Wiping the server and starting it from pure classic now would just be a mess.

Love the server for what it is. If you weren't part of it back in 2009, I'm sorry. But a wipe would be a even bigger headache than what this server is today.

Sounds like it is, and has always been, player made BS story. Created by those who cannot get items that have been removed, or now cost too much due to the mountains of plat that exist on each server.

Thought so. Just seemed like a foolish idea to wipe peoples 7 year investment into whichever server is their choice. I also don't see the population to create another new server.

my 2 cents.

Server wipe red maybe, no one plays there, it needs fresh blood

If a server wipe and reset happened everyone would just be rushing to camp a manastone. Then once kunark came out it would be a rush for lockets of escaping and binding in firepots.
