Can we get a wipe?

Any chance there's a wipe coming soon? The server I'm on is dead and there's housing/land used everywhere and I never see people log in even. Guilds are gone etc.

Some players make a break and wait for the big content update that will come in autumn. I think they wouldn't be happy if all there stuff is gone only because they did a break.

Every months some plots get wiped but with very limited restrictions to not harm players who really played the game yet and only take a break.

Also, this game is an Alpha, not a full released MMO. If it would be a fully released MMO things would look a bit different, then so many players who stopped playing would be a big problem, but not yet. So simple answer is: you need to live with it as it is right now.

I think it's a double-edged sword, just another one of the areas they need to do a better job of communicating about.

I get that some people (myself included) will probably return with newer content. But the reality is that in the interim, they are also potentially driving new customers away.

At release I don't know what systems will be in play and theoretically they may have less problems with a transient population. But they need to figure out something for the duration of early access.

Don't get me wrong, I liked what I saw and had some fun. But that was with other people. I don't know if it would have the same appeal if I was just starting out now. Especially if I picked the 'wrong' server/starting zone.

I think Balmung is right - a wipe right now would probably do more harm than good.

A wipe should happen sooner, rather than later.
Just do a wipe of everything except skills and add character transfers.

You seem to imply that multiple wipes are not already a certainty in our future.

My mistake if that's not the case.
