You probably get dedicated servers when the time comes and people can decide their own wipe times. 1 week of gameplay keeps it intresting for the PVP servers but i have no clue why the would do it for the pve servers.

A LOT of people just dont have enough time to play a game in a few weeks.
Living and working to keep the power on so they can play games takes time...

There are no dedicated servers, unfortunately. No private server options. No type of server that does not get wiped.

This is accurate. Wipes exist for one reason: because it's easier for the developer. The reason developers embrace a seasonal model is because it places more burden on the player and less on the developer. They can create less and have you, the player, just restart a character over and over and over again and call it content.

The "everyone is on equal footing" argument they've cited a few times is hogwash because they also try to convince you that wipes don't matter because you're allowed to keep parts of your progression. So clearly everyone is *not* on equal footing.

This is what stop me from buying any of those pretty furniture bundles from the shop.

PVE players happily built a house not to get bulldozed every few weeks. Pls spare casual players from all the unnecessary mess man. Many of us just wanna chill and enjoy a game.

yup it is to keep pvp players running on the wheel and biting each other like hamsters. But for pve players man, we at most play 2 seasons then byeee if they insist to keep seasonal wipe for everyone.

yup and most of the potential buyers who will spend on the cosmetics are who? are us PVE players who go fishing and building and rolling on ground! We buy cute hats & outfit to go fishing and buy furniture for our house. They really think a pvp player who live in a hut busy killing each other will buy furniture bundles??

Even if they do, catering for pve players with an eternal server bring them no harm. There are so many pve players and the dev is neglecting a huge market if they insist to have the rat race style only server.

I mean that's generous for some online gamers.

For the record, I wipe twice a day.

i might be ok with loot wipe but please don't make me play this campaign through from level 1 every time ,_,

[Maelphaedor]

All a wipe will ensure I do is enjoy their free game till the 1st one happens while buying nothing and then never come back. Don't get me wrong, I like the game and enjoyed it during the open beta, but seriously, first wipe and I'm out.

I think each season has a new "story line" kinda thing.
So every season is kinda like a new game within the same game. Means story lines will be fairly short each season though
