GuildWars Character Wipe

[DeletedUser]

Because of the GW forums being down at this point in time I am posting this here, would like to see how many agree/disagree to a character wipe March 15th (includes guilds,cities,etc.)

[volcom]

i disagree. Just because it took so long to level. volcom = Gaan.

[Farrenz]

is there any purpose?

[DeletedUser]

Now that the majority of exploits/bugs have been fixed... take it from there

[mrjag2]

bah i cant wait to try out GW sounds like a ton of fun
i play on a teams pvp server on live thats went astray and really isnt teams anymore but guild vs guild

[SamTheMan67]

Nooo , A lot of us have put in hard time on pkp and deleting it would suck
vote : no

[Erratic_Knight]

i vote yes, becasue it doens't take long at all to lvl and pvp in GW has become repediative. If the forums were up i would post my server suggestions that i think would help alot, but they are down for the moment so i guess i'll wait to post em.

[ragnarok22]

yes.

[Stabbe]

Yes, just because of how fun and challenging PvP is when you DON'T have all the uber gear, and working to attain that gear is that much more fun!

[Belian1]

Yes, but wait until "the majority" has actually been fixed. With 15 buffing, no resists, bugged hastes, chain LDS, it still has a bit of a ways to go, before you should take it out of Beta.

[Erratic_Knight]

remeber the ld's and lag get fixed on the 15th when image retunrs home and replaces the router.

and there is approximately a month between now and then, i see no reson to wait later than the 15th to wipe.

Myself and my friends have been playing a lot to get where we are. I don't think I would want to go through the whole process again. Not that it is hard, but I just don't feel like it.

If there is a character wipe, the population will drop drastically. There will be hardly anyone to pvp and the servers that the people who played bought will not have any use anymore...

[Azrail]

I donated so I feel that I have at least a small say in things, so here it goes. These are the reasons why it is a bad idea. The people saying Yes or No should have to post a comment with there char name.

Cons:

1. Server will drop in population and there will be no one to pk.

2. Unfair to people with greater play times that have invested there time away from other things to have there character thrown away.

3. Unfair to people who have been on this server for along time. If you played on live classic like I have before any expansions guise and rubicite where a big deal. Since others started earlier than I have and gotten those items before they where taken out of game you didn't see me complain.

Pros:

1. None

If you think about it what good could possibly come from this?
I feel that the idea of this is to destroy the uber guilds of the server, They will still have the majority of people who play the longest and devote the most time. It will take two weeks before everything is back where it is now. Bugs/exploits will always exist a full payed team of live tech's still can't find everything. So another bug/exploit is found then what? another char wipe? what after another char wipe?

I play a warrior resists don't work but I still pk. It is unfair to pure melee class's that they do not work. I have been robbed of a few pk points, so what.

Sugestion:

If uber guilds controling the server is the problem and taking away fun from others. I would say start a thread with your name class playtime and so one even if in a guild so people who are non bot/twink with good play times can put together a tougher guild.
There will always be an uber guild controling the server that is how it exists everywhere. But this is how guildwars is structured if you think about it seeing it is GUILDwars. The players who do devote a fair ammount of time need to all get together and start a guild. Or just make like 3 to 4 guild on server as a whole (i def think a bad idea but just throwing out ideas).

Final thoughts:

A character wipe will destroy the server. People are saying that our votes do not matter and it is already decided so. I say prove them wrong and do not let this happen, there is no reason. What would be the point? for a few items? everyone will throw away there points? If it is does happen count me out of it, I did my work legitly and I don't want to see it wasted. Everyone had the chance to START AT THE SAME TIME, everyone had the chance TO PLAY THE FIRST DAY. Why punish those who have been waiting so many months to play and started around the first day???????

I vote NO

I have to agree with Kains post, a character whip benefits noone.
Alot of people have invested alot of time into the server etc, If anything a character whip will only hurt the server, cause most of the population wont be rebuilding.

I have my doubts that 68 different people actually came to this thread.
