Boy this is going to be a bugger, whatever happens ... The simulated wipe is a good idea
to start, so lets all calm down till its done. Then maybe a non-used char wipe aswell, say
those not used in the last month. Most of the regulars here have used, or will use, or can
use all of their chars if asked. Those not around so much, but active, can be contacted
one way or another.
As a card carrying computer dummy, I can see all of the benefits gained by a full wipe,
we are one of the few servers, I believe, that don't do it. Though is there not a way of
taking one of our existing chars, making sure it has a Current 4.80 ship, swapping a few
neccessities onto it, then deleting all the rest of the accounts by ourselves.
So a check of char lists would show each account with just one ship on it. I'm sure I'll
be told why this is not a good idea ... But its the best compromise I could come up with,
for everyone who has invested time in creating and RPing chars, to be able to get back
on their way a little quicker.
Right ... Anthing else we can come up with to stem the inevitable move to cleanse us
completely. Its not so much the cash, though thats a complete bitch, Its the time invested
in getting the chars to where they are now. Reps, maps and the like.
My character Beretta, has almost all the map done, and is neutral to all, exept a little
political disagreement with the Bundschuh currently. His top two greens are the Outcasts
and the Corsairs, This char is invaluable as an explorer, and a supplier and runner
of all types of weapons to almost all factions. This is how it makes its cash.
This is my example of the one I have invested plenty of time into. This one is my flying
Datastorm ... Thought not used as much now ... This is the one I would hate to loose.
*Sobs into keyboard* ... Ok, Ok I know ... But hey, Worth a try.
