This is different. The server is so full and so laggy these days that setting up new characters becomes an annoying chore, mostly due to laggy NPCs and the need for tons of missions for matching IFF and ID - something which was not required in 4.7*.

True that. You know why ? Because 2 weeks after the release of 4.86, the BHG Conspiracy will take over full control, and the server will revert back to 4.84, so the Hunters can get their revenge on everybody. And it is all your fault anyways.
Meh. Speaking from experience,character wipes should only be used in *EXTREME* cases. Nothing more nothing less.
I can certainly understand the concept, but if you do a player wipe, faction wipes would generally come with it (which is what we did last time, i believe.. cleaned out all the old, stagnant factions, and left only the primary factions and their systems in place)

It is an interesting idea but not many will support this and that includes me.:P
Ships,money,equipment,info etc. on your character all matter even if they are not real and only virtual.
5.0 is not going to come anyway,at the rate at which a new Discovery mod is released now 5.0 is most likely going to come after 2020. I don' think anybody here would be left then or for that matter there would be even a server.

Another thing is the interaction...I can go probably 8 systems without ever seeing someone. I remember playing Discovery back in 2005-06 and no matter where you went, there was someone the same level as you wanting to team up in missions with very sexy RP. That's the number one thing I miss.
I guess that you don't have billions credits and hours worth of characters to lose?

no he dont..... and if this "ant" makes me lose all that mapping, npcs killing, weapons and armours, NOT to mention ships... ima rip him in half and eat the lower half while he whatches

Weeks of playtime for me. Lots of nights I couldnt sleeep. Parental threats. Possible breakups with girls. Missing sunlight.
hell no.
I think it's maybe time some people stepped back and think about their priorities again... loosing sleep, getting into arguments with parents or break-ups due to a game? I don't know... That's just a bit... bad :|
Personally, i don't really care, i just play this for fun, i can die, it's hardly my life, it's just a fun diversion to play once in a while, if a player wipe happens, hey, i guess i'll just have to re-set everything up? Besides, i dont see why people think SRP's would be lost, and the admins would probably give some incentives, maybe even auto-grant all SRP ships back.
I dont know, i just dont find a player wipe that massive of a deal, it's just a game, hey, play it for fun, not for the stats(if you can only have fun with a lot of money... well, thats just how it is i suppose).
