Your argument is ass backwards. Anyone who thinks wiping the server will give a chance for new players to catch up is a fool who believes knowledge of game systems does not mean an advantage. Not wiping the server is a reminder of just how harsh the game can be when someone pushes your **** in, forcing you to either give up or fight if you want to get any of it back because there is not going to be a wipe to take your stuff away from the people that mopped the floor with your ass. They get to keep "your" stuff until someone else takes it from them or you manage to get it back. The only "now no one gets it" is the spite behind the act of throwing it on the ground or in a river. It's permanent until you do something about it, and the devs certainly aren't going to give you any "if I can't have it, no one can" satisfaction by erasing all of it. Without wiping the server, you know that the stuff you worked hard for is still out there in someones possession but all you know is that you don't have it. The desire to have it back, a driving force. Permanent or temporary makes no difference when it comes to the characters either, they are just as dead when someone stomps it's face out through the back of it's skull.
