December Patch Warnings

[Claeyt]

U will find it easier to new players to play if its wiped. . Yes they should know they are beta TESTERS! belive me or not it will be harder to get new players in to the game without a wipe

Why would I want players who are more akin to moths than actual legitimate gamers.

I think you misunderstand our desire to have 'new gamers' over our loyalty to the existing player base.

When you were chief peepookaka you hated that wipe

Honestly, I think the wipe was the final straw from Jorb and Loftar that made him buy the game.

I look forward to seeing what you all have planned for us the festive month, and I will keep a torch in hand to fend off the Dark.

What will witches hold in their hand the christmas after next, I wonder ... perhaps a monster heart to fend off the light?

Ah no, they will all be playing hafen.

How often should the wipes be done to maintain the maximum influx of new players?

They would be done when the game is set to go live and they are going to market it to new players

*Old Legacy flags (the ones that push your claim like borderstones) for towns will drain significantly more silver after the patch. Players have had enough time to replace them with borderstones by now. If they havn't done so yet, they should make it a priority.

what about old borderstones? Why can't you just turn the flags into borderstones?

[JohnCarver]

Old border stones are fine.

This game isn't like most beta games that practically need a wipe because beta testers have become too powerful, leaving no room for new players to compete. This game is in a constant state of flux; top players can be perma-killed, all their high purity and end-game stuff stolen or destroyed. There is no permanent throne in Salem for the kings. New players can keep their heads down long enough or join factions to avoid all the conflict and get to a point where they can compete with the current top players.

Well, I would kinda disagree. I think it was pretty apparent that each of the 3 servers had it's dominant forces that would have been incredibly difficult to oust. Not impossible, but very tough. I don't think anyone stood much of a chance against the tribe..
