Already answered in IRC. And the cash idea was discussed to death iirc. Well, i guess we are in for another round in 3... 2... 1...
Forgive me all mighty one for not logging on regularly over the past 5 yearsQuote:

Pick a double xp weekend and you can woc a spy in a weekend easily, or get a PE nearabouts.
Mrs Britney, being sarcastic?
I personally do not think it would break the game to leave double XP in for good up to 95 in main skill or something.
The only people that dont want this are old dogs that don't want to see new people in the game.
I understand that WOW etc turned us all into cookie cutters but for a 2014 game its on the edge of Korea grinding old school to have to kill one billion mobs...
I second this. What is even the point of long grinds anymore?Quote:

Grim it only takes 24-30 hours ingame to woc every character except a pe, so just get back in the game, a double xp would probably get ya faster to cap, but without equip it would trash anyway.
Yeah, that doesn't seem like that long when you put it that way... but I had 12 capped characters, and half of them had at least WoC 1. I don't have as much time to play as I did when I was younger, so it just feels like all of my time is going into grinding instead of actually having fun.Quote:

Titan was made available as an entirely fresh server for a number of reasons.

While the old servers were still chugging along, they were doing so just under their own weight. From the game play side of things it was also a necessary evil, a lot of illicit activities had gone on creating an incredibly unfair environment for our returning players and new players. Improving all the systems which combat those illicit activities, patching out weaknesses which allowed them and "removing the rot" in the old database was the best way to go.
The stable data from Mars, Mercury and Terra is all securely backed up.
If you don't have so much time for playing, you wont need all your chars anyway, no? Start with one and just have fun?!Quote:

So, four (mostly) capped characters are the bare minimum for me. Also, even if I did have someone else to do it then I have to use time farmed for money to tip the other player; sure no big deal but again, more time wasted.Quote:

It encourages people not to play again because of the fear of another loss. (As I have experienced many times since the start of my play time, back in 2002 -- beta.)
i dont get it... everyone else is using the traders in plaza to get his shit done.
Trusting? you can trust most of the people and there are only a handfull you cant but they also will not care but ur level shit.
So you only need 1 pvp character, so if you would get ur old chars back you would still have the problem of no equip for pvp.
When you start a tank/spy and woc him you get at least enough rareparts to equip him. Pe and monk is another story cause they take too long to woc or just grind aoe instead of rareparts.
Making a transfer possible is a bit stupid, cause there are still many people leveling their characters cause they didnt had the possibility to choose, another problem is that you get a bunch of cheaters back to the game also, most of them is sick by now leveling their 3 or 4th account ;)
I know you don't, because you haven't been around as long as other people have; like other vets and myself. Your account only being a couple of years old is clearly not enough time to be considered so. It's obvious that you probably don't have anything to recover anyway, so you couldn't care less; so stay out of the conversation. ;)Quote:

Only on this game, would anyone ever consider a wipe "necessary".Quote:

Sure you have, "Join Date October 2012". If you really did start playing back in 2001/2002, then you should have grown up by now.Quote:

And everyone lost a fucking ton of stuff.. And yes, we all actually have lives now (well, most of us do), so time isnt something we have a lot of.
However, we still all took us the time to level up characters and farm for shit (btw, farming for rare weapons takes FAR longer than capping/WoC'ing a character, and is just as boring as leveling).
Personally I lost 4 accounts of fully equipped and capped (mostly WoC) characters. And so much stuff, it almost makes me sad to think about (almost).
Keep an eye out for double XP weekends - that shit helps a lot!
The problem with the wipe was, they didn't fix the dupe bug or various leveling ground exploits for giant xp fast. I remember kicking myself not playing hardcore for the first months of new server because after about a month they closed off the ceres caves with woc disks because droners were exploiting that super hard.
Basically most people that started right after the wipe have a huge advantage over everyone. Exploiting bugs that are now fixed for high end XP you could gain while AFK. Exploiting bugs for millions of credits that are now fixed.
Well, how about a server reset? :angel:
as far as i know most of the people doing that got also banned in the first days and weeks of the serverQuote:

Additionally, if you have come across means or methods with which to take advantage of a loophole in the game, you should send as much information as possible to the same address. Being able to replicate issues of this nature allows us to remove them from the game much faster.
this is great to hear. i know of a few of them from back in the day.....i tried out a memhack exploit w/tsearch (purely to test to see if it was fixed, not to do anything in game) and was pleasantly surprised to see it fixed. Good job! Of course the duping bug has also been fixed as well.Quote:

I do understand the means to do the server wipe and it does give the whole server a "Fresh plate"
but damn, take my items, take my money, It would be awesome if the vet players were entitled to at least one WoC 1 character of their choice :/
Since starting the thread to now you could have easily wocced a char (spy) tbh. Or you could just roll a tank and get a cs and not even need woc.
