Future Question

[Ferris Bueller]

I have looked thru some of the random threads but didn't see the answer to my question. Honestly I didn't read all of them. I have played off and on here for a year plus. I am starting to play again and population is way down. Looks like because of some updates that are on the way.

My only question is there going to be any sort of wipe once the update comes? I ask because it would determine for me what I want to do here when I am playing.

Thanks!

Before doc thunder pops in with his aggressive comments, here's the scoop:

The shard is currently in a revamp phase where everything from the shard foundation to content is getting looked at and revised where necessary. There have not been any updates to the live server because the new server handles data a lot differently. The live server and development server are currently not compatible and it is too soon to transfer the changes over to live as fixes and testing must still be done. The shard will not be wiped, but there are numerous areas that are going through changes.

Anything that is not coded accurately (such as UOML content), will be revised. Every skill in the game will be fixed up accordingly, if some spells are not working properly or if there are any missing features of a skill (Such as ninjitsu's cat/dog form which is not giving the high regeneration it is supposed to be giving).

As for items, it is mostly unnecessary to wipe any items. There are a few items out there that need to be wiped, such as gm modded weapons or items that were not meant to make it into the game. Items that need to be changed but can't be fixed will also be removed. As for existing customs, they will stay but may be scaled if they have too many properties or converted to an OSI equivalent if they are very similar in properties. They will still be available in game but may be moved to a different drop system to balance each one out (For example, a demitel artifact may be moved to doom gauntlet or an AOA may be moved to a paragon/named creature drop).

Before doc thunder pops in with his aggressive comments, here's the scoop:

you guys just delete my posts before anyone can read them anyways, isn't it a little unfair to say something like that towards me? I cannot even post aggressive comments anyways now. Frankly, I would be surprised if this post even makes it to the forums. Nice job on treating one of your most faithful vets with respect admins.

We deleted your posts because you don't seem to be able to listen. We clearly stated to all the players, why the updates are taking so long, but you can't seem to understand that. We're tired of hearing the same thing over again, you have basically downgraded yourself to a spammer, repeating the exact same thing that nobody wants to hear as it's been said already.

I am sorry for the previous post, it was tactless of me to portray you in an unfavorable light. However, you have posted several times this past week, stating the exact same thing in a consistently rude manner. If this continues, we will be giving you a forum vacation. For the last time, we ask you to politely wait patiently like everyone else.

Before you start wagging your finger of staff disrespecting you, how about you take a moment to think about what we've created over the last couple of years, and how you've treated us in kind. If you don't show us any respect when we've repeatedly explained ourselves and gave you every opportunity to understand, then what more is there to do other than waste our breath.

Thanks for the response. I play here solo most the time even when there was population so right now its not a big deal if it is in revamp phase for me. I just didnt want to chop logs for example if my rewards are just going to get wiped down the line.

I don't know Thunder or anyone here but I remember him from forum posts from a year plus ago. I have read some of the posts and can understand why he and staff are both fusturated.

I should just stay out of it since I don't know anyone involved but from my point of view I would rather have someone speaking up like Thunder is.

Just shows he cares. You will never hear from the guy that just gets pissed and leaves. You wont ever see him back either.

Is there anything the few players that are active and loyal can help with? It is a player run server and the players that are here now will probably be around forever.

Sorry for my long post. I want this server to stick around. I was out hunting today for the first time forever and run into a supreme blood elemental right out the gate. That was a fast reminder for me as to why I like playing here.

Good luck to everyone!
