Hi all!
Even without reading all the pages I already could predict 100% what will I read here, still - I've read them all.
When merge is actually a good idea wipe is horrible HUGE MISTAKE.
Let's think what makes ryzom so special? For me it is the only game that allows making such incredibly passionate relations between players which forms this unique community. But! To form such relations u need time and time in ryzom is quite slow :) it is almost like a life, a real life and let's see what u doing now? - killing alot of lives, alot of sleepless hours, alot of emotions, memories, learning, achievements. U may think what a problem, it will be a new life - no it won't be a new life, it will be another life, but how willing u be to play it after u got killed?
Ryzom is not significantly developing so gameplay stays same, world (as locations) stays same leveling stays same old horrible grind and u think many ppl will want to repeat YEARS of big efforts thru the same game? For me it's not even a question :) Obviously NOT.
So what we have here: all loyal and knowledgeable players leaving and making huge fuss all over social networks and u losing money, new players who see this kind of advertisement will ask themselves 'do I really want to go there and give them money see what they did to oldies?' - so no new moneys as well which means even less developing and even big question how to pay that only single server we have.
Okay okay let's turn on unreal imagination and see brand new ryzom with tons of new newbies running around. What was special about ryzom when I came to play? I can tell u - COMMUNITY. I thought I found heavens no less - ppl being helpful, attentive, answering questions spending time with me even being much higher in levels and everything. But u just killing this community! For all those imagined newbies there will be NO community! Noone to help finding that fine zun amber, noone to help killing kirosta, noone to explain how great digging is! "Oh this game is too hard! I go back to WoW" - this what u will have. And it will take YEARS to form new community - ask yourself "do we really have those years?".
Really now, admin folks, switch on ur brains and see finally that wipe thing will be just the last nail into ryzom's coffin cover.
I ask u kindly: for the sake of all incredible love to this game and for the sake of it's surviving - PLEASE RECONSIDER!!!
