Hi guys, I've seen a lot of anger and angst in the forums and in-game about the up-coming character wipe. I'd just like to remind everyone about the other parts of the post from the Ryzom team which some seem to have missed.
If the servers aren't merged, there will be no more Ryzom. As a consequence, the dev team have taken a decision to start everyone all over from scratch. So, the reality is, that you could take the option of having a new Toon in Ryzom and be able to continue playing the game, or the option that there is is no more Ryzom, period.
Seems pretty clear to me.

I have seen countless server merges in the many mmos i played/tried over the years.
Yes, server merges are sometimes necessary but they do not imply character wipe.
I have been playing mmos since 2001, i have never seen character wipe, ever.
I think the owners want to get rid of the few old players left, i assume they are seen as a problem.
Easier to get rid of them than program the necessary updates to the game.
Not to mention all the so-called updates i seen so far were about pvp, pvp and pvp, so thats about all the devs know to do, everything else is above their skill level.
