I'm sorry but the only thing a full wipe would do is result in Ryzom almost certainly closing 6-12 months down the road. There would be a massive amount of ragequitting and the new players attracted by the idea of a fresh start would not be enough to offset the effects of losing the majority of the existing, proven-loyal playerbase. Dumping an existing playerbase in favor of a potential new playerbase that may or may not turn out to be viable is exactly the kind of thinking that drove Star Wars Galaxies' "New Game Enhancements", and the only reasons that game survived that disastrous course change was 1) the fact it was owned by Sony Online Entertainment, a large company with extensive resources and 2) the Star Wars IP. Even then, SWG only survived in a relatively limping manner, its population dwindling steadily over the years that followed the initial sharp drop, until it closed six years after the NGE.
