Even tho I dont have a character as advanced as some other players I know that spending a lot of effort and subscription money just to get rerolled to lvl 1 is just plain wrong.

I have created, and will create on NewRyzom, a guild dedicated to preserving the Ari way of life... Remnants of Aris.

Fyrosfreddy: the other shards are also remembering and mourning their unique community. We all will do our best to live, fight and work together. Understanding the major languages to some extent and having played a bit on all servers, I shall do my best to help, so will do others. Believe me that you anglophone are the most privileged among us, no envy,

Sounds good to me Effex. Though I imagine you will have more trouble than last time ;-)

The death of a great game

I'm only losing 1/100th as much as many of you, though sharing the pain of losing regular contact with friends. This all just seems so very very much an extremely poorly thought out plan.

How do you say 'Need a rez at <insert location>' in four or five different languages when you only read and write one?

How to cut and paste from and to chat box and use google translate through the in game browser to figure out what the guy or gal next to you just said?

And of course, how, without the help of higher level characters does a poor newbie fool like me who starts out in Yrk ever get trekked anywhere?

I don't see the point in playing these next two weeks, and well don't have much hope at all for the new server. Only 'good' thing is I was just about to resubscribe when the news hit so at least I won't lose money now.

Thx Dean - I may not return.

The loss of eight years of character progression WILL irrevocably drive me away from this game. I might stick around after a wipe if this was a game where gaining back what I lost could be achieved in a few months, but I simply will not accept starting from scratch in such a drawn out progression system as this.

I will leave my subscription intact for now, but if there is a character wipe, THAT DAY will the final cancellation, with no possibility of EVER re-subscribing.

+1.

Goodbye Deathlyy :'(

Yep. Im with you. I will hold out hope till the last minute but as soon as I see my toons deleted I will unsub immediately as well as demand a refund for the year I pre-payed.

Cancelled my accounts today. Opened accounts in another old-school mmorpg world. Good luck to all my friends. Mata Zora!

If the dappers, items and meks need to go in order to make this revamped economy system work, so be it. But saving at least the skills and occs would go a long way in maintening credibility for both old and potential players.

+1and +5 for my alts...and Hi Riku!

+1, not because of the wipe, because of the lack of honesty.

I understand and accept the motivation for the server merge and the dappers wipe.
More players online and a finally working economy can only help the game, and less expenses fo Winchgate can only help the game survive.
I'm all for removing cats from the OPs as their introduction had a very bad effect on the play experience.

But: I don't really see a compelling reason for a char wipe.

I think the attachment of all players to their toons has been underestimated.

Also for me, Glo is more than just a toon i play with, he is my alter ego, he has a history and many memories attached to him. Like others, i have a lot of stuff crafted for me by homins no longer in game which i treasure - my Alegra sword, my Chrono amps, my HA Yoshi made for me after we duo-foraged for weeks, the Kitin-Hunter titles that guildies spent days on to present to me as a gift...

I don't think the desired effect of a char-wipe will last long.
When "Cho" was introduced as a new server especially aimed at new players, it took a couple of veterans only a few weeks to get the most important master titles back and dominating the server much more one-sided than Ari ever was.


With a starter pack, i can re-create a new toon named Glo, but i can't get Glo back.
