Another question: Wipe before launch?

[Glowyrm]

Hey guys, another question I have while considering playing again: Will there be a character wipe before launch? If so, will it be a full wipe?

Thanks!

There will be no wipe coming into beta (Steam release). There will be a partial wipe on full release, though. Some aspects of your character will be wiped including but not limited to: items, currency, NPC favor levels, and favor-quests. Most skills will not be wiped. Please note, this is subject to change.

I think this is the info you are looking for.

Thanks! Favor wiped. That's rough!

Not really that bad at all. Skills, and recipes are the most expensive and time consuming thing to get, and define your character.

The economy getting a reset will make the game play better and even things out. Too many veteran characters have millions they don't need and stacks of supplies. And much more will be accumulated by the wipe, which is at least 18 months off. Prices will be lower, and there will be a lot more trading. A better economy.

By wiping favor, you slow up the older characters a bit. You won't be able to go farm things and get a ton of money from vendors. It will take a bit to work things up. But we will know what to do, the best/easiest way to get favor with the best vendors. Veteran players will still have a huge advantage with their high level skills, and knowledge of the game.

Does items mean equipped armor and weapons

Armor and weapons, all items in storage, money. But....

this is at least 18 months away, and possibly longer.
