What is the best way to handle world wipes?

[Flame]

At this state of the game, reset the world whould just restart the fever for the land, the building and yeah, basically H&H.
BUT
This time will come, again. What do you miss in H&H now? And if you miss it, create it. The game is just a world populated with players. Players are the game itself, so take the rope in the hand and drive the game where you want.

I was thinking: maybe the world will reset when crafting q999 items becomes usual, assuming that still crashes the server. So maybe that would count as an objective for the game if you want one so badly? Besides, if that's true, then those pro-world-wipe know what to do to get their w8.

Not easy when egomaniacs high on their own stats come by and rain on your fun.

Do you like this phase of the world? No activity and the little there is is unintelligible smack talk.

Yes i do - i have friends that are active and helpfull - i enjoy the starters coming in everyday (no i dislike finding their corpses being mauled by boars)
I'm not a grinder or competive type of player so it's still enough to do for developing, building and socialising ... ok i'm one of those stoopids that even liked to play through the lag times last world

And if i wanted fast paced action and competition i'd go join my old BF community for MP clashes, owning and teabagging ...

There are those who believe with every world wipe Jorb and Loftar set forth statues honoring the past and if you can somehow figured its secret code it will lead you to a spot buried deep in Haven where you can unlock untold power.

The fact that the game even needs to be reset should be a big red flag.

Can you address your actual reasoning as to why you won't wipe after the world has gone long beyond a year old?

There are many reasons, but I'll just leave you with the one that the next wipe is Hafen.

[Arcanist]

You've previously stated (I thought) that world 7 and hafen will co exist until the major bugs are out of hafen

[loftar]

Well, sure; let me reformulate that as "the next new world will be Hafen", then. :)

Oh gross world 7 is going to keep going when hafen is released
