Topic Regarding Worlds

[Tompwnage]

Hello, this is absolutely amazing and I am truly amazed how addicting it is. I have come to notice there have been wipes in the past and I have one simple question. Will there be another wipe? If so what would be deleted and what would stay.


P.S. Thanks for reading my post.

Regards,

Hello, In the past there have been 2 wipes. The first wipe deleted just the world itself, while the second wipe deleted the world and its characters, only leaving everyones accounts.

I might be mistaken, but the first world survived three months, while the second survived six. Massive game overhauls and imbalances are what drives the devs to reset to even the plate (Previous problems included massive-quality metal due to glitched charcoal, massive bear LP and easy-to-grind bears, and macroing). I should expect the server to see another few solid months of time, hoping at least 'til '11.

Very true on that... How many Wiped do you think before all the main problems in the game are fixed. Or will there always be wipes?



P.S. Thanks for the replys

lol. there will always be wipes man. the game is in alpha so it is far from finished, and thats how it will be for a good long time and thats how i like it, it means we get regular updates of good stuff.

personally, id like to see a wipe fairly soon, but thats just me.

Went prospecting for several days all directions from our camp, found that all the mines are already taken and dead of materials.

any idea on time frame to the next wipe?

Move your camp to a new supergrid and try there.

Yea this is a big problem when you try looking in many other grids and you prospect and prospect and prospect while traveling west for a long way then traveling north-west ish traveling for 2.5 hours in that direction to find that there is nothing there at all.

For long times prospecting in the middle of nowhere on some island that seems never to have been touched and finding zip.

This after travelling north of our base for a bit over 1 hour directly north from the base.

Well i guess it is check the other directions and if no eval well looks like its be stuck doing nothing as no one besides the local thief are around to trade with. Towns deserted in every direction. Only seeing 3 people anywhere else in the world. that were not in our group.

This then leaves the bleak hope of working hard to get nowhere. ie deciding to leave the game as it boars you to death because there is no one anywhere. This being a sad option as this game is "brilliant, fun and addictive" apart for the fact that there is no mines left available and no one around for many Super Grids (SG) if they are around at all and or still playing potentially due to this same issue.

Just trade for metal, please don't make yourself hated.

A lot of newbie prospectors don't seem to realise that the moment new SGs get added, veterans travel around and claim them all.

That doesn't mean they're all going to have villages, or even palidades, built around them.

Prospecting does not detect already-built mines, so use your head. You have to actually go and LOOK at likely places, not just trust the mineral window pop-up.
