Why not just leave the EU and NA-1 servers alone and let those who don't want to lose their toons play amongst themselves in their shell of a sandbox, and make separate 2.0 servers? New players get a new start, vets with maxxed out toons get to keep their maxxed out toons and millions of gold.
You're welcome, Tasos. The consulting fee contract you never agreed to is attached to the bill, and they're in the mail.
I posted this some posts above, and someone maybe posted it before me. So I want in on the money. :P
The only problem with that.... once they (vets) figure out that no new players are coming to their server alot of them will just reroll on the server with all the new players ... sounds like a waste of a server to me
I hope they wipe every second week, so that we get millions of new players instead of just thousands.
So yea i watch you all get wiped while i trust another company that values me as customer. (it gives me also a reason not to bother ever again with this, because they didnt cleared it up i already play actively other MMO's for now)
wipe it ! i say wipe it !
It doesn't also makes sense to sub and play till they wipe anyway so stay out of this.

if you were really playing it for the competition then a wipe woudn't bother u at all. U sound like one the zerg gankers to me!
Wrong approach. Wiping a game 3 or 4 years later (DarkFall turned 3 this year), means erasing up to 3 years of time that players have spent into this game. Wiping at this point is saying that all those years spent were meaningless. It's like working in an company for 15 years, and then suddenly the employer shows up and say "You're all fired, but don't worry, you can always re-apply starting tomorrow." That's insanity.
I have to disagree here. A game like Darkfall shouldn't have a huge powergap between newer players and old veterans. In Darkfall 1.0 the gap is massive. I remember running up to a guy and hitting him for what appeared to be zero damage, and then getting one shot. It's just not a good mechanic in an FFA full loot game. I started playing on EU and transfered to NA as well, I just didn't macro all night long to get random skills up to get my stats super high like some people. The grind was just too insane and the power increase was just too high which is why i went from DF to EVE for a pvp game. This kind of mechanic doesn't promote fun world pvp, it promotes boring one sided fights with extreme consequences. A FFA full loot game can have progression but it shouldn't be too extreme. Players who like these types of game general don't really like grinding anyway and would prefer to just get down to business PKing. If they are remaking the game then a wipe makes sense, and any competitive player would welcome the challenge.

Darkfall never meant to be a 1 vs 1 arena competition game.

But the way that day consider things in their blogs it's quite clear all those new features of DF2 are quite far away from completion. Including consideration of wipe I supose.

They should wipe it.
That is the only way many of us will give it another chance...

I just hope they get it out this year. The Darkfall is one of the 2 games that have ever given me a proper adrenaline rush.
I just miss those epic battles and freedom that Darkfall brought. If they do well on 2.0 Darkfall will be the best MMORPG ever created.
