I can already imagine how it would be, one week to find a purps spot, another week till someone start selling eggs,,, Another wipe? Who got 2x Full myst under 30 days? I feel retarded now,, im about 30 days old and dont even have half a set. How about a poll? Actually, it would not be that easy. The way to get Dragon and uni eggs can be rather hard... In fact, I am still not sure how to get dragon eggs from anywhere but female evo dragons or player vendors. Also without people that are able to make armor and weapons that are decent it would only make it that much harder to get the eggs at the start, and without evos it will be hard to stand your ground against the mystic guardians to get the myst you need. Do you want to walk into a cave full of purples with no mysticals or evos? Sounds like it would be painful. (I might just have to do that for the fun of seeing what it would be like. ) As for someone getting a full suit of myst (that was not including the stackable belt or shield) in 30 days, I could do it right now with one of my newbies with little to no help. You just have to know how to do it, and have enough dedicated time on your hands. I would even willingly have my newbie's skills and stats reset just to prove it. I'm not sure if I could get 2 without help, but I would try. I mostly said that in terms of people handing stuff out to newbies for free... If you don't have to work to get that first bit of money to get a dragon then a uni, and if you are shown where a purple spot is from the start, it is really easy from there to get 2x myst and a merc. And as for a poll, I'll see what I can do. ^^ Edit: Poll is in, but I forgot to add "Undecided". :/ Derp moment.

my point is that you only need the spot and an evo. Thats what i did, got my first 65mil and bought the merc from a vendor but i could gamble and get roughly 25mil tokens. Hit the training area, craft a decent armor (100bs is fair enough) or loot it ..
Undecided isnt an option here. hehe

I feel like we'd have to get the word out to everyone much more effectively than using a poll on the forums. Not very many people check the forums regularly. And this is a kind of big subject.

i know i rarely get on anymore, but i honestly believe if there was a player wipe i find it very much in doubt that i would ever play again. i honestly dont have time for playing uo(mu is the only shard i have played in years) anymore with college and work but if i ever did at some point in time i would prefer to have my character(s) that i could get on and do what i have always done in making items. i dont think a movement of the purples would be out of the question, but you have to remember it could take a while if staff are busy in life as well(which most likely they are). things you might want to think about, if there is a player wipe and less players play then what did you accomplish? also how many people play uo anymore? do the pros outweigh the cons? Just some ideas for you to think about BTL

A lot being said here by a few people. A wipe is something we've thought about before, quite a few times actually. The reason we've never done it before is what has been stated here in the forums: quite a few people will quit if we do a wipe. People will also quit if we don't do a wipe because they'll be bored to tears. As you all probably know, we as staff have all been quite busy in real life for awhile now and so things have slowed down extensively here on the shard. We still keep it running, and we try to fix problems that arise, but it's difficult to add lots of new content and such when you have so many other things to do (if only we could win the lottery ). And it certainly doesn't help that people are playing MU and UO less in general these days. I know the big shards still have many players, but people have tons of web-based games now and more, better looking MMOs available and other such things to pull them away from MU. Plus they have real lives to deal with as many non-adult players become adults and get lots of new responsibilities. In the end, I don't think either solution really works well. I think a solution that *could* work better would be to create an MU 2.0. A separate, cleaned instance of the shard (perhaps with upgrades) for those that wish to start over. And the current MU could stay along, getting all the same (as much as possible anyways) updates as the new clean one would get so they'd be mostly identical. Only one would have been wiped and one wouldn't be. Of course this would also split any playerbase and so there would probably be some people who have issue with this as well. Anyways, just something to think about. It's not like any of us have any time to handle a wipe so huge right now. On a mostly unrelated note, the title of "P-wipe?" made me think of this: Gotta love Mario!

People who wants a wipe can have their accounts deleted? That's an idea

People who wants a wipe can have their accounts deleted? That's an idea It is indeed and since I believe at least 2 people have taken that route now, I'll officially say that it is the current only option. You can either keep playing your current account (as many people want to do) or if you wish, you can ask to have your current account deleted and you can start over fresh
