Its time for a wipe.

Vote on the poll please.

I think its time for a total wipe.

Eu1 has been empty the last days and eu7 is slowing dying aswell.

Just wipe it all, including strategus, we have nothing to lose since all the servers are empty.

Do it.

[njames89]

Wipe just EU I guess NA has been pretty decent recently.

[Nickleback]

wipe panos's brain and rehabilitate

[Heibai]

"Wipe strat only" option is missing.

[IR_Kuoin]

I hardly think a wipe is gonna bring people back, more the opposite.

[Tristan_of_Erzoth]

NA1 has been gaining population the last few days, especially strat.

[Dalhi]

Thing is a bit different for NA and that is the blocker, EU battle died almost two months ago when there were issues with autobalancer and never recovered.
Personally i don't mind wiping the game in fact I advocate for this for some time already. Strategus reset didn't really bring any players as they left before it happened, at this point crpg on EU side is dead for over a month. Battle hardly gets more than 10 players. I played like two days ago wiht 7 or 8 guys and no one joined, the day before we had 5 vs 5 siege, for like an hour no one new appeared on the server and we just left.
Even DTV is getting less and less players with every day.
I would say wipe, it can't be worst than that, fuck the looms and levels when you can't even make a proper use of them.
Raise the starting level to 30, forget about the "grind" part from peasant to something usefull, if someone wants it, he will retire and get the low lvl grind. 

On a side note, would be nice to have some kind of happy hours, it does wonders on Mercenaries module, 100 on siege and around 50-60 players online. DTV needs a reward adjustment, some time ago someone suggested to disable upkeep and gold gain there it's not a bad idea, reward for winning a map is crazy high needs lowering.
There are some that log in just to play dtv and it's fine, people enjoy the game in a verry different way, and that is the strength of it.
For battle I'd advise to get small maps like the one from there :http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,253855.0.html and decrease the round times, it does wonders on Native, round are pretty damn intense and swift, no time for fooling around.

Things that I listed are not a really hard task for someone talented like Professor. You may keep th NA database, but if possible EU needs a reset.

If you get rid of the grind, what is the point of wiping? Then its just the same because people who actually play will get the money, gold, and looms back faster than casual players anyways

It's just a better starting point for a new character, you still need to lvl it up. Some old farts that are still around but never actually get into crpg might check it, and it's a new innitiative to play for cprg veterans. EU has a lot players online daily, check the website in 4-5 hours http://www.mnbcentral.net/
Of course those that activily play will get looms and lvls back back much faster nothing revealing. Also as I said, things are different on NA, so I am not going to argue about that with you.

Yeah, it might be that is constant x2 for some time, hard to tell server is empty. But I was thinking about an hour or two when you get all the rewards x2, excluding dtv  , you know daily crpg time.

PS That still requires a confirmation if having separate detabase for NA and EU is possible, marketplace is also an issue

I've seen a lot of dumb & useless Poles but Dalhi is the smartest of the lot. Praise !

im also pro wipe but just chars and gold. the very high average level makes it difficult if not impossible to balance accordingly. this creates sort of mess in the various classes, stuff is "rebalanced", stuff that wouldnt feel unbalanced if characters were lower level. the high char-level makes it almost impossible to tell if some weapon or armor is unbalanced.

i dont think looms is that big of an impact. we played this mod (too much) alot, let us keep something.

edit: if keeping looms, gear that was loomed could have increased upkeep

I'd say it died earlier than the autobalance issues, when it first got brought back online from Professors efforts it did really well. Crossbow masses and just lack of interest in the game made for the gradual dropoff. Autobalance and poor mapcycle was a bit of a nail in the coffin, but it was only like 1 day of actual autobalance issues, almost like people just want excuses to drop out.

We tried a kind of happy hour, but people didnt show up, and like me many quit very quickly.


Maybe a wipe will spark some interest for me to play again, but tbh if i want to play warband for the gameplay now i'll pretty much rather play native or maybe merc mod. Its more for the nostalgia and for the people playing that i went back for a while some months ago, but thats about it.

[Leshma]

I'm strongly against database wipe because I worked hard for those loompoints and loomed items, now to be taken from me by some squeaky voiced developer. My property is mine, don't you dare to take it away from me.
