There will be new main content to rank up?

Sounds like just as the game is getting fixed, they are going to jack it up all over again by adding PvP which has ruined the balance of every MMO since the dawn of time.

THE WORLD IS ENDING BECAUSE OF PEEVEEPEEE.

FFXI had pvp, game was not ruined.

Edit: I honestly hope they launch some new servers come PS3 release, because, as the above poster says, a lot of the systems that are in place/have been in place so far have trashed the game.

Would be nice to get a fresh start with no rank 50s-in-every-class from the get go.

I still wish there'd be a character wipe. I don't understand all the people still trying to get as high as possible when so many things are going to be changing in the coming patches. It's not as if you automatically stop playing with people you've met in-game if you're worried about that kind of thing.

If they did a character wipe, I and likely everyone I know would quit playing and never look back. A character wipe is the worst thing they could do for this community, and thankfully they know it. Why are people so hung up on destroying other players' achievements?

I agree, that would be a harsh punnishment for someone who still wants to play the game. Doesn't matter what type of game you are playing, you lose something you have spent hours working on, you will lose the drive to re-do it again and just leave. I've done it countless times with single player games if something happens to my save game. Character wipe = Game death. Besides, that would be resetting the entire economy as well. Everyone will be back in the same boat of no equipment and weapons because no one has a crafter that can make them yet. Baaaaaad idea all around, <end fail topic>

indeed

there are some of use that have spent countless hours lvling our classes. a char wipe would just be a kick in the arse to atleast 50% of the current players. i know i would never play this game again if i had to start from the bottom.

but i really gotta ask..... why do people even think it would be a good thing?

It's interesting that you bring up "destroying other players' achievements" when so many players(not counting you here) keep saying that the game is batshit easy and there's hardly any sense of "real" achievement anyway. If that's REALLY true(and I don't necessarily believe it is), then it shouldn't be that hard to start a clean slate.

This is especially true considering the point that there really won't be much for the rank 50s outside of a dungeon for rank 45 that no doubt they'll finish in a day and immediately proceed to say they're bored and SE never does anything for 'em.

My original point still stands though. There are so many changes in the works for the journey to rank 50, that starting fresh would be like a totally new experience. What good does changing concussive blow from rank 2 to 1 do if you're already at the top anyway, for example?

I'm glad there's a number of players like yourself that actually do enjoy the game enough to not want a character wipe. My suggestion really only applies to bored players.

If you would like to wipe out your 1% of progression, feel free to delete your character. No one is stopping you.

Nice first post Gahad, you hit the nail on the head!

But he won't because he wants everyone to be castrated with him.

...I'm not entirely sure you guys understood the point I was trying to make.
