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?
