Will there be a wipe between 2.0 beta and 2.0 live?

[Senuska]

The main reason why I thought there might be a semi-wipe is because if there are exploits/bugs there are in the beta/trial that allowed players to gain some thing more quickly than intended, or just skip content, then it would make sense for a wipe to happen. I think it would actually make sense for this to happen because it prevents these types of problems.

I would really like a dev to confirm or deny or even clarify this, please!

There will be absolutely no wpe/loss of progress of anything

this has been stated numerous times by yoshi himself

Has this not been in relation to the transition from 1.XX to 2.0?

I am wondering if there will be a wipe of progress made in the 2.0 beta/trial since it will be the first out-of-house testing done on a big scale.

there will be no wipe, it falls under the same standard.


the 2.0 beta will not be like other betas, it will be a live beta where the game is already underway. this is also the reason why the game is going back to free status during this to compensate for all the issues we may encounter during the time.

everything we do/earn during it will still be kept

Hmm, seems like SE is asking for trouble if that is the case. It could end up have Garuda-exploit-level-drama, at a minimum if there is an exploit found while it is in this trial/beta phase.

If the 2.0 beta is on seperate servers from our actual characters and we're still allowed to play 1.xx until 2.0 goes live and our 1.xx characters are transferred I suppose there would be a wipe. Otherwise, no, there will not be any loss of data from 1.xx to 2.xx.

@Kiroh I am not saying that there will be a wipe going into 2.0 from 1.XX. I will break it down into three stages:

1. All character progress leading up to the 2.0 trial/beta (this is every thing that the character has done in the current version of the game).

2. 2.0 beta/trial phase starts. The characters progress from the previous stage is saved, and a copy of that character is used in this stage. If it is an actual beta this stage would be used to test the new graphics engine, combat, UI, and any other bug testing that would need to be done in order to ensure a smooth transition into the 2.0 live release.

3. 2.0 beta/trial phase ends, and 2.0 live launches. At this point the copy of the character from the beginning will be loaded. The character that was played during the 2.0 beta/trial phase is deleted.

So here is an example: At the launch of 2.0 beta/trial phase a MRD is level 20. During the 2.0 beta/trial phase the MRD gets to level 35. At the end of the 2.0 beta/trial phase the MRD is back to level 20.

If we (the players) could choose to play either the 2.0 client or the 1.XX client then most every one would play the 2.0 client for a few days and switch back over to the 1.XX client to get as far as needed. This isn't helpful when the pint of the 2.0 beta/trial phase is to work out all the bugs. In order to do that most effectively SE would move every one over to the 2.0 client. And with the current server structure already as convoluted as it is, it would be a big pain to run both the 2.0 servers and the 1.XX servers.

There isn't going to be a "beta", on the PC end. the "beta" is 2.0 and there will be no wipe at 2.0 or at any other time.

NOBODY would be investing any serious time in the game right now if they knew their stuff was going to be deleted.
