I thought this was obvious, but perhaps not. The mud (like all other muds) will have a pwipe. I held off very large changes (like sub-races) so I wouldn't do any pwipes during alpha. The only pwipe will be the transfer from alpha to beta. And the date for that is unknown, since builders aren't really doing what we expect.

If it's not obvious why we are doing pwipe, then I'll have to say. First of all, it's because of fairness/balance. Many players during alpha received things from bugs or something of the sort. For example many players still have old eq, which has a very large armor bonus, instead of the new fixed armor.

The other reason for a pwipe is because it's required. The major changes will be put in during this version transfer, and the new change system will change pfiles so much that the old system will not handle them. Thus, your character will not be able to be used anyways if there wasn't a pwipe.

Understand? Glad to hear it. There's no reason to leave and wait for the pwipe. You are learning much while playing, and you will not lose all your hard work. You will still keep what you have learned. How to kill certain NPCs, tricks to get easy Yen, and so on. Again, the biggest reason for a pwipe is for balance.

Pwipe stands for "player wipe".

Alpha is the first version of something. Very early on. Beta is after. Look up the definitions.

A quick update. We will have a short version called "pre-beta" between alpha and beta. A pwipe will happen after alpha is done, and we will go into pre-beta. In pre-beta, all the features of beta will be quickly tested. Gains, classes, and so on will all be gained easily/more often than alpha and beta. Probably around 10x exp gains. Pre-beta won't long, I would assume around a week. Then we go into beta.

I remember you saying that you don't plan on doing the pwipe anytime soon, but do you have an estimated date as to when you plan on going into pre-beta?

Pre-beta will be at the same time when beta would have happened.

A pwipe deletes everyone (for the sake of balance, in this case).

You will all be creating new characters, so you can pick any name you want as long as get the character first.
