I have been told that CCP stated they need to wipe all characters to for this upcoming patch/release because they are switching servers (I didnGÇÖt read this for myself but was told that from a friend).
Whether it is true or not is beside the point, I believe it would be beneficial to not 100% wipe everyone who has been grinding out for the past month or so since the last wipe. I think something like an 85% wipe would be much better.
I know it is better for testing purposes to have everyone start at the bottom and work their way up and I know it is very frustrating to get wiped clean of 30, 40 or 50 million SP (I am only at about 15 myself). A compromise for everyone could be that you get a little reward for the time you have put in over the past month by starting out with a slight bump.
An example could be:
1,000,000 SP base for all players (new players would start here as well). Add 15% (they could choose any number really) of the SP a player had before the wipe and add that on to the base. If I had 10 million SP before the wipe, I would start this new release with 2.5 million (1M base and 1.5 bonus for previous SP earned). If I had 40 million before the wipe, I would start the new release with 7 million SP.

I agree. It feels like a little slap in the players face who put a lot of time into it. No doubt before release...wipe away. If there was a calendar of updates and wipes that would be nice too. But I understand as they may be an "as needed" type of thing. |

In all the beta's I have been in ever, there has never been a soft wipe between builds.
It just doesn't happen because it takes a lot of work to do and it typically not worth the dev time to help beta testers keep some of their stats.
You can't carry your SP to the launch build either so why should it matter?
In short, I think your idea is pointless and doesn't deserve developer time to code and implement. |

A. I agree if it were time consuming and difficult, it would be a waste of time. I have no knowledge in this sort of thing to determine how easy or hard it would be.
B. I understand you can't carry SP to launch. I just thought this would be an easier pill to swallow than all the way back to zero/beginning. |

Theres no "pill to swallow"
Its a BETA. These characters are not your own. You don't get to keep them.
Try not to get attached. |

They have to wipe it because they cant transport the assests server over becuase the infastructure that supports your character's skills, assest, isk, and the sorts isnt the same.
They can preserve names, and award items easily though they're afterthought flags or third party tracking. |

You will keep the name and the birthdate of your character, and so you will keep your reputation you got while playing the beta and posting on the forums.
Seeing the names, and forumpost from some of the more notourious forumposters i think they havent got the consequenses of it.
In New Eden the only thing that matters is your reputation, everything else can be replaced. |

But you don't get to keep your skill points or ISK or items, so none of the things that this post was asking to keep.
