And I think that given the ease with which this kind of wipe is done, it will certainly not be the last, there may be many more in the future....

Heres an idea.. Some people have suggested a intergalatic dimension to travel from system a to system b.

 

Why not simplify it dramatically.  Make the two systems in the same server., but make them rediculously far apart. So far a part that it was take two weeks slow boating to get to system a to system b.  

 

If a player did decide to warp such a distance, it would cost tens if not hundreds of millions to transport those duplicated items, which would then bump up the price of those items if they did get those exploited items across, otherwise it would be a major loss in profit. Then the trick is how to prevent money transfer between the two systems. Perhaps a banking/range system? 

 

 

 

 

Same server, different solare system with a long range, and then a community project for the construction of a portal between the two worlds, which will allow time for the new systems to develop. (chat communication possible between the systems)

I've always said the way to go is have 2 servers. You want to keep all your money and skill points? Stay on the legacy server. Keep talking to the same people and have a stagnated economy.

 

Open up a brand new server for new players and make all these changes there. A place new players are all equal. You can roll a new account on there when you get bored on the legacy server. Its not fair to have 50M+ skill points and a $2B+ asset advantage over a new player.

 

They might as well go play Eve at that point...

 

JMHO

I think it does not reason in server but rather in solar system, obviously NQ will add another many solare systems in the long term, so these additions could give the opportunity to set up a temporary start-up phase for the new users and make after of future portal between these. I think it will be an interesting balance and also a more important motivation for new players.

This mean double work, maintain the old obsolete world, and work in the new one, just for some people keep his "hard work"

 

 

If the wipe is mandatory for technical reasons then yes, but if it's just to satisfy new players it's a pretty cool way to satisfy everyone
I think, because it makes the game evolve according to these players.
Because as I said, I have nothing against the wipe, but it was not seen like that at the start.
Also I'm sure it won't be the last wipe, there will be plenty more to come.

#AnotherIdea

 

In my idea, the Aliot system will remain without wipe and continue its adventure.
We could consider (For the lore) that a new ArkShip ship lands on a new system, a system that would initially have no chance of being linked to the Aliot system.
Over time NQ will be able to put in place a mechanism that will aim to build a portal between these two systems, when the new system will be more mature.
Besides, the construction of this portal could be done by players' contributions to this project.
This will allow the new system to live these beginnings quietly and then to be linked to Aliot.
Of course, this mechanism could be set up ad infinitum, which could give new players a great opportunity, without hurting the old ones.

Hi, 

 

I love this game, but like any time-consuming game, a reset feels like a waste of time feeling.
Personally I have nothing against a wipe, but as Star Citizen I am preparing for this, except on Dual Universe I had gone on the principle of a no wipe.
So whether you do it or not is not a problem, please warn the players beforehand, and not give information that changes every month.
Make a list at the start, respect this list and make this game on this way, if it changes all the time this game is more an alpha than a beta.

For my part if the game wipes I will cut my subscription and will surely come back when the game is finished and more mature.
