    Because Basilisk is essentially 2 things:

    1) A giant database.

    2) A long-term stress test.

    If you remove the data from the database (I.e. wipe), you undermine the ability to stress the database under long-term extreme conditions. The more data kept for the longest time possible allows for the most rigorous test of the server, which is what Basilisk is - a test server.

    I spent 35 years of my career designing and analyzing 3-dimensional relational databases in the "Pick" environment. It has been my experience that if your code is unstable it will become obvious pretty quickly, usually within a few weeks. If your db is still uncorrupted after 6 months you can sleep well at night, if it's still solid after 18 months you are wasting your time by worrying about it and should be working on other aspects of your project. How long has it been since Basilisk was last wiped ? Several years I believe…

    It's time to clear out the junk from the past and give your testers (and your db) a fresh start.

    There have been multiple instances of bugs on Basilisk that have only been caught because of data well over a year old.

    Let me guess, that was data converted from an older database format and not data produced by the current code.

    So do we know if we have to start over yet, or everything is okay.

    We do not know anything yet, as the devs have not updated us yet. They are probably busy looking at the code and doing all they can at this point.
