Basilisk extended downtime 08/09/2017

Would have been better to wipe it now instead of Suncrusher wipe later. Its one of the reasons im not doing the Jedi grind just yet.

No, no it wouldn't. It would be the exact opposite of better. It would be not better.

Wipe it.. wipe it good

ok so this cracked me up.. as do most of your posts, but could you tell us why it would be bad?

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.

You can prove anything with facts!

Same reason why we wouldn't allow anything from Basilisk to be carried over to Suncrusher. I mean, do you really want overpowered ADK'd items that were maybe product of some bug or an exploit that existed during the testing stage to carry over to a permanent play server? Or bazillions of credits that are already ruining the economy? No, everything that happens on test servers must die with those test servers. When we launch a permanent play server, everyone needs to be on even ground and have equal chance so succeed.

Got to agree with this.

First I was scared about a wipe because all time and Items were gone... but if I read this I realy think that a wipe would be a great restart...
