    Probably because he makes excellent points and the thread was locked out of blind adherence to forum rules rather than a consideration of productive discussion.

    So I guess you're saying a wipe will help the project?

    Guess it doesn't need to be a wipe, just limit to two characters and removal of ADK. You tell me how you think that should be implemented without a wipe.

    The two characters point in particular, force folks to really work out the details of the niche professions that are currently just alt-bots

    No, you tell me what work you've done on the project's development.

    Zilch. Doesn't reduce the credibility of the criticism, much as I can criticise a football player for making a poor play while simultaneously not being an athlete. The ability to produce content is not the same ability to critique content. The times where such ability precisely aligns is fairly rare and has a special name.

    Wishfull thinking.
    The chances are at least equal that the reduced room for experimentation will force people into cookie cutter builds.
    While the argument keeps stating that we NEED the niches, this is mostly untrue. And what we do need, a very small amount will suffice to saturate the server.

    Also people seem to forget that in live, where one or two character slots allowed for a vibrant and successful economy, those responsible for that economy where running multiple accounts to circumvent that character limitation.
    Something that is currently forbidden.

    The amount of completely "dedicated" crafters, doctors and dancers where not as high as people seem to remember.
    There is no reason to assume they will be today.

    With a bit of luck though, there wont be a wipe. And this is a non-issue right now.
    Probably best for testing purposes. Which is still what Basilisk is for.

    Shame, I was just getting used (and looking forward to) to the idea of a wipe.
