Server downtime 10/18/11

[MasterLFD]

Well we should be back up 2nite or early morning if all goes well! That dev post deff insinuated that their working on it! By working on it im thinking that's because they replaced the hardware already! While starting the replacement of data with nothing like (WIPE), i would do the same if i was in their position specially if it elimated 24hrs of downtime and a 50/50 chance of helping not likley. NEW is always BETTER then OLD "(NPH)" !!!!!

Which dev post?

I see a couple popular crafters lurking / posting, just curious what their thoughts are about the possibility of starting from scratch as opposed to continuing on with server best resources and the like.
(do i really have to type the full disclosure statement about knowing it doesnt matter what anyone thinks or says, they will do what they do regardless. well nvm, i just typed it..)

Hey odelay, in terms of a wipe, I won't say whether I'm pro/con wipe, I'd rather just say "que sera, sera" - whatever will be will be. I'm relatively easy-going, and to be honest I get excited when a new server-best resource spawns on liberator, and I have yet to experience on emu the release of a new server. Drogo

A few things to consider if we have a wipe...

1. No buffs for a while. Even if we get a few folks hitting master doc, the resources are going to suck for at lease a few months.
2. Armor and weapons are going to suck for a long time too. The good resources to make these are also going to take quite a while to all spawn.
3. Good drops will also be in short supply because the people that would normally farm them will not have the gear to do so.
4. All the good leveling/noobie spots are going to be over crowded which will turn into the survival of the fittest and cause lots of drama.
5. PVP will be nonexistent for quite a while with the exception of any dev run events.

As one of the few Armorsmiths making high end Wookiee Hunting armor, I just want to play. I don't want a wipe, but I don't see the point in waiting for days to recover data we know we are going to loose anyway. Liberator is supposed to be a fun server with no support. Whats fun about not having the server, and how is 2 days of data recovery no support?

Also, why can't they atleast bring TCNova online? There are things that I could be testing.

To each their own I guess.

Wipe it all, Lets all start from scratch. We will have to get used to it anyway when the servers go live anyway. Practice Practice Practice!

What we call the beginning is often the end.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.

I bet that is the feeling for most crafters. I was just getting my resources together to start, so aside from the grind, I suppose I am where I was at anyways, aside from having the ability to purchase quality resources. I think I will enjoy having the opportunity to start on par (resource wise, not skill wise) with the rest of the server if that is what happens.

There would be more pvp witha wipe then there is now .
I only go by what happened on live. tho
Not lik there is pvp now anyways.

As of right now Im at 100% servers best....so for me it would be somewhat of an adventure to start over...then again no t21s for a few months makes me shutter....kinda double edge but Drogo said it best whatever will be will be.

lol i just paid for a new suit of custom armor too hahahaha!!!! Well, if they wipe then so be it. At least we will get houses and player cities..... am I right?

Not necessarily. More likely that it would just be a wipe of characters, items credits etc, and the continued use of the same Liberator code.
