I would be totally fine with a wipe. Too many creds floating in the market anyways. It will slow down the torrent of Jedi that are about break upon Basalisks shores. It would hopefully reduce the number of the AFK farmers
with top notch 10-20mil cred weapons. Open up the chance for people other than those that are already estabilished to run a city(I have always wanted too but never been able too).
Wipes are not a terrible thing especially during large transition patches in games. Imo they breath fresh life into a game. Though a new hdd depending on size shouldnt be too expensive unless its a specialized hdd but yeah.
I wish I could donate more than my two cents but I am poor lol...

Best of luck SWGEMU Team and you will have my support and thanks no matter what happens with this situation...
