Reasons to NOT have a pwipe:
Off the top of my head...
Talking longterm stability in a game vs time invested in it, to show the players your willing to keep it up for the longrun and allow them to invest time and energy into playing it and building the community.
Muds are a niche game, and honestly over the years the interest has been dwindling. Though a few of the younger generation play, overall its us people who grew up playing them who continue to play them. That being said, we are no longer kids with tons of time to spare. The majority of us have careers, families, other focuses. So yes we value the time we place within the game, and many would feel that this close to the last wipe. Why bother?
There really isn't a reason to. No one is max level, quite a bit of content left to experience, and really with the last rollback there is limited damage done due to the bug.
That being said.
Shortly people will already be hitting max level, and no I dont believe we should increase max level, instead we need to get people building and rping. Need to have content added back into the game, yes I understand its an investment of time, but you do have people who are more then willing to be staff/builders/admin, and honestly love this game enough they would be happy to help.
We need progress within DL, and obviously you have passion and vision where you would like to have the game to evolve. But really, till then lets continue to have the game advance, and continue to keep the interests of the players. Which means keep on getting content, get some people interesting in RPing involved with running RP's.
Just some thoughts and feedback. Syl.
