The wipe is currently slated about 3 weeks from now, around the end of the month, but this also depends on how testing of the new mechanics will go.

I tried to be vague enough here, sorry if it came through as a "hard deadline".

I see what you did there smile  BTW I read that and see 21 days 2 hr 34min 23 secs. So yeah , you were WAY to hard on that timeline..


The truth of the matter is this , they couldn't break into the STC primary gamma and need an excuse to cover over that simple fact.. From all the chest pounding they do you would think 3 weeks would be plenty time to take an island. But these are also the same players that claim how awesome they are for taking betas then 3 weeks later say they wont play until the gamma wipe because without gamma there is nothing to do.. They talk out of both sides of their mouths and sometimes (more often than not) their ***..

I don't like it in the least.. The market should and will dictate how quickly a person (new player) will progress.. The biggest problem lies with the vets that are far to nice / giving with resources. I started this game a year ago and was not in one of the mega corps for the first month.. This allowed me the time to work for what I needed and to get a grasp , albeit a minor one , on what I needed to do and how to go about doing it.. I think it should be on us the players to not ruin the experience for the new comers and leave the code time for more important stuff like , I don't know , fixing the lag that will force new and old players away. Just my .02¢
