I wonder if people who dont visit forums/discord are aware we’re even discussing wiping out all of their work lmao. Imagine logging on one day after a break with your gleam club going and you log into nothing 
.
This beacon issue isn’t a reason for a wipe. They can turn this off/remove (hopefully) fairly easily
I’m going to attempt to make a list of why a wipe could be beneficial but i may also include how I can do it without a wipe.
-
Fresh start. I like fresh starts. I can perfect my build and redo it the way I want to.
I can do this without a wipe -
The most known communities/portal networks/malls and shop owners may quit/lose interest, allowing new communities/portal networks a chance to thrive in their place.
Can be done without a wipe, maybe a bit harder to get recognition/loyal base of users -
New worlds with better resource distribution, new resources
New worlds can be added at anytime (server cost could be an issue though) -
Experience the early game again. Nostalgia, etc.
Can do this anytime. Delete your beacon/character -
Experience the story again. We don’t have a story/quest system. They could add one but a wipe wouldnt do anything for that. We could easily make a new character/playthrough with our main.
-
The new game+ conversation. As above, there’s no quests that made us choose one way or another so we would not be able to go back and choose another route in Boundless.
-
I don’t like my neighbors.
Move. Start over somewhere else. Same as a wipe -
(I’m trying here) idk…Technical reasons. If technical reasons would be the reason for a wipe I would be more open to it after hearing what the technical reason is.
Anything a wipe would solve can be done without a wipe. Alternatively, a new planet made specifically for wiping could be made, i’ll link the post from a while back with my idea that piggybacked off of @Xaldafax
