the Devs are making adjustments in prep for new worlds⌠most of the charts in the OP are out-of-date now, im sorry. the Portal Seekers seem to be on top of this ^^
Edit;
Normally i would be all over this⌠but, due to a recent loss in the family, Iâm taking a bit of time off to recover.
Yeah it looks like they are both now 3, I must have been caught when worlds were being moved. Thanks for the update.
Sorry to hear that.
It was changed about a week and a half ago yes, hence the new table =D. For example this portal was opened on Thursday (3 days ago)
I myself have made two portals from Therka to munteen both over a week old and only 6 blocks O.o
yeah thank you devs really handy this new link between therka and solum 
I feel like the size of Vulpto making the red gleam icon the biggest is somewhat of a tease. 
I guess hopefully, this mean Therka, Septefon, and Alturnik are going to have 1 jump connections to the new planets? Itâd certainly help make the latter two more popular.
Hopefully the new planets means an ACTUAL live environment WIPE. We need that so much to really balance the game and show where the problems are. It has been way too long since the previous wipe and so many people donât get the real impressions on how the game is because they have high level characters, portals everywhere, etc.
I donât think there will be a wipe, then another wipe at release.
I would expect them to add planets without a wipe this time around. But if we do not have a real wipe MANY months before 1.0 it would be a huge mistake. There is no other way to truly balance the game for 1.0 than to give everyone a fresh start and have many patches fixing the balance problems that exist right now.
I thought the idea was, to keep what was built as a museum of sorts. So there isnât a wipe planned just a freeze as it were, and the planets put into stasis for the release.
I do agree it would be a good idea to plant several people on a standalone galaxy and have them test what its like starting from scratch. Maybe have a test for exactly that. Drop a load of people into the environment, that choose to go and see what happens. It would also be a good way to test private servers.
The trouble with any of these ideas is Xaldafax, unless there are new players in on this test, it would be impossible to get an idea of what release will be like. WIthout the portal system it will be very different for new players.
Whilst you may be correct in theory, imagine how many vets youâd lose by doing it. I canât imagine thereâd be many whoâd be willing to rebuild and then rebuild again a few months later.
Thought tbh if people wanted to test the release, they could do that with a dry run a few weeks before hand. Put the planets into stasis, set everyone to start on the new worlds and then wipe the start two weeks afterwards for the proper one. That is if people wanted that approach to see if anything needed tweaking but again vet players are not the same as new players.
We know to go get silver as soon as poss and head to a high tier world, dig down and beacon. Now there is the concern of atmosphere so leveling for it is a stepping stone but thatâs it. Once you are beaconed underground, get the mats for a portal setup and then it begins.
I predict a makeshift portal network (nothing pretty) of some core planets 2 weeks after release, tops.
No point in wipes before all the core features are in.
EDIT: That is kinda what testing is there for too.
I agree⌠I think many things are done around here to not â â â â of the âfan boysâ. If people had the best interest in the game they would be willing to restart over because they want the game to be successful.
Well we have had a lot of ânew playersâ come in and talk about things and get beaten up by the fanboys. But in fairness to the fanboys they are coming from a mindset of the game like they play it.
If we give everyone a wipe then we can reset everyoneâs mindset in the best way possible. Not perfect but certainly gives everyone the ability to at least look at the game with a fresh set of eyes. Or the possibility to.
Part of the draw, for me personally, is knowing what I build now is going in permanent stasis. I am all for starting again, but losing the 300 hours and that is relatively low compared to a lot of folks, isnât appealing. Iâd be willing but wipe, then wipe again a few months later seems unnecessary.
I would totally be willing to be put on a private server cluster with some portal builders and see how long it takes us to build a portal network however, iâd consider that challenge fun and a test run.
Oh yeah I would want that saved.
I no way mean it needs to happen NOW. I just mean we MUST have one way before 1.0 so we can balance it correctly. They could easily save the current world as the âone we keepâ and make the next one be saved too or just let it go.
I honestly think a wipe would be a travesty at this point⌠how do you wipe:
Therka Market
Pixel Gate
City of Steam
Aquatopia
Gemporium
Black Light
Ranfaure
Man the magnificent and beautiful builds that have taken months to make⌠And you think it should just be wiped off the map because why???
Even at release for what reason does a wipe make sense??? To me Release is this bad word, its the word that threatens a total wipe of everything for no really good reason at allâŚ
I wish the game would just continue on as it is now because there is nothing wrong with the game the way it is right now its awesome!!! As far as I am concerned its already released, and why do you need to do a wipe for release what good does that do???
