[quote="HENDRIX"]Since the server has had a heart attack and isnt quite working properly now, in the off chance for some strange reason the only fix was to wipe all characters and start the server a fresh, who would still play?? Now I know ALOT of people say if a wipe happened they wouldn't, but let's be honest who ever really stays away from soma for too long? I also know this wont happen it is just hypothetical but I myself would welcome a server wipe and a slow down on rates to make things interesting again and stop these +8 flying around everywhere. Would deffo make gvw more competitive without the one guild dominance we have atm. Then again, would only be a matter of time before we got into the same state again I guess... [/quote]

[quote="ALBION"]I would. I like what the legend of mir community does, there is always one high rate server and one low rate server running at any given time. I'd play both servers if that were the case. A low rate server with level 100 cap and the original dex slow at 95 would be awesome. [/quote]

[quote="WOLF8"]what heart attack has it had and what isn't quite working?[/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]If the so called heart attack is referring to the recent patch which by all accounts is to help stop the spread of the cheaters ie botters then the glitches, bugs etc will be fixed over the course of the next few days or asap. There will never be a wipe, The question should be, do you want a bug free game at the moment and let the cheating botters ruin this great game or put up with a few bugs, glitches etc and prevent the botters from ruining the game anymore?[/quote]

[quote="WOLF8"]oh wasn't aware... good to hear of this patch[/quote]

[quote="PHARMA"]there is always a few teething problems when theres an update. when new armour and weapon tiers come in most of the current +8's etc will be of less and less use except for PVE hunting. so it always levels itself out eventually[/quote]

[quote="WOLF8"]would be interesting to see a new second server, as well as this one.. set at esoma rates of levelling, but a £4.99 donation a month would enable permanent rested, for 28 days .. so slower than this, but 2x qwikker than esoma.. money for gm's and server upkeep.. would give some options for the gm's in all respects.. see what's what kinda thing ( sign me up ) ;p[/quote]

[quote="CRIXUS"]Yeah me too, if reduced effectiveness on toes/ss or recoil cap. Maybe lvl 50 cap at launch with a cap raise of 15 lvls every 6 months. Would need no new content for 2+years 👌 Nb. Am completely happy with the current server, Dan and Fin doing a great job. Hypothetically though yes I would still play.[/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]+1 to a character/item/guild wipe at the next reasonable juncture ^^[/quote]

[quote="CAPRICORN"][quote="HENDRIX"] Then again, would only be a matter of time before we got into the same state again I guess... [/quote] This. The server has been up for 7 years, +8 weapons are bound to fly around. If they didn't, then only the hardcore players would put up with the drop rates long enough to even have anything close to +8. All the casual players that allow trading to thrive would quickly leave. Hypothetically, it's a nice idea but it wouldn't accomplish anything that the server that is up now hasn't already accomplished. [/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]I guess thats the thing isnt it, it would have to be the next "iteration" of the Soma server, fixes, redoing things they wish they had done. E.g Maybe never having lifted the dex cap quite so high, or making hit/miss with evasion / accuracy not so disparate. Recoil limits per weapon type. Things like that.[/quote]

[quote="KAZOKU"]i would but would want to see some tweaks to go with it For example, hsoma swift spirits deleted to limit recoil more Magic procs limited to 2 type only(aswell as somthing to help mages cast more vs interupts) Id also like to see somthing done so u not lost out stat wise if u do somthing other than bow/axe ect[/quote]

[quote="WOLF8"]there's lots of players around.. who put the hours in.. haven't bought, cheated or botted and would quite like a chance to restart. No need for any wipes, but a restart on a new server from 0 ..with some anti-bot/ cheat shennanigans and a monthly donation on slower rates i think would be a good idea.. Good for many reasons... including some £'s for the server/ gm/ input and furthering updates. Must be many ppl have quit because impossible to catch up with mr paypal and it's soma associates on this server. A fresh start and new server doesn't have to mean the end of this, but maybe a breath of life into a new start for those who wish, and a bit more investment for any future advancements the gms may wish to implement. Lots of ppl would proly moan at a new server with a donation mainly necessary.. but i'd think it would proly become the place to be. As said above, can be no criticism of gms .. only criticism of players and abuse that many have used. Gm's done a great job with all the improvements. Shame some players have abused that.[/quote]

[quote="AGUILAR"]first of all +1 on this server and the effort put into it but yes i would continue playing after server wipe and hope to have these issues looked at: - limit upgrades on weps to +5 - sucks that after someone feathers you lose contact with a bow and need retarget - remove current 5th stone which ruins pvp with all the high mages and there insane proc gear but you wont hear me complain thow ... :)[/quote]

I was simply trying to start a convo to see peoples views on a potential wipe. I know it will never happen.. Of course I would prefer the game with no bots etc and the bugs are expected I never once moaned at the situation just started a friendly convo.. I fully appreciate the effort put into this server as I really enjoy playing and I know the issues will be fixed in due course. Like you say I will happily sacrifice a few days of playing for a better server, a few people are still able to play but it is currently unplayable for myself which is a shame as I had planned a good few hours last night and today but it is what it is. All for the better of the server (Y)[/quote]
