Im against data wipe :3In my opinion the new server would definitely come, because they have the server selection interface ready for it and everything.
And since official release will be to just SEA countries first for who knows how long, even there was a wipe during launch the same headstart issue would happen because other countries like USA can't play. However, I just don't think the new server should come too soon, like straight after closed beta, because the player base is still so small and from this topic alone many CBT Testers including me have nothing against a wipe and fresh start for everyone during the SEA launch. In fact, I have never seen a single comment from any CBT Tester who is against the wipe, everyone was just merely trying to understand the developer's point and embracing whatever comes.
I'm quite interested to know what direction this CBT will be leading to, but I guess we'll have to wait for the announcement.
Dear Ryozanki, is there a possibility we can know it soon? or a guestimated time?
Meanwhile, just don't bash on each other or the admins too much, we all want the same thing which is success of the game and a big, healthy community.
After CBT, they can do a event where new players get a XP boost/Gold boost for a week or so along with maybe a equipment drop rate as well.
Theres really no huge advantage gained by playing the cbt unless ofcourse you are a heavy spender. But in thats true for all games.
