Confirmed: no wipe!

From the official twitteromgitzslashgame I see people saying "wipe" -- do you mean like a complete, beginning-of-time wipe? I can guarantee that won't happen.

No surprise there, I've been saying it all along too.
A wipe has far too many nasty implications for PWE's economy, and that's faaar more important than NWO's economy

LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
Not sure what positive effect that would have on the game. So why would they?

I am one of them. But only if it also means they fixed all those exploitable problems, at least as much as they possible can be expected to.
This from their Twitter:
Nobody will be losing any real money, least of all PWE
All characters gone, all AD gained gone, all Zen spend refunded. Basicly how servers are the moment they are turned on the very first time.
From the start of this incarnation of "beta".
Or essentially when this version of the game went live and people could start playing.

Ok,thank's for answer's.
So we could still have a rollback.

I see this as the only solution.
Anything else will just not fix it .

There's been a massive exploit that has practically destroyed the game's economy.
They need to not only do a complete wipe, they need to treat it like an actual open beta and fix all the exploits then do ANOTHER complete wipe when they are finally ready to call the game "released".
That's not going to happen though...
Why in hell should there be a wipe, people are jelous on this exploiters which are already 60? Who cares if they are, like a wipe changes anything.
So so many people complaining about wipes in many games. Seriously this is the most useless thing I have ever seen.
While a wipe would be the best bet for them from a brand satisfaction standpoint, they have backed themselves into a corner by the whole beta/live cash store double blind.
If they don't wipe most of the exploit gains remain and their brand takes a pretty major hit
If they do wipe they must do a line by line audit of every transaction of the game to ensure that legitimate customers get refunded for wiped digital purchases...that's a lot of man-hours
or they could go for option C and do a wipe with no refund at all and hope they have enough of a paying player base on the other side
They are more or less in a loose/loose scenario and they put themselves in it.
I assume you are referring to the AD duping? There are about 6 other massive exploits that have been effecting the economy for a while now that still aren't fixed too.
Yes, but this one is bigger, badder, quicker and easier.
It wouldn't be hard, if you go to your wallet for Zen at PWE they show every transaction of transferring Zen to Neverwinter. They just need to revert those Zen back. All of your Zen for money purchases are easily confirmed.
said it in the other thread and i say it here. a wipe would make a lot of people to quit the game. one of them is me. just made it to 60 with my mage and the cleric is 54. i cant be bothered to lvl those chars again. and i don't care about the fake ad in the game now. just wipe the ad or w/e if u want.
Yeh, 5 devs going through about 10,000,000 zen transactions one by one is a simple task.
It isn't about people leveling...there was a massive auction house exploit that went public (and thus extremely widespread) over the last 24 hours and the result was the creation of billions upon billions of AD out of thin air. The economy has now been completely ruined.
