Database Wipe
 

I regret to inform you all that the FusionFall database has been wiped, meaning that everybody’s characters have been deleted. However, characters that are made during the upcoming open beta are going to be kept. So, even though you have to start over, don’t fret, as you’ll be able to play the open beta and get back to where you were before the official launch.

I mentioned that here yesterday, but okay, if you want to start a whole new thread for it. However CAN we get back to where we were before? Your first post in the open beta thread suggested that it will be the free, limited version only. How can they let everyone play the unlimited version and then revoke all that extra stuff come launch day if they hadn't paid? It seems odd.

Well, most likely it will be the unlimited version, because they are giving a lot of time to play. On the day of launch, the people who didn't pay will still be on the same level, but they wouldn't be able to go to all the areas. They might be in the area they were in for like 3 seconds, then it will take the character to the future area. After all, we had a choice to go to the past. I am sure it will be like this because in another game called Wizard 101, i was in open beta, it was the unlimited version, then when the launch date came and we had to pay, I started out in the starting city. I was the same level, but i couldn't go to the areas that I was in from open beta. Hope that helps :D

Thanks for the info...

But apparently if you don't pay you can only have 4 nanos, and getting nanos has so far been the only way I know of to gain levels. So they'll strip away all but the first four nanos, do they also reduce you back to level four?

I wasn’t aware of that. Oh well, it doesn’t really matter.

...Thanks for saying my posts don't matter. :'(

lol, j/k.

They probably won't reduce you. If you were level 15 when the open beta finishes, and didn't pay until March, it wouldn't be fair to start all over again.

Becomes Livid :edmad:

I'm not in the mood for starting over, considering I hate the future zone. I was almost out of it to, and now i have to START OVER. I don't feel like playing any more :(

Not to sound rude, but that's how most beta testing goes. You should never get attached to a beta character as it's just for testing the game. I'm surprised they aren't doing another wipe before launch, really.

The way I look at it is beta is to see if the game has potential, public is playing for real.

I totally agree. Without it, there would be a lot more conflicts than before.

I don't know if it's just me, but the performance has improved (the only real complaint is still having an issue with the audio cutting off randomly (that may be a problem with the Unity Web Player)). I believe they've made some minor changes to the game visually. I'm now in the past, so for those that wondered if he/she can play past the Future missions, it appears that you can do that. Oh, and I still don't have my character's name. :P

Agreed, and I've said the same thing elsewhere. I'm really surprised at how offended some people are about the wipe.

I for one like the game well enough to not mind starting over. I even intend to make an additional character once I can subscribe.

They also had to wipe things because people had already "beat" the game on the Closed Beta. They didn't want all of those people running around with max level and the best equipment, so they evened the playing field by clearing the slate. People who were accepted into the Closed Beta were able to play the game 24 / 7 for the past several months. I was accepted, but unfortunately, I never got to play that much.

I've decided to start over anyway, and my characer looks exactly the same as before, and with the same name :)! The game is easier for me this time round as I know what I'm doing. The bits that took me about 3 days to complete I did ind about an hour or so. It was a bit of a shame having to start over, but I guess it is really a good thing because it does make it more even for new players on the games launch

This sucked when it happened.
