AfterWorld: Survival - reset players Poll

[JaneSavon]

Survival is the idea place to (finally) make the game an even playing field.

If survival is supposed to be a new, shiny toy for all players - then why not reset all players skills back to skill level 0, empty storage/inventory, give them the standard citizen goods and drop them into QA1 (or scatter them throughout the QA's if there are more than one).

That way, the fresh new world will have a fresh new players - the 'I've been here longer than you so look how skilled I am' bickering disappear for a while (hopefully months if not years); making the world more inviting for new players.

There should be some sort of compensation for the gear that has been erased (maybe convert all manufactured items to their AWD value based on manufacture cost); as well as compensation for skills loss (maybe the skills get converted back to SAU). And of course, the existing societies and members need to stay.

There is even a case for a straight reset ... all those people who have been exploiting bugs to gather unreasonable amounts of skills/SAU/RICs will be wiped from the game in an instant. That, in itself, would be a good enough reason for me to wave bye-bye to all the $$$ and time I have invested in the game.

I think a reset is in order. Everything needs to start fresh in that game if the devs want it to succeed. That way the game is going now is the reason why you wont see people wanting to play it.

Hi everyone, this is my first post

I'm a new player - started to play this game 3 days ago. As much as I would want that everyone would start from beginning (again) I say NO because I already spend atleast 8 hours of gathering stones and I really don't want to start it over again. Can't imagine how would feel players who play this game more than a year.

The most interesting thing what happened in these days was - I was the first who died from Werewolf (137,8 dmg) who managed to pass border and then several people tried to kill it

I am undecided on this one, yes an even playing field would be good, but many players including myself have spent a lot of real life monies and many hours skilling to get to the level we currently are at, if the devs were to reset then we would have to be compensated for our past donations which in itself would probably leave the devs very short of cash to run the servers. Also the devs stated some time ago that no reset would take place, so then we would have a matter of player trust to take into account.

So undecided is where I stand, but another suggestion would be to lower the skill levels of some that are maybe too far ahead of others to make things a little fairer for all. Of course this would also require compensation to those affected.

Also, have you thought about how long it would take the game to really get started again if we were all back in qa1? No cds, no steel picks, no crafters to name a few things that come to mind?

hmmm tbh I would like to see a reset when survival starts!
However nevertheless I think it`s better if the AW Devs don`t do it.
Some of the current players would do everything to destroy the game for other ppl and some of them have the RL ressources to achieve that. I think the AW devs once promised to do no more wipes and I think they better keep the promise or they can say to their current playerbase.
That would most likely give AW the rest.

I voted Yes 'cuz skilling is harder nowadays than it was when skills came, when there were many bugs and exploits. IMO game got fucked up when skills came and devs didn't wipe skills which were got by cheating... and donations became depositions.

I would be more than happy if we would get rid off some of the current playerbase.

Then close the Account of a handfull of Players,
but don't beat all the honest Players in the face.
