[Official Poll] Would you want a Closed Beta wipe?

[Cenzton]

I guess I'm the first yes on the poll, but I have very good reasons as to why.

1) It allows us to wipe our own kingdoms to re-make them into more efficient machines. I know a lot of people wish they could move buildings because they didn't understand how stuff worked at first, myself included, and would love to be able to restart.

2) There's nothing worse than coming into a game that just started and having a billion people much more powerful and built up than you. We, as original testers, will already have the benefit of know how things work, that alone should allow us to surpass newer players, but at least the ones starting up when open beta/live hits, they will at least feel like they're starting on equal footing.

3) I have a feeling that there will be changes made that will make stuff that we know to be true today invalid tomorrow. When something like that happens, we'd wish we could get refunds on buildings, units, etc... At least, I hope that's the point of closed beta, to figure out what works and what doesn't, and make those changes before open beta hits.

To this day, I haven't actually heard any good reason to not have a wipe, and frankly, "because I don't want to lose my stuff" just doesn't cut it.

I would not mind a wipe, but I would go more towards the option to Restart but keep your current lvl and gems.

Negative! My city is beautiful without a wipe and took me long enough to learn the ropes. Long enough equals 2 days. There is no true advantage to a wipe since we'll be asked the same million questions as everyone asks daily. Keep it as it is if possible IMO

I've worked hard to get to lvl 17 +
Yes I made mistakes, but I worked to resolve them just like everyone else, its part of the testing to make mistakes (and the game).
By the way the CB users will have an unfair advantage either way with or without the wipe over the OB users.

i voted no wipe, however i would prefer a third option, because i think beta testers should always be rewarded in someway.. yet the lead we'd have on others is so huge... so i'd rather a wipe, but then given a three day early pass to start before the non beta testers... as like a reward for testing.. Pretty much we'd all be about lvl 17 which is a pretty good lead, but not too much (plus some gem rewards would be nice as well )

It would be nice to be able to start over at the same time as everyone else. I know personally i started about 2 and a half days behind the first wave and i feel like there isn't really a way to bridge that gap. I also like the idea of actually being able to organize my town efficiently.

As long as there will never be another wipe (that "open beta" means the game is now officially live) then a wipe might be good. I really like that idea of a one time button kingdom reset for those that want it.

[Warflex]

Will there be a way to change the player avatar in the future? I don't like mine and the only reason I want a wipe is because I will have to remake my account to change it.

[Lancelot]

I would like the wipe. now that you know how the game works and the ratios for resources (cutters - sawmills - foresters)... it would make it better

[Vendayn]

I voted yes. For one, new people will probably be very discouraged about joining a game (especially a strategy one), where there are people already built up. I guess one could argue that if they join a year after closed beta, they are still at a disadvantage...so guess it goes both ways.

I mostly voted yes because closed beta people already get some kind of reward...I think that is good enough. We also get the advantage of knowing what to do, and learning from our mistakes.
