If there has to be a wipe...
Yuri Gorlinski
How about a stat/skill wipe where our characters are reset to their
starting values, leaving possessions, property, and the world intact?
That way the people who have been playing the game as it was intended
won't lose everything, the people who went red too early will remain
red, and the people who did nothing but macro up their stats/skills
will be starting from scratch. And OGD would be able to keep our
boat, house, and guildstone, which is all that really matters anyway.

The whole stat/skill thing is a non-issue to me... They are all
relatively easy to raise via conventional methods if you put the
work in. I don't see any need to wipe the shard on account of
stat/skill imbalances because these things tend to sort themselves
out with time anyway... But, if there has to be a wipe, why not
just wipe the stats and skills?

support it. I mean, the only "exploit" that can truly be complained about
is macroing. This would fix that exploit. Arguably, wealth gained by those
skills wouldn't be fixed, but I don't really mind since it would mean OUR
wealth doesn't go bye-bye either... :p

The way I figure it, the people who have been wasting a good portion
of their time macroing haven't had a chance to accumulate nearly as much
wealth as the people who went out and started earning from the beginning,
so I don't really see this as an issue.

Not exactly. So far as I can tell, people usually go after the
tailors and tailor guildmistresses for their sandals. I shit you not.
Sandals.
I think Smeds was talking about the poison spell and escorting as
two different 'cheap' tactics for earning gold. I don't believe he
was suggesting that you should combine the two, although that might
explain why I haven't seen him in Skara Brae recently.

Yep. And a couple weeks ago I saw someone assassinating a couple
of tailors on Sonoma recently, it was actually rather amusing...

You should of seen what TWH used to do to those guys... At times it
got quite messy.

If it does, they should probably move it to the First Bank of Britain.
Could do a lot more good there...
