EG Gunz - Should we wipe?

The title says it.

Poll above and post a reply.

Reasons on why I say YES:
1. Staff Members with staff equips.
There were previous staff members, and they still have their staff items. It'll be too tedious to find every single one of them to remove their items as the database is only a bunch of numbers, even with a command.
Hopefully, no one goes around spamming staff shotguns+ leveling up very quickly:
"PEW PEW" and
everyone goes: "HACKER ZOMG HELP GM!!!!!!!!!!1!"

2. Hackers.
There were also previous times when ExtremeGamers was first launched with Gunz (I did it alone :S)
and there were many hackers.

3. Updates.
There were rarely updates simply BECAUSE I had a really MAJOR exam and if I had failed it, my life would be gone. Seriously. That was probably the reason of Number 2.

4. Anti-Hack.
Vengeance didn't want to give his antihack because he said I stole his source of the website checker.
Erby, if you're reading this, I admit I did for the website checker.
I'm really sorry that I didn't add your name in it, but replaced it with EG.
People might have thought I made it. But it wasn't really for public use.
You were still a developer though. :S
Refer to Number 2

5. Database problem long ago.
It happened a long time ago, when I first started some CMS. There was an exploit in it, and it caused all accounts to have the same info and it wasted my time fixing it. Till now, there are still information.

6. Everyone probably wants a fresh new server.
There were loads of hackers long ago, and they had reached the top of the rankings without a K/D ratio (Kill Death Ratio).
It's just too crazy for them.
I don't really want to keep calling it a BETA, but due to some problems with the staff long ago, I had to keep up with it. It's time to call it a version 1, if possible. (I still have major exams: I wish I could just finish them all.)

7. Reduced EXP Rate after the wipe.
Due to unfairness, the people in the BETA had a higher EXP rate to level up.
It'll be just too boring if everyone leveled up so quickly.
Everyone should have a standardised EXP rate to discourage flames like:

Quote :

MY LEVEL IS HIGHER THAN YOU NOOB

8. New Protection in-game
I don't think I'll get to do this quickly, but still, it'll take some time.

End of my reasons. Hope you got what I meant. (It was in detail.)

Agreed with Linear 100%

I say yes

Same, but I think that the rates shouldn't be normal ijji rates. like maybe 2% or 5% higher.

yes, cuz there are alot of new ppl and wont be fair for em cuz there will be high lvlz to pwn em easily

i say no because with some rates i would be hard to get back where you are

Yes, but think of it like if someone new joined and only high level people are on, he is more likely to never come back.

yes thats exactly wat i said

Lol, wow. I missed that completely! Sorry about that man. But still think that the exp rates should be just LOWERED not set to ijji's

lowered nah, it shud be 30x or 35x

>_> that is what it is like right now.
Beta testing=High exp rates
Non-Beta=Low exp rates

maybe like x10 max and x3 min.

ill change to 35x prob

wat! why so high? I thought the point of this was to keep the exp rates down so we prevent high lvl pwning low lvls.... at least make it x20 if you have to have it high.

we will wipe

Leave the exp rates at they were before, they were fine.

what were they before?

leave them at 40x

um iight

Nooo iTuff screw that lol. They were 20x Legends.

ill ask linear

i agree we need a fresh start

Yeah, x20 for exp rates.

I think great idea for the start.

im outvoted 100% but i still think this shouldnt be wiped, i mean, yeah, im lv 70, but i cant go any higher, even at these ridiculous rates (mabee 20X later) but i still want my char, you can set us back like 10 levels, but it took me forever to get where i am, and all but 3 of my items were won by me, i would really like to not be wiped, even though i know its one against the rest, so i guess ill just have to work back at it, if the host computer gets off the global malware list, its annoying, also, have they been wiped allready because i can't log into gunz even though it's up and i see people in it...

Well we're wiping.

EXP Rate changed to 20x (for battles but not for quests).
DB has been wiped.
