Scheduled TC:Nova Wipe & Object Restructure Launch 9/30/10

[dookar]

I have a question cuz Im a noob. Will the OR be a permament server where as our characters will not be wiped clean anymore or will it still be a test server where we can still expect these things from time to time?

The OR is the new code to be tested. As such, there will be wipes. Often and many. These wipes will continue until such time as it is deemed that Pre-CU has been fully (minus some bugs and JTL) achieved, at which point the Test Center will be retired and 1.0 will be launched.

as a noob also, so there isn't a way to save the toons when updating the server with new code?

No...

The entire database will be wiped:

* All Characters
* All Inventories
* All Auctions/Banks
* All Datapads (includes vehicles/waypoints/etc)
* All Resource Spawns

It's not about saving toons during a code update, it's that it's easier to test things with a fresh database, toons, resources and spawns included. :P

They said blue frogs will be added in the beginning so you will have a chance to recreate your toons skill tree, which to me sounds awesome! We are being given a chance to recreate or start over.

People we are the lucky ones here that are helping to test out a game that is literally rewriting and creating MMORPG history!
Trust me I know, I am a gaming development student at Devry and I wrote a thesis on Emulators and it's development that got me a A+.

NOVA will always be a test center, and yes there will be wipes.

Awesome news. I'm installing from disks now, patiently awaiting instruction for tests.

The OR has been a long time coming; I personally think it was worth the wait. And maybe now I can get out of General more to see and participate in more worthwhile discussion.

[dookar]

Ok thanks. I am so excited this project has come so far. I have heard about this for quite a while but just logged in for the first time a couple weeks ago and was thrilled to have the old swg back. Cant wait to play creature handler again one day.

THANK YOU DEVS!!!!!

and to the ones who cry about the wipe: You can consider playing WoW or NGE if you want but a TEST Center will be packed with buggy code for testing, then the bugs will be eliminated one by one until the code is clean and then: WIPE -> next TESTINGphase with new buggy code and so on and so on and so on and.....

anyway I now have time 'til Thursday to unlock Jedi or die tryin....but hey i see many locations that way, many beautiful locations I have to say XD
