Emergency band-aid fix for the item wipe

[OffAndSphere]

If the game detects that the player has played World Of Magic through badges and has not reached Redwake, then it won’t wipe items that are too high level for a level 1 to use (basically everything). This would probably not help many people at this point, but a few checks in the code will not take long to code.

what about just remove that change entirely, its already done what little good it can do and can only be a hinderance and annoyance for players from here on.

@Waping

you cant undo the wipe because its literally a wipe, theres no traces of your items left and even proof wouldnt really do anything as you could have just traded them away at any point (which is literally what these alts were made for so its hard/impossible to prove otherwise)

everyone’s items literally got hit with a thanos snap; seems like hardline demands to revert everything aren’t working

iirc someone said the item wipe script is being left in to make it “fair” so everyone can get hit by the “no high level items on low level files” wipe

[TheoreticalExistence]

I am talking about the change that continues to wipe items above a player’s level/prevent trade.

keeping it “fair” just sounds like somebody making excuses to spite people.

i think it should be possible to remove the “no trading high level items to low level accounts” restriction though, it can coexist with the item wiping script that activates when someone joins for the first time after this update

yeah i got a sunken sword wiped on a file i had from wom that i had completely forgot about

i found the quote saying the item wipe code won’t be removed from the game

@Maple

it would only be possible to remove the code that does it, however that would be unfair to those who lost their items even more as people who havent yet joined get to keep them. its too late to turn back now, so everyone just has to cope with it somehow. thankfully, seasonals cant be wiped since they have no level, and everything that has been wiped can be farmed back eventually.

@OffAndSphere

make it “fair” so everyone can get hit by the “no high level items on low level files” wipe

its just my opinion

[Tylerspore1]

What was exactly the point of this change in the first place?

Though this solution is a good idea regardless, doesn’t matter if its unfair to those who was effected by this, as that is saying “we suffered, so others have to suffer too”
