Petition to Repeal the Data Wipe

[Maple]

idek if its possible

[ozy]

Even if it isn’t possible to revert the changes, it is still possible to stop wiping people’s inventories. Once the event ends and players start trading their seasonals to storage accounts is when it becomes too late.

[WarmWater]

why the heck are you trading crap to a “storage account” it’s not midwoken bruh

[Gamer_Doge716]

There’s a data wipe happening? Sorry, I’m kinda out of the loop…

[WarmWater]

some idiots had their valuable items wiped because in the update items that were traded to a file that were a higher level than the file that received them had them wiped

again, why the heck would you trade your random items to an alternate file???

Discussion About Items being Wiped

Recently I have made a post about how hundreds of rare items (sunkens, calvus gear, etc) were wiped from several users inventories, just for their accounts being low lvl and they had items above their level. Again I will be talking about this situation since this seems pretty major and nobody really paid attention to that thread. To catch you up, this was done because exploiters had been using low level alts as essentially dirty-item-laundering banks for their spoils of war (or spoils of being…

Items wiped issue

So recently cause of the lvl 40 you cant trade with them stuff I believe it has affected some items too instead of just cancelling out the you cant trade with low levels A friend of mine and joshiba’s friend have lost a ton of items they stored on alts that were under level 40 (item banks really) All their items that were above lvl 40 just vanished Has anyone else had this same issue? Check your low level accounts banks if you have any This needs to get fixed ASAP. People might of lost tons …

AA all over again

It’s probably so that scammers won’t constantly send trades if you have rare gear on you.

And even if there wasn’t a good reason, it still wouldn’t matter. These are innocent players getting items wiped for little reason (afaik even Vetex hasn’t come out and explained his reasoning for this yet)

There’s a data wipe happening?

In the recent update, a change was made to trading so that you could no longer trade items to a file that was below the level of the item (so for example, you can’t trade a level 100 armor to a level 30 player). However, this led to every file that was below the level of items in their inventory, losing said items. So if you were storing a things like sunkens or boss items level 1 alt account, all these items were lost. According to some members of the staff team losing the items wasn’t a bug, but was instead an intentional ‘fix’ to many sunkens and other items being inflated due to some kind of exploit.

@WarmWater

again, why the heck would you trade your random items to an alternate file???

Trading to an alt is one of the only ways to trade between files on the same account, so I can see why many people would store unneeded/unused items on a bank alt so they can instead use them for other files.

[ThatAsianInTheCorner]

…does it have to be traded items?
or are all higher level items wiped?

[Divanochi]

Since it’s impossible to get items above your level outside of trading, it’s only traded items as far as I’ve heard

[ThatAsianInTheCorner]

@Divanochi

Since it’s impossible to get items above your level outside of trading

items obtained prior to level wipe:

[Divanochi]

Oh shoot, those hadn’t even crossed my mind. In that case I’m not at all sure

[ozy]

It doesn’t help that probably many players from World of Magic haven’t yet returned, since Arcane Odyssey only released a couple months ago.

[swagman334]

this seems pretty stupid it should be repealed

also, common warmwater L

[Waping]

obviously you cant undo the wipe nor can you really lose items anymore since you cant trade overleveled items to players too low for them

[ozy]

@Waping

since you cant trade overleveled items to players too low for them

How would this make undoing the wipe impossible? The developers already have the old code from before the update which they can easily implement into the game.

[Waping]

that part was just about how you cant lose items anymore (since they are already gone and cant trade more)

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)

[ozy]

I see what you’re saying. I’m pretty sure the data wipe occurs once the player joins the game, though, so it should still be possible to revert.

(That is unless Vetex spent the entire two months sifting through the player database to delete every over-leveled item, which I doubt)

• To be able to quickly and conveniently trade around your items across files if you randomly want a certain item
• Inventory can get extremely laggy if you have a large quantity of items
• Some people may prefer to do trading not on their main file; they like to seperate their purposes
• Some people don’t want to be bombarded with bad trades in game
• Can make it way easier to keep track of your valuables and count them
• And many other miscellaneous reasons

actual idiot hours bro. even if you don’t find there a purpose on storing items on a low level file/alt, how does that justify completely randomly wiping items above the file’s level for no good reason, especially when people have been doing this for years in WoM without any issue??
