Why is there going to be a wipe?
We are making substantial changes to the world, gear and crafting progression, along with combat skills for Verse 3, and we cannot deploy those changes without a wipe. This wipe is also a good opportunity to remove all inactive plots and “ghost towns”.When will we know more about the actual coming changes?
We are planning a series of spotlights that will be published in the weeks leading up to the release of Verse 3. Stay tuned for all the details!What is being wiped?
We are doing a very wide wipe, which means that:- The world geography will change, and there will be more Heartlands (aka Home Valleys) per Province.
- Your placed plots will be removed.
- All your belongings on your plot and in your inventory will be removed.
- All the gear worn by your character will disappear.
- Clans will be wiped and will need to be recreated.
- All character combat skills will be reset.
- Crafting skills may be partially or fully reset. This is still being discussed, and we will provide more details as soon as possible.
LIST PER REGION
EU: Mimir US: Apollo SEA: NuaduWhat compensation do we get as players?
We know a major wipe like this might make some players think twice about coming back and testing the newly added features and revamped world. As such, we plan to compensate you in several ways. First of all, as per previous wipes, we will use the redeeming queue to compensate for the items you’ve accumulated in the game. Due to the extensive changes to the game economy in this update most, if not all, items will be converted into the resources from which they were crafted (assuming the resource still exists in the new economy). We aim to compensate for all types of items:- All furnishings that were on your plots.
- All components used to make building pieces and crafting stations that were placed on your plots.
- All items stored in containers placed on your plots.
- All processing crafters on your plots and the materials for each task. Only the materials placed in the crafters will be returned - the output will not be returned, even if the task is completed.
- All items in market stalls will be returned to sellers.
What will happen when Verse 3 is released and maintenance is over?
Once the content update is fully deployed:- The world will have changed, so you’ll need to find a new location for your plot(s). We’ll try to publish the updated maps as early as possible.
- Your character will keep their name and appearance, but when logging in for the first time:
- They’ll be “naked” as if they were a newly created character.
- They won’t be part of a clan anymore.
- They’ll need to choose a new name if their initial name is already taken, as it will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
- All compensated materials will be available in your redeeming queue, except for items that have been removed from the game with this content update.
- You will need to recreate your clan and invite all members again.
