As we all know there have been some major and minor issues with the economy and other exploits that have really affected the players on all three servers. Cryptic is trying to solve some of these issues while trying to maintain a viable game and continue to gain revenue. The subject of how to solve these issues has created some interesting arguments in the forums. Many players call for a complete wipe, using the argument that after all this is Open/Beta and they have the right to do so as indicated in the agreements we have all signed off on, (ie the ULA) They continue their argument by saying that there is no other way to really correct the current economic issues from the exploits. A three day roll back for a problem that has plagued them for many weeks is a band aide on mortal wound. The flip side of the coin is reflected by those players that feel they have invested time into the game and don't want that time and effort wiped away. Some of those same players feel that a full wipe would only reward the exploiters in breaking the economy enough that Cryptic was forced to wipe. Both arguments hold merit. So here is my solution.
1. Merge all three servers as Cryptic has indicated they had wanted to do.
2. Do not implement a wipe on these servers.
3. Make the three combined servers the unofficial test server.
4. On release, create more servers for those who want to play with an economy that is not corrupted.
My two cents.
