The purge was super messed up with the chapter 3 sorcery update. A lot of people had issues with it. It would crash and I almost lost all my stuff, including legacy items from server transfers. However, I typically dodge the purge as I don’t like my stuff messed up. That’s why I said

Lol… but seriously though… you should build with the purge in mind if you plan to face it. A box base on PvE is just lazy and should be done only as a placeholder or small starter base you plan to tear down and rebuild appropriately. That’s my opinion. I know others will disagree, but I like to admire unique builds. Too many haphazardly built designs and box bases make official servers a horrible experience. Noobs see them from “experienced” players and they emulate it. I’ve seen this on multiple servers. the server @Coyote0903 and I are on has them less often from veterans and you see the difference as newer players that stay a while often rebuild nicer. Not always, but often. Meanwhile other servers it’s all you see for the most part. Coyote’s base is by no means a box base in the slightest, yet he loves the purges and builds almost solely for getting them. It can be done, but people choose not to oftentimes.
