I suppose PvE NA tends to get overcrowded then. PvE EU is giving me no issues at all in finding a spot somewhere. I’ve happily only recently claimed spots such as Asura’s Basin on Siptah and the area overlooking Brimstone Lake next to Warmakers Sanctuary, my other playthroughs seem to have some of my favorite areas available as well. All of it PvE EU. ---

Said I was going to do this. Some F word trying to tell me what I think is a big trigger. > [@Taemien](#): > > You had 6 years to find a server that wipes on the schedule you wish. You didn’t even bother to look. Your actions say you don’t want a wipe. Just as your actions to choose not to play on the wiping servers say you didn’t. First up, apparently you confused public; official, with private. The only actual public servers are the officials. Hope that clears up your confusion. There are no officials that wipe. So please tell me how I’m supposed to find something that doesn’t exist? > [@Taemien](#): > > You may say you want to play on servers that wipe, you may believe you want to play on them. But the truth is you don’t. Who the fornication do you think you are to try to tell me what I think? 🤬 > [@Catastrofus](#): > > PvE EU is giving me no issues at all in finding a spot somewhere. I didn’t say there wasn’t open spots to build, at this time. But as more people come on and start the serial refreshing the more crowed the servers get. And since in my opinion half the issues with the official servers is over crowding… Most of the time my ping to the EU hinders play. > [@Raudl](#): > > kind of cheap response, Not really, most people forget that is a double edged sword 😉 > [@Raudl](#): > > I’m actually not even against the idea of regular wipes, say with each new age and so on, but do that with new servers exclusively… If they fired up new public servers with annual wipes I’d abandon the server I’m on and never look back. The biggest issue I see is hording. And much like hoarding in RL will ruin a house, hoarding in a game will ruin a server; IMO. ---

> [@Irkalla](#): > > As an added thing, if the server wipe would reset characters, then event recipes and other limited time recipes and schematics should be made account bound instead of character bound like bazaar purchases and twitch drops. I was in favor in this, but no longer. If these are made account bound, then there is absolutely no reason to do any of the content. All you would need to do is spawn in whatever recipes/fangs/coins you want. At that point, there is no reason to do anything. It’s not unlike God mode, where there is no need to learn how to navigate the world. Rewards are only rewards when completing a task. As to your suggestion to wipe servers, no thank you. I have several old school thralls that are no longer available on any server. Many years ago, thrall appearance and clothing were changed for a quite a few NPCs, and wiping them out would be a travesty. Plus, I would be far less likely to start over again and again. I don’t even want to start another character to join friends on a private server. ---

> [@Kikigirl](#): > > I’m divided on PVE, yearly sounds reasonable but is CE even going to Official servers long enough for multiple yearly wipes? Most players don’t even last a year. A yearly wipe wouldn’t benefit anyone and only piss off the longtime players that are actually playing the game. Few people serial refresh for years. It’s pointless. I go in spurts of not playing as much, but I still play. Right now I’m playing less and refreshing my servers. Next update, I’ll likely be playing more, especially if they fix more bugs. My philosophy? Report the serious offenders and wait out the newbies that’ll be gone in a few months anyway. ---

> [@speedice](#): > > and wiping them out would be a travesty. That is actually an opinion. BUT, it’s not like funcom couldn’t add them to the prisoners you release after a purge. None the less I’ve never been a fan of game content being that unique. As I’ve said I have no issue with funcom adding the battle pass content back in to the game some how; I’m thinking steam DLCs of the chapters. > [@speedice](#): > > I would be far less likely to start over again and again. I have no idea how many times I have started from scratch in this game. Couple dozen easy. But that really is a difference in game philosophies. Once I get to the end what is there to do? Now with Conan there has always been some changes updates additions that made restarting worth it. As I have said I am very goal oriented, once I have no more goals what is the point of play? Right now I’m doing the serial refresh waiting to see what or even if funcom does anything from here. But I only have one journey to complete, then what? I mean depending on funcoms next move I may very well be done with Conan. None the less right now I have little reason to play, if the server was wiped I’d have reasons to be in game for hours again. > [@jmk1999](#): > > A yearly wipe wouldn’t benefit anyone and only piss off the longtime players that are actually playing the game. But are they? Or are they just serial refreshing in fear of losing their hoar… collection? > [@jmk1999](#): > > Few people serial refresh for years. Oh no, some of them build nonstop covering acres of real estate. They add a new wing every time a new build set hit the store. But then aren’t those the people funcom is trying to keep happy? > [@jmk1999](#): > > Report the serious offenders Waste of my time. My opinion, there are those that are simply above the ToS. Those reports will never be investigated. Regardless of which side of the ToS you are on I think most of us agree moderation is not working. Depending on funcom moderation to fix an issue is like depending on a paper bag to carry water. ---

> [@Irkalla](#): > > A few official servers of all three varieties should get put on a server wipe schedule. No. There is already a decay timer for players who are not active. Changing the rules is punishing long time players. And while Funcom is not above that, instituting wipes is a whole new level of poor decisions. If they want to spin up servers with a wipe build in, fine, folks know what they are getting. But to add a wipe schedule to existing servers would be less than bright. If you want a server with a wipe schedule, host your own. I want servers with 2.5 NPC damage and a 4 month decay timer, so I host my own. ---

> [@Kikigirl](#): > > Wipes to clear data would probably alleviate some performance issues, at least that would be the hope. So, this can be accomodate via data purgers. Let folks know that players who have not logged into a server for 12 months will have their player data purged. If they rejoin the server, they start from scratch and create a new character. I’d be good with that. ---

I play 7D2D on a privates server the wipes every 500 game days. But what happens if they spin up a full series of variant Conan “official” servers and I got my Barbaric, PVE, yearly wipe server so abandon the present servers to who ever. What should funcom do if it gets to no one actually active on the old servers, just serial refreshers keeping their hoard from decaying? > [@Pugilist](#): > > instituting wipes is a whole new level of poor decisions. In your opinion, for all you know making them annual wipes could make them far more active. Get more people on and playing. I’m not saying it would, I’m saying you don’t know that it wouldn’t. ---

> [@Kikigirl](#): > > Official PVE though… my limited playthroughs tell me that boredom does easy set in. I’m bored AF without any threats or goals 🙄 Yeah, see, PvE players don’t play like that. Many of us prefer the adventure without the anxiety of dealing with watching our backs for other players. At least that’s my thought. I don’t mind running dungeons with friends over and over or building and modifying my bases. In fact, considering redoing a couple of my outposts currently. Unfortunately, I can’t do it without my clanmate @marylambs as she likes to play a role in the design efforts… but she hasn’t been in the mood lately due to the terrible fall through bug. I don’t exactly blame her. I’ve been conflicted as of late as well, and that’s part of the reason I haven’t played as much lately. ---

Let’s talk about Blitz servers real quick. First we have the community’s reaction to them: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ConanExiles/comments/5t34vf/why\_so\_many\_pvp\_blitz\_servers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ConanExiles/comments/5t34vf/why_so_many_pvp_blitz_servers/) Then their removal happened because they were underpopulated, an official word on it said here: > So what happened? Players played on blitz servers, then they wiped, and some played after the first wipe. Mostly left after the second. Servers were dead for a few months while players wanted more normal servers. In 7 years there has been no attempt by those who want a wiping Funcom server to actually get together and show the viability of such. No blitz Funcom-like servers of the PVP nor PVE variant. Funcom has no intention of trying out a wiping server type. There’s not enough interest for it. Not enough interest for even a single server. There’s also the added issue of there still being far too many servers being offered. We’re likely to see a condensing of servers and mergers again before any servers are added. And no, making wiping servers won’t make people come back. They didn’t stay when they had them. There’s quite a few issues with server wipes as well. One of the best ways to kill a server’s population is to wipe. Wiping removes all physical attachments to a server a player has. Wiping a server can send your playerbase into an exodus to other servers. This isn’t to say its impossible to keep a server population post wipe. Many do. They have communities that enjoy playing together more so than keeping just ‘their stuff’. But it also helps to have wipe day bonuses such as increased rates, auto-60, or even kits of building materials to give headstarts, as well as events prior to the wipe and events after. One of the biggest issues with wipes are when they are scheduled. If you have a server that wipes say on a 6 month basis. Months 1-3 are the most active. Month 6 is dead. Why play in the last 3-4 weeks when you know all progress you are doing is gone, with very likely no one to show it to? You see this in seasonal play in the various ARPGs out there. There’s quite a bit of an advantage a server has if they can maintain a no-wipe status. Its the largest draw of the servers in question. Just not enough interest, and even those who claim to be interested will quickly lose interest once the newness wears off. I do find it fascinating that there are people in this thread claiming to want servers that wipe, who have never even played on one. Especially when they have more time spent playing on a single character than most have played entirely. As someone who’s gone through over two dozen wipes, rerolls, and server changes over the last 7 years… a server wiping doesn’t bother me. I know its possible to not be fazed by it. But I also know that it can kill the game for others. I mean if you’ve never done a wipe before. Hit recreate character on your current most progressed character and see how it feels. Some people find the experience to be awesome and nostalgic. Others… not so much. ---
