Blitz PVP servers wiped monthly.
3-6 months feels more realistic for PVP.
I’m divided on PVE, yearly sounds reasonable but is CE even going to Official servers long enough for multiple yearly wipes?

They will dwindle the server counts but aren’t their other odler games still online right now?
who is that “everyone”? It certainly isn’t me…
and I fail to see if something is “good” for the community, when a lot of people are vehemently against such a move…
the rest you state is subjective, don’t confuse your own opinion and ideas with popular opinion or even facts
Because you don’t see the bigger picture, that’s why.

and the picture you see is of course the correct one, not subjective at all…got it.
You see the list every time you log in 
Back atcha.
Bets the people that protest loudest are the ones we need the wipes for.
“7 years of hording, 28 vaults, 16 city states, all gone” 
Yes that is an opinion, but I’m pessimistic it’s far from wrong.

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.

kind of cheap response, when I never claimed to state nothing less than my opinion… I never statet that “everyone” or “that I see the bigger picture”…
but the fact that I challenged these claims, made by others here, already disproved their falsely objective solution to a problem that might actually be a problem of subjective observation. Meaning that you people are proposing for a solution in search of a problem.
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…
Said I was going to do this. Some F word trying to tell me what I think is a big trigger.
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?
Who the fornication do you think you are to try to tell me what I think? 
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.
Not really, most people forget that is a double edged sword
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
But are they? Or are they just serial refreshing in fear of losing their hoar… collection?
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?
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.

So many suggestions for Officials, yet you probably don’t even play on them.
You don’t have a clue what the community needs.
Can’t say I’d be sad for the very few that stay on specific servers for years.
The reasoning behind wipes are quite a few. Not limited just to massive serial refreshed bases but also massive data on BVs and created characters.
Wipes to clear data would probably alleviate some performance issues, at least that would be the hope. I do not know the details, perhaps a private server owner could chime in who has had a successful server for years without wipes and a comparison of a clean one.
There are many benefits to it specifically for PVP.
Official PVE though… my limited playthroughs tell me that boredom does easy set in. I’m bored AF without any threats or goals

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.

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.

Bye-bye BVs full of DP!!
I agree from above though, there should be scheduled wipe servers as a subset.
I know it’s been mentioned in the past that it has been tried before but 1 month wipes were designed to fail… Need longer periods.

I did say if they opened them I jump ship and leave it all with no regrets. 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?
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.
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.

I do see a lot of lonely people. They joined a server with friends and left alone trying to play the game. Attention starved, often asking others on the server to do dungeons and purges together but are largely denied or ignored.
This has been a pretty consistent commonality since the game started, even on PVP. Keeping a clan together with goals and commitments, real or created, can be challenging.
So I’ve seen it plenty as time goes on, some leave, some come back.
Clanmate of mine has been refreshing bases for years. Him getting to know us and playing rekindled his excitement.
Too bad we’ve all scattered and most of us don’t even play.
