So as you have noticed we have new server rules and new raid protection. I am excited for both and definitely think they are going to help balance out certain aspects of PvP on the server. We've been through a lot on the new map such as changed dino breeding, mod changes, glitches, losses from rollback, losses from lag spikes, new rules, new raid protection, Raw Dogs forges...<3. I recently voted on this already about a server wipe and I voted with my heart because I absolutely love my base, it's a pyramid and it's fabulous. But in hind sight I'm noticing how unbalanced things have become and how server changes have definitely played a role in this. Population seems to be going down because of how unbalanced things are and I think a reset has potential to help boost the population back up. Population is a key aspect to having fun on this game, with more population comes more trading, raiding, alliances, drama, all the good stuff a PvP server can bring to the table. I understand the lag was fixed with server update (thankfully!!!) but I'd just like to reopen the vote one more time with these considerations.

There really is no need for a server wipe. Sure it may boost population as it will lure in more people because they have the same chance as veteran players at growing big, but there are better and easier solutions to fix this. As you can see there are less and less tribes on the server because they get wiped out. Speculations show that it's mostly the bigger tribes like Arkham Tribe, but these are just speculations. I would say this is one of the biggest problems for the population drop, also including the lag and glitches; which made it even worse.

I feel like if a wipe is not going to happen then inactive tribe bases need to be removed in order to open building spaces for players to build bases.

I think that a wipe would draw more players and there is many bases that are just taking up space with no one in them. Either way we need to come to a decision fast because all this wipe no wipe stuff is getting annoying.

If you want space to clear up then just remove inactive bases. There are other solutions that involve active people keeping their bases, and increasing the population... And can we please consider how the server just got wiped about 2 weeks ago... I feel like wiping would frustrate a lot of the veteran players into leaving.

@chris, if ppl arnt using their bases they should become demo allowed within a few days and you can demo them. ( I agree with you btw dont think im criticizing your comment) I also think the pop drop was partially do to the raiding but this is a pvp server, raiding is going to happen and the ppl that hydra wiped NEEDED to be wiped. If ppl are pussies and leave bc they get raided then they are lame and we dont need them here. The real issue that I think is causing ppl to leave is the lag and crashes but idk if we can do anything about that. This map is a work in progress from what I have heard. I would only support a wipe if there is diffinitive evidence that it would in fact fix the problems and I dont believe there is any evidence to suggest that it will, on the previous vote I was in favor of a wipe but now it seems that alot of the issues we have been having have been resolved so I am changing my position. I am against a server wipe.

well another crash in and I'm standing my vote of wiping Of course there are going to be crashes and lag. It's always apart of the game. You can't completely remove it. But since this new update came out it has been GREATLY reduced, down to where it's like a normal server. Wiping really won't even change anything with that.

The server hasnt crashed in 7 hours since I started it for the new patch. It sounds like it was just you Chris on that one. Side note, I demo bases not being used within 7 days to clear space on the server. I haven't done that as of late because of the issues with the map. Now that it's more stable I'll be doing my normal rounds of clearing out the old making way for the new.
