Resetting the NI Community

[Bobo]

Definitely against it. Like Youngs said, the countless hours played and the gear earned is the reward. I doubt if most of the players would have patience to do it all again. Not me for sure.

Another thing is: who's going to carry the team if the top tier geared heroes would be no more? That's going to end in wipe on wave 8. I know that hardcore players could find it funny but I wouldn't be that sure when it comes to the new ones. Less successful runs means the grinding would take even longer, especially that after the last major update the mat drops are very few.

My proposition to think over: if you'd enjoy yourself to play with low-tier gear then what holds you back guys? Just buy some eq in the marketplace and go ahead. There could even be some red shirts events, why not? The advantage over new players would be your chars that are heroes anyway. Should you want to make it even harded you can always start a new char and go from the scratch.

Just keep your hands away from my gear, please.

Oh okay, guess we won't see you in NI for bannerlord if you are that attached to your gear. Resetting now will grant us a possibility to experience a fresh start which is going to happen when NI will be on Bannerlord anyway.

Nah, abandon your hopes. I will be there when Bannerlord comes. But that is a different story. When the NI2 launches on Bannerlord, we can most probably expect a lot of new players and full servers as soon as the platform becomes popular. But what would it be if we lost some important part of current players while new ones are not so many. We have like 2 EU servers populated in the evening with 1 of them being like 7/16. Not to mention the NA or AU. Really sad to see. Do we need to lose any player these days? I'd say if we'd like some major changes, let them be the changes that can bring in more new players rather than something that might lead to the old ones go away. And those new ones that still come to get disappointed with how hard it is to get to something.

Also, with Bannerlord being in some regards different from Warband, we can expect some new game mechanics so we may take it for a new game.
But as long the the current one goes, let's keep it going. All in due time.

EDIT:

(...) If someone got bored of playing with the best eq, please - you can give to the poorest novice players to encourage them to continue playing.  

Damn good tip!
