Signed.

Would rather the game just came to a dignified end than have it limp on full of empty seas and ghost towns...which is exactly what is going to happen when all the paying customers and experienced players leave. Going to be sad seeing school chat full of people who can't get a straight answer on where to find skill books or how to get their regional permits...

Yikes, stay away from all bridges/high rises you guys... There is so much drama in here already.. You are all embarrassing yourselves in front of the new player base and owners.. You should be saying "Thank you Papaya/Vertigo for bailing out our long Deadgame"! You should be posting informative threads to help, recruit, and teach new players...

What is done is done.. Crying about it isn't going to make any difference now.. Vertigo has been in business for years and knows what they're doing. Sure, everyone here has spent a lot of time and money in this game, in past years. You got your moneys worth sailing around in high end ships, in fancy equipment with red/blue orbs around you, and blowing past us all with your 50% speed boosts. This wipe is what truly is best for UWO to grow the player base in the long run, and that what its all about. It isn't about satisfying a few old remaining vets/top 1% whom controlled Gama, and are more active in World Chat, Forums, and Seville, than actually sailing. If you truly love UWO, you would want this to happen, and quite frankly, it should've happened years ago. All the players complaining just like being "the big fish in a small pond" and only care about themselves. Now there will be "much more fish in a much bigger body of water". The old server was an ever diminishing player base, totally dominated by the top 1%. It was impossible for a new player to "catch up" without years of grinding, and most were unwilling and to discouraged to try.

From Papaya/Vertigo perspective, this was a no brainer. Vertigo has a 13 million+ person player base. They will replace all you "quitters" very easily.They will make so much money off of an influx of new players/ rejuvenated vets buying boosters to grind, and chasing new ships/items in "treasure chests/bottles" to get ahead. Also, they get to fix all the miserable fails of Netmarble and OGPathetic. This game will be a gold mine for Vertigo/Papaya, for years to come. All you players saying you are quitting are just being dramatic. I guarantee I will see most/all of you "quitters" in 2 weeks, in your school uniforms, and sailing in your barcas around EU xD

This is truly a new life and a clean slate for UWO, and you all should quit whining and save some energy for grinding your skills and unlocking Port Permits. Stop posting all your player suicide notes here. Start posting and discussing how you are going to "survive" financially in this new era.That $50k you start off with, has to go a long ways nowadays. I cant wait to see everyone in Cutters and Schooners, outside of Syracuse Dungeon, for months to come! Start posting informative and educational posts and recruiting new players... The New Era of Uwo, starts today.. Youll feel better in a 2 weeks when u login and see new players everywhere and a rejuvenated, active population... Stop scaring away all the new players with these 5+ similar Apocalypse topic posts and all our old era drama.

Lastly, if there is anyone you should be mad at it is OGPitiful. They put all these high end items, gear, forging items, etc in the game the past few month, knowing they were negotiating a sale behind the scenes. You all spent a lot of money chasing "the most popular ships" and got screwed. How is that SNG or TGF working for you now?

Thank you Papaya/Vertigo, for bailing out our game! It was needed so badly and you took the right and necessary actions. Please learn from Netmarble and OGPoor's mistakes!

After being "inactive" for a few years, I look forward to returning to UWO, and from what I hear from others, there are quite a few other "retired players" who have been patiently waiting years for this to happen as well. The "revamp of Plunder, Deck Frequency, and other game imbalances", is just icing on the cake.

I hope to see EVERYONE on 10/18!! Until then, get some rest, your going to need it for the grind :P

The biggest problem I forsee happening is new players giving up after a week! why? because we all started at different times in this game, and we all looked for help from vet. players, you helped with time, towing, and giving ducats, and items to newbies to help them make it through the long days of sailing in a barca.

That level of help will not be there! next how can you keep where we are at in the progression of the game if no players have no levels, no money, no ships. basically you want us to keep going on your timeline, yet everything to get to those quest will have to be re done, and those do not happen over night, I was level 74 adv. that took about 1 1/2 years of hard grinding, (i tried to keep from burning out, and would also level mar, and trade. i spent 3 years straight playing this game while I was going through my surgeries from gettng injured at work. I do not have that time now, nor the patince or money ($75-200 a month for almost all of those 3 years (once I learned about extra storage space)) will I spend that again, no! will i spend anything again? maybe, once I gain trust that another server wipe isn't a week away. I play 7 days to die right now, every 6 months or so we have to restart, we who play this know it, but we also know that we will never spend money on it either (other than a ded. server)

last we have built friends and families through this game, and some are close by, some are half a world away. some i have numbers and email, and FB! others I didn't, why is this important, because I might never be able to find some of them again, we might never be able to know how their families who we have chatted with while they where on a bathroom run, or store run while we were sailing to EA, or adv, or worst of all gathering supplies for monthly contribs.
I think like most vets, we wish you have just ended the game and let us all say goodbye, and make a great epic world photo. we will see how this goes, but I am not sure if i can go through the grind again

thank you everyone for great memories, fun time's, and a great escape for real life when i was going through a lot of pain.

maybe catch you guys on the new server

might change it to InsaneCowboy which it is supposed to be, but never wanted to spend $20 to make the change

I for one have been playing for the better part of 8+ years. i have seen many people come and go, but the main core group of players in our community are the reason this game has been going for as long as it has been. Most of us spend real hard earned money to enjoy and play this game. For most of us this wipe will end our enjoyment of playing and spending money on this game. This is only 1 of 2 MMO games i have played and both myself and my wife have spent a lot of money on both games not to mention the crazy amount of time we all spend playing and enjoying it. When the last MMO we played decided to end the game we both were devastated and heart broken over the amount of time and money and enjoyment we spent on it. When we came to play UWO after that game quit on us we found UWO to be full of excitement, fun and just a great game. And now after we have spent another 8+ years on another MMO we both love and enjoy to be taken away from us again with a wipe and after we have spent sooooo much time and money into it along with the great community and friends we have come to know and respect and socialize with on a daily basis is a real crusher to us as well as the entire UWO community. I don't think i am alone when i say this...... Please do not do a wipe to the game and make us all start over, i don't think you will have a game for long or a group of people that will be as great as you have now if u do. It is the people that play this game that make it run and support it and you as the server. Without a core group made up of such a diverse community from all over the world to come together to have fun i think UWO will be dead and a lot of people will spend there hard earned money on another game. Anyway i am done and said what i want to say. Please listen to the people that not only play but support this game financially. Please do not do a wipe.

sincerely

if i could give an advice to this ill-fated decision, why dont you F*CK-paya Play make the game pay-to-play instead of wipe us clean cold-heartedly?
The Jap server has been doing great using it for the past 8 years, and showing no sign of slowing down. They even got more players each month.
Dont get me wrong here, i would love the game to be not wiped, but if it's a must, you need to consider making it pay-to-play.
You guys are new in the online game hosting business, im not 100% sure u guys can handle this unique game.
There are already two companies given up hosting it, dont make the same mistakes.

Atakebune2 · October 2017

Lol you guys must be really gullible to believe in anything that Papaya says.

I will spell it in caps so you cant miss it.

OF COURSE THAT THE DATA WASNT DELETED.

THEY NEED THE DATA TO DO THE FOUNDER BENEFITS.

They will basically run a script over the character data to convert them into those packs.

Expect mistakes since they are noobs in uwo. THey might use data from the wrong characters and pick the lower levels instead of the high level characters instead.

This is just their marketing method to try to retain some old uwo addicts from quitting. And some will fall from that. Anyway, if you're going to fall into it, at least you are now informed.

Papaya is a scam.

KantaTero · October 2017

one of the reasons of papayas reset was PVP. im ok with that as long as they reset only the skill prof. but lets us keep our stuff!!! papaya shud reconsider the players hardships in the game!!!

FrozenRuby is a mole end of story

hayesy6 · October 2017

I have spent 2.5-3k in real money in the last 7 years years and I doubt they can compensate for that kind of money for people that have spent that not to mention the fact that a lot of us have legendary gear ship part and item that were discontinued in the game as well as limited holiday gear that some of us liked to use during the holidays this is absolutely unacceptable. If you decide to wipe the server you are obligated to repay and refund the lose of money and items in the game otherwise your setting up for a lawsuit

jonhwy · October 2017

So it seems that the damage is already done.

However there were other much better ways to rebalance the game and make it enjoyable for everyone instead of just choosing the easiest path of destroying years of work and basically throwing into the trash all the money players have been spending on UWO troughout the years.

Apparently PapayaPlay will actually reward the so called "Founders" that transfer their accounts with some sort of prizes, in no way these rewards will possibly compare to what some players had worked for.

With this said, I hope PapayaPlan takes into account all our words of "rage" and that they atleast improve those so called "rewards" much more, or if possible don't do the reset at ALL.

An answer from our new hosts would be nice.

Due to copyright complaints and stolen content complaints we have removed the entire archive of guides for UWO. These guides are for the community and many hours have been put into archiving these guides for all games and for all players.

Because of lack of appreciation for this particular games guide archive, it has been removed and we will no longer support any additional guide uploads.

Thanks

i agree this article.

OGP and Vertigo must transfer player data.

people spent money for their toons.

if erase data without players agreement, it's perfactly like robbery.

All the people happy about the wipe are just people who didnt make much progress in the game and are just happy those of us who did lost everything. Thats fine. You wont make any progress in the new IP without the vets around to hook a chain to you and tow you through everything. Enjoy!

SirWalterRaleigh · October 2017

I am not coming back to a total wipe. Thats just crazy. Like people have said, new players rarely ever last over a month, and they dont spend money on Astros. I hope you purchased UWO for cheap, because you wont want to keep it long.

Game wipe isn't acceptable
