Dear players!

Most of you might be aware that due to continuous changes, re-balances (game-breaking bugs, exploits...) and the sole nature of the beta testing process we have arrived to a state where it has become very difficult to catch up with older players. This is also showing its impact on our testing playerbase and overall morale. In the poll that we have set up on the forums the majority of the players seem to agree with us, as roughly 70% voted on some kind of a wipe.

The decision has been made, we're having a wipe next week, September 9th. All characters and corporations will stay intact, but all items, money, EP and extensions will be removed from them. We're not starting over from zero yet though, as this would hinder the testing process which we are still continuing of course. Existing characters will receive a decent sum of resources and from that time on newly created Agents will also start in this advanced state until this phase of the testing lasts. Be aware though that a full wipe will still happen of course upon the release of the game.

While we are preparing for this though, we are having a little bit of mayhem.

Effective from now, all equipment and robots are seeded on the market for 10 NIC each. Now is your chance get your shiny behind over to the outer islands without any fear or remorse and have some free-for-all fun before the great cleansing.

See you on the battlefield!
