What do we keep after the wipe?

So, we're due for a wipe at the end of beta. My understanding is that we will lose all progress except for our avatar creations/wardrobe, and credits purchased. Also, the early alpha testers will get to keep their Christmas Yetis. Although I haven't been around long enough to witness this myself, I heard that after the last wipe, the testers kept all their trophies, resulting in some people getting double trophies after earning them again. Kevbob said that this wasn't suppose to happen in the help chat window. Soooo.... my question is, will we get to keep our chocolate bunnies after the wipe? These are seasonal, and can't be obtained again (at least until next Easter), like the Christmas Yetis. I love that thing, and worked really hard molesting all sorts of creatures for it, so I would like to know if I should prepare my heart to be broken when it disappears....

  • last time we kept our Glitchmas presents so ... seems possible the bunnies will stay!

  • I also kept my trophies... so now I have some doubles.

  • The trophy thing last time was a bug. It will get sorted!

    We just discussed it, and yes you can keep the bunnies :)

    And back to the original question, everything gets wiped except:
    • your avatar/customizations/owned clothes
    • your credits balance
    • your name
    • your profile (anything you've filled out)
    • your friends list
    • a few custom/special items (yeti and bunny, so far)

  • What bunnies?

  • "The trophy thing last time was a bug. It will get sorted!"

    Can I get clarification on what the bug was? We were told a few times (won't quite, don't recall who) that trophies weren't getting deleted in the wipe (thus my trying to finish up the street ones like mad). The surprise was that the system didn't recognize we were already awarded the item and we got a 2nd one as soon as we collected gems/spice/whatever.

    So are trophies not getting WIPED the bug? Or was the system failing to check and then awarding a SECOND one the big?

  • where did your "staff" go, stoot?
    Posted 20 months ago by Another Chris Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Awesome, thank you, stoot!

  • It's a long story (and an annoying bug) Chris. It'll come back!

  • Tibbi, squeezing chickens or doing stuff to eggplants in this test, gives you the chance to get a colourful egg- and if you collect all 5 differed coloured eggs, you get a chocolate bunny trophy to keep in your house! :)
    Posted 20 months ago by Hburger Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Cool. I just need one more egg. :)
    Posted 20 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Which I just got! I got the Bunny Trophy! :)

  •  Another question. Besides the things getting wipe, when the game closed later today, will we still be able to see our profiles?  Just to visit. :)
    Posted 20 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, Tibbi :) 
    You'll be able to access everything on this site except for the game itself.

  •    Oh good. Thanks.

  • I appreciate the answers Stoot, but, wonder if you might address the question of keeping the 'street creator' trophies for me?  This test, I was fortunate enough to get 4 pieces (2 stone, 1 wood and 1 dirt - and yep! - I'm proud of 'em)... hence the question - I really want to be able to keep them.

    I really want to keep them...pleeeezzzee! :)

  • @Firestone1960: The last wipe unfinished trophy parts (in inventory) were wiped, but completed trophies (similar to other collector style trophies) remained in the trophy case.

    But fear not, the next wipe isn't happening just yet, you'll still have those parts when the next test session starts up.

  • So our homes & inventories get wiped? Do our levels or skills earned get wiped as well?
    Posted 20 months ago by Mystbecky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think it's everything except your clothes and your friends. Clean slate all around.
    Posted 20 months ago by Jhennauchan Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We're reset to being what we were when we first played Glitch, no belongings, no houses, etc., except we keep what stoot listed above.  A partial reset in the meantime is possible where we'll just lose houses or whatever.

    Trophies were supposed to be wiped with the last reset, but only were for some people.  The chocolate bunny trophy is the only one that won't be wiped in the future as stoot gloriously proclaimed above.

  • @Mystbecky: yes. As Stoot said, everything gets wiped, except [his list above].
    Posted 20 months ago by KuraFire Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Another Chris:  Thanks for replying.

    ...well then, guess I will have to just work a little harder in order to complete them before the dreaded reset...lol...
    Posted 20 months ago by Firestone1960 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, I'll lose my home! Now I can really decide, Tallish Crest, Fairgrower Lane, or Harbringer Heath......... I think I'm the only one happy about losing our homes.......
    Posted 20 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So when we lose our homes do we get back our money/buxs ?
    Posted 20 months ago by xoxJulie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • No, xox, because you're losing all your money anyway. It wouldn't be fair to currently homeless people if we got a big start-up wad of cash just because we owned a house before the reset. EVERYTHING, except stoot's list, is reset.

  • Awwww! I worked so hard to get my wee house...and my skills...
    I think all my bubbles just burst. ='((

  • I'm looking forward to the reset. I'd love to do everything again with foreknowledge. How many resets have there been thus far?
    Posted 20 months ago by MaryLiLamb Subscriber! | Permalink
  • MaryLiLamb, others with know the real answer but I think it's been 4 or 5. I'm just guessing. I've only been around for one of them.
    Posted 20 months ago by Lord Bacon-o Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Lord Bacon-o, you are about right — I think there have been around 5 or 6 (in the last year+).
    Posted 20 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I could definitely do with a reset, I made a complete mess before I figured out what I should be doing.
    Posted 20 months ago by Fussycat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We lose everything with a reset? :(  Well then I hope Beta lasts aloong time.

    Um ... about the bunny trophy.  I have all five eggs but no trophy.  Is that a bug?
    Posted 20 months ago by Marla Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Marla: Have you looked inside the trophy case? Also,I think you may have to find each egg yourself,rather than buying?!
    Posted 20 months ago by ~Scilly~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Maria - you had to have the five different kinds in your inventory at the same time to get the trophy - when the game was running - no idea if you can get it now.

    @ scilly - I don't think it mattered if you bought them or found them but it was more fun to find them!

  • Shock aftershock ...

    I just got into the game on saturday, went through all the paperwork and bought my home :O

    Easter and family came over so had no time to get back into game and now my home is gone!!!!!! 


    This is going to be very interesting: 


    Is this game imitating life ?  


    Housing market crashes and now everybody's home went into foreclosure and waiting for pie in the sky refi's??


    What bank owns this game ?  LOL


    Do we still have the things like food, back pack, basic education ?


    Will warmama be given clothes or have to remain starkers?


    I noticed that the game for reopening keeps changing, a Solice soon ?


    Looking forward to playing again.  :)

  • @xoxJulie

    Your home isn't gone.  (yet).  The wipe will occur sometime later in the beta testing. 

    The game is currently closed so the developers can fix all the problems that were brought to their attention during the past few days of testing.  Then they'll open the game again and let us play for a few more days (with all the stuff you had when the game closed).

    Then they'll close it and fix stuff.   It goes like that until they are ready to make the game open full time to the general public.  Before that happens, all your achievements and stuff* will be reset so that everyone starts at the beginning again.

    *with a few exceptions

  • Gee, I never even heard of the chocolate bunnies. Don't know how I miss so much.
    Posted 20 months ago by Sierra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Is the bunny still available? I was only able to collect 3/5 during the last test. The way I read is that everything will remain available till the wipe at the end of beta. Is this correct?
    Posted 20 months ago by Holly Waterfall Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just the idea of losing everything and having to start over from scratch is depressing. The best reason to beta test is to have a leg up so to speak when the game goes live, otherwise everyone is competing for the same resources at the same time.  Can you imagine 20 or 30 people in groddle lane all trying to molest the same 4 piggies...
    Posted 20 months ago by deedee_bear Subscriber! | Permalink
  • deede_bear, no, the best reasons to beta test are:
    - To help and influence a game as it develops.
    - Be able to play before anyone else.
    - Watch the process of world be created.
    - Learn the game before others so that you will have leg up on what to do.
    ....
    Your's is some where around #27 in my book.
    (Having been through a wipe, it's not that bad. Actually it's a lot of fun.)

  • Read Cory Doctorows story Martian Chronicles. Could learn about the game wipe, and starting the game over.

    Being in the beta is about giving, not getting stuff.
    Posted 20 months ago by Christian Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am thrilled to be in beta.
    Think about all those who are still waiting to get in. I was not asked to be in the first testing round. Losing everything is fine with me.
    Posted 20 months ago by Sugar Plum Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @deedee_bear: I would also like to add that you DO have a leg up when beta testing ends, because you have experience: you will be able to zip through the quests like no-body's business, while the newbies are struggling to figure out what the heck is going on. You will also have a-priori knowledge of which skills are best to learn first, which will save you oodles of time. This experience will totally make you surf through the game's official opening! Your confused newbie buddies will be totally jealous...

    I am looking forward to the wipe, because it will allow me to do several things, including:


    1) Experience new things that have been added to lower-level player experience since I joined.


    2) Re-do everything with hind-sight, which will make everything better and more efficient.


    3) Slow down and smell the roses and ENJOY all the things I rushed through before because I knew the game was only going to be open for a short time, and it wouldn't open again for who knows how long....


    Plus, you get to keep all those free (and discounted) credits which were given to you, as well as special items like the Glitchmas Yeti and chocolate bunny (if you have them).
