Probably retarded, I thought so too.
Reason to whipe the database - exploits!!! Exploits everywhere!!!
I did use one of those exploits in my last day of gameplay, just to see a couple of skills that i will never get on this CBT.
And since there was a whole new set of maps to see in the new starting path, I donât mind to spend a little more time grinding there with some friends who will play for the first time in the next beta stage.
I spend the last days of the beta whithout attach to my character, knowing that all the data possibly will be lost.
(Testimonial as player, as a programmer in the next comment)
Thinking as a programmer, some data used for save info about characters and game states may be changed in the next client. Old game data could cause random crashes and glitches that may be reported as a bug, but if the corrupted data is erased before opening the servers, that extra problem will never happen.
There was never the question about whether they wipe it or not, rather if there is a need of another cbt.
The second ppl abused the exploit made a wipe inavoidable.
Anyone who thinks there shouldnât be a wipe is crazy. We were supposed to test the content and thatâs what we did. We arenât here to invest in any gameplay, you can do that when the game is fully released.

I think people were talking about wiping it and starting another CBT afresh vs moving on to another CBT with our current characters.
Everyoneâs aware that all progress made in CBT will not be transferable to OBT or release.
I agree that it was an Alpha, many classes are not ready and may even need to re-design (eg. Dievdirby).
Beta should be classes ready, and focus on game speed, damage between PvE and PvP, stress test and skill balance.
Right now, the skills are not scaled with the correct stats, and there are many things need to be re-work, particularly C3 classes. PvP needs to be tested as well before OBT.
They should probably wait until K-OBT to fix most of the bugs, and free up some resources, then send for translation, and we should have another CBT with wipe before and after. That should be in late April or early June.
They should keep in touch with those provides good idea or insight (not necessarily the one who creates a new thread).
I feel if they did a OBT at this point the game would flop or get cancelled its way to incomplete , has way to many bugs and exploits . Kinda shot themselves in the foot early on saying the max level was 600 and has 80+ classes and what not. Unless theyâve been beta testing all that content in secret⌠Gonna be rather difficult to market the sale of a game that only has 35% of what its advertising implemented .
I could see the masses who never got a invite to a beta playing for 30 min then condemning the game and reviews destroying the game in its current state.
For the games sake and our sake I would pray they do 1-3 more cbt. Before a OBT .
But weâll see
I can tell you guys that on kobt the lvling exp curve is really smooth because of orsha.
You can always switch to the other side and do the mainquests and storylines of those maps.
Its pretty fast and i never had a wall to âgrindâ @ any lvlintervall
Still i have 3 chars and the archer is still the most broken of them all in early games. Steady aim attribute is not working. Savage Bow +2 on hunter skills is not working proberly etc.
Lets see if they can fix that first⌠i sadly never got a ICBT key so i had to go for the kobt.
I donât know if I really care what the zomg-too-bugged people think. I want live ASAP. Fix the exploits in Korea to minimize bot impact then give me live here! So I can play without wipes. I really donât care about having to reboot my client occasionally. Plenty of bugs in iCBT but that didnât stop me.

Then complain for a lot of bugs and exploit later? 
i honestly couldnt care less if we stay on open beta mode for half a year as long as theres no wipe for release.
me as many more else just want to play the game already without losing my chars and items.
I agree the game is not complete for a âreleaseâ and bla bla nexon contract bla bla korea bla bla, but make it playable already for everyone else outside korea, always keeping IMC as developer and publisher of course.
