wipe Sugguestion for the approach towards the next wipe(s).

[Davy Jones [EU|DE] 3]

It would be cool if you would make it possible to save some things beyond the wipe e.g. the following:

• The character models (to be able to keep one's familiar looks)
• The XP count (in order to be able to get back to one's "former" level (similar to a respec even if the skill tree has changed) to enable players to rebuild quickly after the wipe(s) without the need to gather XP for hours or even days on end just to be able to craft the items needed to rebuild)
• The tames (for example by creating locations (e.g. at Freeports) where the former owners of the tames can redeem some kind of token after the wipe which can be used to spawn in their former tames)
• The ships (for example by creating locations (e.g. at Freeports) where players can sail their ships to to "bottle" them to be able to redeem those "ships in bottles" after the wipe to release them into the ocean again (e.g. somewhat like the Black Pearl in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"))

Another possibility would be to make it possible to save everything that is transportable for example by adding the new map onto new servers and making it possible to sail from the "old world" (on the current servers) through some kind of portal or something into the "new world" (on the new servers) (and back) for a limited time (a month or so) after which the old/current servers would be fully replaced by the new ones to make it possible to bring ships, tames, resources, blueprints, gold etc. onto the new servers/into the new world.

Or atleast don't wipe cause it's not necessary anymore.
