[freddyeddy 0]

hey, i was just wondering if your character and persictence will be wiped when 0.61 comes out, i am pretty sure presictence wil be wiped but im hoping your character won't be wiped. also, any information about the release date of 0.61?

With the release of all major stable updates all characters get wiped.

Highly likely, if for no other reason that getting rid of duped/removed items and giving players a reason to 'start over' and test things.

That is if we live long enough for 0.61 release.

From my experience exp doesn't always get a character wipe with every small change but usually a persistence wipe. Stable always gets a full wipe with a full version change and usually a persistence wipe if there's a hotfix required.

You can always count on all data to be wiped with each major update Freddy:
