Just to clarify:
- No date for the wipe has been given nor will it. Daneos will post on the forums with a thread telling us when OB is ready to be launched.
- Any release date rumours you hear from anyone except from Daneos should be regarded as false because hundreds of people spout it to annoy players.
- The wipe will completely 100% remove all players, items and zeni. The only files left will be the server code. As if the server was just opened from launch but working smoothly.
- It is always worth playing now. you could just happen to be one person who encounters a bug no one else did. Then if you report it the game will be fixed faster.
