The final rule for dedication right here is that after the gamers pay For the sport, we can not take one thing within the recreation away from them until there may be lure or exploitation concerned (and even then, we virtually all the time make a reversal as a substitute of a reboot). Early entry might be the one exception to this rule as a result of we declare straight from the leap that we might have to revive progress every now and then as new modifications enter line. We are able to by no means do that as soon as the sport is formally launched, as a result of many gamers have already spent money and time for a recreation of the sport and take away one thing actually really feel In reality dangerous.
Now … the principle motive we do that earlier than launch is as a result of we’re making vital modifications within the recreation earlier than the launch and we have to observe. The outdated expertise timber might not be purposeful: we might have eradicated sure abilities or fully reorganized the tree. The progress of the tree of the outdated character could be fully damaged, which implies that the character could possibly be unattainable to play. We might need to observe the leveling expertise to confirm that our tuning works correctly, so we don’t need a most character of the leap. We might need to observe how gamers select leveling areas and distributed, so we wish zero to be restarted. We might have added a parallel development route or system with which we wish gamers to work together as they improve. There are numerous the reason why we want to restore progress.
We might attempt to do this type of factor by (for instance, respect all the abilities of the characters, restore all of the characters to degree 1, and so forth.), however it’s a lot simpler and safer to scrub the blackboard fully. There are different advantages for a clear blackboard resembling how gamers inspired one thing new and totally different (for instance, a brand new class, a brand new breed, a brand new specialty, a brand new leveling route, and so forth.), however primarily we restore the vital progress in order that we are able to observe as many particular person video games of the sport as we are able to earlier than the sport is launched in nature and we can not extra modifications within the launch recreation.
