Well, going out on a limb here, but it wouldn't be pitched like that. It would be pitched as the BDSSE, and everything bad would be blamed on other actors within CIG, while Turbulent, who for years have been building a reputation as those who deliver on SC, will be hailed at the new saviours of the BDSSE.

A new round of funding starts, fuelled by more JPG sales, and life goes on.

Anyone can do a photoshop of The Neverending Story with the faces of CIG employees on it?

I am fully convinced CI will be able to maintain the integrity of all that state once they cannot simply do wipes :)

There was an intriguing bit in last week's vid about how they've had to downgrade the reset option for 3.18 too...

TLDW:
  • The player reset option in 3.17:
    • Resets entire account to hard money purchases alone etc. Historically needed due to backend stability. (Head attached to mining tool. Missing eyes. Missing mobiglas.). There are performance issues. Too many people using it.
    • They're hoping that transactional nature of PES means data corruption issues will be much less frequent, and so much less of the above. Also full reset = too costly. And people used it for mass-moving items back to start location. Can't support that any more.
  • The new repair tool in 3.18 [24m]:
    • Missing items on playing avatar (eyes, head etc) = a core reason for reset. Focusing on that stuff, getting you back playing, not the costly inventory reset. New tool will no longer destroy/restore inventory etc. Will only restore your character, so you can get back playing. Destroys avatar, and gives you new one, in new place, so would also free you from being trapped etc. (Crimestat etc will carry over). Some ships bugs now need to be fixed as won't be addressed (IE unrepairable, unflyable etc)
    • Customer service will still have full reset option as nuclear option etc
    • Current solution can't recover subscriber items etc. They will iterate........

So many questions, so I will limit myself to the most important ones:
  1. "Transactional nature"? It was not before? Transnationality does not prevent logical errors, though.
  2. If a commando leaves a coffee cup somewhere in Pyro, will it survive the account reset?
