Yes they will be resetting multiple times, but this reset is most likely due to the fact that the founders packages will no longer be on sale as of tomorrow. So they are re-working the in-game home screen I would assume.

I'd like to know if the following is happening;

Also, essentially all data is being wiped. That means the following will all be reset:

• Stats
  
• C-Bills
  
• MechWarrior Credits (the free amount we give you.)
  
• All non-founders Mechs
  
• Mech Trees
  
• XP

Founders will keep their founders items, and your Friendslist will not be touched.

Why the Founder packs aren't getting a reset also on the premium accounts, as we've spent real money to have this and gained what bonuses we can, only to have the above happen, which wipes it all.

Please confirm you are resetting the premium account times for the founder packs.

Yes they are dude....Our premium will be reset along with everything else....Dont get your panties in a wad, this was stated numerous times in the past.

To everyone talking about mechanics of the game, remember to not post anything BETA oriented in non-BETA forums.

Thx for the update, will be considered While I sit in front of my computer, yelling and screaming. Now I will know why. Won't stop or lessen the screaming, mind you, but it is allways nice to know why.

Does that mean if you are wiping everything that Open Beta is now coming?

OBT? o_O

[Dymitry]

Thanks for the headstart. I can now plan my evening accordingly

Resetting the credits and the mechs so that only the founder mech remains is ok, but resetting the stats and mech trees is not so.
Since the founder mech is at Master level, it is a shame to lose all that has been worked towards, but hey... when the D/B goes can't help it!

Tip of my hat if you manage to fit it to that maintenance window... they never tend go smoothly when so many eyes are on clocks though guess this is just a clean db schema with changes.
Good luck and see you on the other side...

So we have open beta today?

[LittleTigru]

Thanks for the heads up and good luck with maintenance!

Makes you wonder tho'... Opens gotta be getting close... not saying it's starting now... but one step closer I would think...

there is no patch though

all it is is a server reset, nothing client side

Is that so? Mhh...why takes it so long? I mean 4 houres scheduled downtime....do they setup new servers or what?

Taking servers down is not something you want to do everyday to begin with. In order to properly take servers down, you have to take the databases on the servers down first, then you take the application that uses said database down, then you take the servers down. This is also if nothing gets hung up during this process, this could take 1 hour by it self. Then you reverse the process. so this gives them 2 hours to do what they need to do. Depending on what they are doing, they will be working very hard to get it up inside the window. (the following information was gained through personal work experience)

500k GXP? Some day it's will reset again? Or prefer use this GXP more smart? :/

[DC GDL Bratak]

It's not a Game - it's a Beta TEST. So we can't lose anything, because we don't own anything yet. We are still nothing but test persons. Our buy-in values - if such - will be reset on release day anyway, I guess.

There will be one final reset when the game goes Open beta, thats the official statement.
At that point all MC spent will be permanently spent, if you want more you have to buy it.
