    I thought I was understanding this however I noticed a strick thru in the final wipe information concerning the wipe of all social data including name, friends, guild etc. Will there or will there not be a complete wipe of all data (including names and social data) at final wipe of release #32?

    They're planning on not needing to wipe social data. They're trying hard for that information to not need to be wiped. So the current plan as I understand it, is to not wipe social data. Though if they find they have to, they will. Best to be prepared.

    I'm a Royal Founder Citizen. If I upgrade my pledge to Edelmann would that bring my lot selection window forward?

    Not sure why there are any Citizen pledges anymore... $25 to bump up to Edelmann can't be beat.

    Totally agree.

    The extra bank slots and the ability to brew beer are worth a lot more than $25, imo.

    There aren't any Citizen level pledges, they were expired. Edelmann remains.

    Not to mention the awesome house attached to the pledge! Well worth the 25 extra dollars.

    Yep. His statement was meant to convey that the upgrade to edelmann was such a bargain, he's not sure why every citizen hasn't done that, leaving nobody at citzen level any longer.

    Not sure if this was answered in the past, but can we continue gifting add-on store items to our friends post final-wipe?

    What about gifting joke addon store stuff to our enemies too. Like a bag full of poop to knock on the door and leave the bag burning on their doorstep, while you watch stelthfully from across the way as they stomp it out.

    Gift toilet paper for their house too.

    Although we might not know our enemie's account. Even if they set it up to gift something to an ingame "character name" it would probably list their true account name in our gift box, and that could be a security issue. Although the ability to just randomly send a gift to a player without having to get their email address might be useful for a cheerful soul who finds a good reason to be giving to a friend in game. A character name is unique right?

    So an april fools day gift event would be cool, and give us emotes and other cool bonus gifts for both players just like the recruite a friend thing. Also gift incentives for gift giving holidays. The gifts that keep on giving. (as the saying goes... it is more blessed to give than to receive unless you can do both)

    So I have a question @DarkStarr

    Because of overland travel and ferry boat location... we saw the boat leave kingsport to ardoris, and the only way to hidden vale currently is from the boat at brittany.

    Are the current ferries/boats fixed now (with possible additions) or would boats that are in place now suddenly disappear after persistence.

    This is a huge question for folks planning lot selection.

    This is a great question, Lace.

    If I recall correctly, the Kingsport to Ardoris boat allowed early testers to explore Ardoris before the Novian mainland had been opened. It was quite a geographic stretch otherwise.

    I cannot think of another boat with such a long reach like that? Most boats seem to have a logical and relatively short connection. I hope they remain the same too.

    @DarkStarr I plan on staying in Hidden Vale as I have found a lot I like. I also want to possably shop/explore/hunt in the Brittany area. So easy to get to Brittany but travelling back is a pain. Yes there are recall scrolls but I do hope there are travel changes planned.

    @Nhili Dragon Is there not a boat at Brittany that takes you directly to Kingsport? That would be pretty well centered in the Hidden Vale.

    The boat from Kingsport to Ardoris was put in place as Ardoris was the first city on the Mainland. The intent from the beginning (You can see it marked on the map) is for the boat to connect Kingsport and Brittany. When Brittany was introduced the boat route was changed. It is now where it was always intended to be and would feel confident in stating that it will not change.
