By no means is this “formality” or because we are bored and want to punish players.
The reason why is explained here:
We even increased the global WipeTime from 9 days to 15 days for some longer vacation trips but 2 weeks are really the max. now to grant fairness for everyone (2 weeks everyone had to load and render your structures in ECC Space for nothing, stealing a bit of their frames per seconds).
Pandowa is quite full and your stuff wasted the performance for a lot of players for 17 days. If you don’t play active this is bad for others. Imagine everyone would think that way…
We are a big server and can’t store everything for everyone forever. This would be formality.
There would have been easy preventions for you to not let this happen in the first place.
Only deal I can do for you is to take what you have and restore it since the Full wipe is coming anyways – not mentioning that you don’t make use of your OCD as well.
