Keep in mind though that in the end it might be a final admin decision since we need to calculate not only release dates of the game but also have other things in mind like universe changes etc. How long should a HWS season go? [poll](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/hws-season-duration-poll/6799/1) From our perspective some additional notes: we have still more than one month left! (season I ends on 7th september) I see bored people already… … The population dropped indeed and a fresh wipe is always a good catcher. From 7th june till 7 july we had almost always 177 players at prime time (what wasn’t that good for the CPU but who cares). To explain honestly my point of view quickly again regarding pro and con: - Doing alone a new universe every 2 month is overkill. I am already struggling - Doing changes WITHIN seasons is a pain in the \*\* because you have to be 200% focused to keep it maintainable in the next season TL;DR: 3 month = less stress for me but not good regarding donation and player motivation 2 month = stress for me but better donations and motivating people to actually use their time and don’t “waste” it Starting on 7th september we will try 3 months, why not. But you get a survey in your face what was better for sure 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/who-wants-a-wipe/6947)._
