HoodyNynja Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 So I saw online where someone was trying to sell their "Grand Master Founders" account for a ridiculous amount of money (seriously like almost $2000). O_o Amongst the various grammar and spelling errors, one of his selling points was that once the game beta ends, all accounts will be reset, but you will still have a "ton" of platinum to spend if you bought his account. Anyway, my question is has DE ever stated what will or won't happen to our current inventories once the game goes "live?" I know some games have done wipes after a beta, but those are usually pretty limited in scope, or very blatant that it will happen during the beta, and certainly not when the beta period is over a year. Not to mention all of the exclusive or limited items that have been given with events and founder's packs. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnat6 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 DE has said there will be no forced account resets and they don't currently have plans for a optional reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyPip Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You can't sell your account so it should be reported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farren Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 They have stated in the past that there will not be forced resets. There was one optional reset a long time ago, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tveeggad Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well, uh, selling your account is not permitted, so if that would happen I think someone would have bought a banned account. I think it would be rather easy to see if a user has suddenly logged in at the other side of earth in a matter of 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haldos Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 There has already been one opportunity to reset your account in the past, and that was optional. If DE were to offer it again, it would undoubtedly be optional as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlraistlx Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Yes, an account reset could be applicable, as is stated in the https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/28-open-beta-agreement-read-me/'>Open Beta Agreement but is not likely to happen. Also stated in said agreement is that an account cannot be sold and this should be reported via Support Desk as Naming and Shaming is against the forums rules.

Suzaku4489 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 It is extremely unlikely that an account reset will ever occur. If one did, it would be because of some catastrophe that was completely impossible to recover from. If a forced reset were to occur, then people would still have all of their founders items, and probably their purchased platinum as well. This kind of situation would really only happen if, for example, the building caught fire and destroyed all of the player's account information, and the backup was destroyed simultaneously by a hurricane made of man-bear-pigs.

Katakuna Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 From what I understand, we'll lose everything except our plat, our Founders items, (most likely) Prime Access items, and our Vandals in the event of a mandatory reset. There will be no mandatory reset unless something goes horribly wrong and there is no other option. DE has maintained this stance on the matter ever since it was first asked.

HoodyNynja Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks all. I know its not legal to sell an account (and not reasonable to sell one for that much), but I wasn't sure what the plans were. I was aware of the optional rest in the past too, but that doesn't interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloan441 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 P.T. Barnum lives. Someone is trying to sell you something. You should be able to do the math from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HideorEscape Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think its illegal to sell accounts. Don't trust offers like that. Resetting all accounts would be bad, for what did I waste +1200 hours? If that happens, I will uninstall Warframe and never play it again. I don't think that it will happen, we already earned Steam achievements, how is possible to reset that? I hope its not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this, the "we have the right to reset it" thing is to cover themselves legally if something like that were to happen, under the "better have it and not need it than need it and not have it" philosophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarc Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 By definition, this game is and has been out of beta for quite some time. Can't blame 'em though, all the cool kids are mislabeling their games. Even Starbound is callng their game a beta despite it being an alpha.

buriburi Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 There is no point of resetting the game: when all the stuff is obtainable there shouldnt be a problem. The problem is if they HAVE TO RESET because something is not working well. Besides there are ppl with 3000h+ gameplay, billions of xp and 250+ forma's on stuff. It would be cruel to reset those accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
