As was mentioned over the past week or two, with the addition of experienced developers to the ZHValhalla project, there is a very large change nearing completion. We are all very aware that the current scripts have more than their fair share of bugs, and inconsistencies from the old Zulu Hotel feel. We've been working very hard to preform a true conversion to POL99 from a previous ZH script base, and are looking to have it complete within the next few days. This means that we will have the old ZH feel that we've all been craving, with the stability of the newest version of POL99(Which is finally a 64bit core, as opposed to the old 32bit), and far less buggy scripts. I would like to express my thanks to all of you who've stuck with us through the issues that we've had, and hope that everyone is happy with the upcoming changes. Characters will transfer over to the new script base without any issue, but unfortunately this conversion will require an item wipe to complete. I would highly recommend taking the last few days to use up any consumables that you've been collecting for your macros, and be ready to head in and take the new world by storm.

That is awesome! Are you able to give an average of days left before the wipe?

I can't give you a solid answer, but I'm hoping around a week. Give or take, depending how things go.

Could players at least keep their houses?

Houses would be nice to keep
Also if we start a guild now will it be wiped?

I vote for a full item wipe.

Keeping houses would be unfair as fuck, wipe it all or nothing

It will be a clean wipe. The only thing going over will be characters.

What will the changes be?
Can you guys leak some here, or are you waiting for the time to throw it all at the same time?
Will we get a precise timing once it's all settled for wipe, like a 2-3 days notice? Just so we can balance resource burning/time left

The transitioning process will begin Wednesday(5/20) at 18:00 CET. At this time the character files will be saved, and the migration process will begin. From that time until 18:00 CET on Friday, the current shard will remain active, but no changes will be saved. Guards will be deactivated, and all rules lifted. This time allows everyone to have a bit of fun with the gear they've obtained, while giving staff time to get the characters migrated over, and do a bit of work that won't be possible to do until the character files have been brought over. Check back Wednesday for more details on what to expect from the new scripts.
