I know i am going to get negative rep for this but this is my ideas about how to do the wipe......
1)wipe accounts that have stats below 600
2)wipe accounts that haven't been on in 30 days
3)wipe accounts that break the rules

Those are the guidelines i think all grey files should be wiped by.

Edit:
4)if the accounts stats don't rise within 3 days

I would tell you to put this in suggestions but this is too stupid to go there...

TAO has to make a living. Either pay $5 a month or get wipped!

Allow me to tell you why there is a wipe :

Every month the serves of TAO are clogged with over 100-500k of crap accounts. To reduce such a tremendous lag within the servers, the free accounts are wiped. Thus, what do you expect, it is for free, only actual consumers would not get wiped, always remember my young friend, nothing in this world is free, and if it is there is always a catch.

Keep in mind, TAO is about the money. It's a business. Therefore, there should be tremendous incentive to go gold.

I know that but if the "crap" accounts are played on and stay with postive stats....why erase the account and make them start again



(you can say that im just asking for negative rep from gold players)

Well, think of it from this view, you own this game, would you want people who pay for it clog up the servers every month with cybering accounts and such, It is much easier to delete the people who do not pay for the game and support it in one whole swoop, rather than go through 500 thousand something accounts a month and find the "better and worse" And no, I have no reason to neg you, your merely inquiring on something you wish to learn more about, nothing wrong with that

edit : hit enter to fast lol.

The reason is, even if someone is very good, the point of this game is to make money, like Monkus said "it is a money making game" grey accounts, are merely trial version of TAO.

Most of the accounts aren't played on, and a large portion of greys make 2-3 grey accounts and never play them. Plus there's spammers, cyberers, accounts used for boosting [Not as common as the other two, I'd like to think], and it's a lot easier to kill 'em all then weed through the thousands of accounts to find the ones that need to be deleted.

EDIT: Yeah, plus the money thing.

Because TAO has to make money.

MONEY-

By wiping all grey accounts, TAO forces those who want to keep their accounts to pay them money.

This belongs in the suggestion forum, but since it's a bad suggestion it doesn't belong anywhere. Greys don't pay, so they all get wiped.

Seriously. Why did we stop calling it the sweep? The wipe just sounds so wrong.

A few people were calling it "the swipe" on GL last week, which is like the best of both wor(l)ds or something.
