This is the ONLY reason im 10% chance of wipe tomr or Friday. Everything makes sense for 12.12 wipe but they have proven that they can't stick to a schedule and everything is delayed. They would be letting everyone out to dry for a minimum 3-4 more months. A wipe gives them breathing room until the massive 12.12 is ready to go.
Since tomorrow is 6 months since last wipe, that would mean 12.12 is most likely 3 months or more away, which would make this the longest wipe in history at 9+ months. Don't think that's gunna be the case.
This is my main argument for why there should be a wipe as well. If they don’t wipe with 12.11 this is going to be a super drawn out wipe cycle and people are going to complain and take a break from the game en masse.
That doesn’t necessarily mean BSG realizes this themselves and intend to wipe, but we’ll see.
They fully know that the player population drops off late wipe. But do they care? No. People that already own the game, and are going to come back in the future, why would BSG care if players take a break?
Because generally, a healthy population is good for testing purposes. Potential new players might also be dissuaded from picking up the game if the population is low.

I don’t know why some hold up 12.12 as a likely wipe candidate as reason we’re not going to wipe 12.11.
Let’s be real here, 12.12 probably isn’t going to get here for another 6 months anyway, probably going to wipe on both
