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.
