No Player Wipes!
We’ve received a lot of feedback from our player community that they’re bummed we plan to wipe all player data sometime in the future. While this was originally intended so that we could gather your ...
"A lack of a player wipe means that new players will quickly get discouraged in the face of massively leveled-up pre-alpha players."

I think not wiping is better for the new playerbase when it launches since that means its more likely they play each other and not us. They won't play us until they've played for a while, learned the strats, and levelled their units. Meaning when they do finally face alpha players, its more likely they are on full even ground.
