I don't think there needs to be, especially after the BetaTestCash restart.
Almost a absolute certainty now that everyone who knows about it has infinte cash until beta is over...
A little unfair that a new players can come along and buy a BS with CAU8 (or whatever is highest) after other players have grinded for weeks/months to pay for it.
but at the end of the beta, Rollback!
then they have to grind away like the rest of us. (though spending a lot of time grinding/powertrading just to get something is good for the server IMHO, but thats a whole nother issue)
True, what I meant was without the rollback they could keep their ships.

Wrong. They had the chance to realize how much it sucks to fly a cap in a roleplay environment. So they did actually save weeks of powertrading.

I want to bump this. Just met 3 new players in space. They had no clue about the BetaCashRestart and about the Beta and about the Rollback.
Please set message about it in the server describing the situation. The new players would be frustrated if they start in Beta and loose all.

+1 for this.
The beta could last another 2 weeks+, I've seen a truck load of people (mostly new players) that don't have a clue about the impending RB or the free cash.
If I was playing a game for two weeks, and someone deleted my save game, I would not bother playing it again, no way I'm gonna sit there doin the same thing for another two weeks.
Some people don't understand what a Beta version is.
Should have a warning like: Please visit BLARBLAR.COM before playing as this is a beta version, then on that page explain what a beta version is and tell them there's gonna be a RB etc.
Much better to warn new users and have them not play for a few weeks and come back, than not to tell them and wipe their players. Then they'll just think "no way I'm playing that game again, what's the point if they delete your chars
".

Oh, and just a note about usage -
I got on to the server last night when I got home for the first time in a while, to check out some of the ID's. I'll grant you that it was 10:30 pm US CST - which so that's 3:30 am GMT.
16 users online.

ppl are bored of waiting, ADMIN Hurry Up already with the stupid rollback.

The server is empty because people do not want to bother playing a beta. They want to get back to shooting stuff with consequences.

I'm sure it's more beneficial to wait, if we rolled back now, they might find some bug/exploit which players take advantage of a week later and then we'd have to have another rollback.
RE: Mandatory Beta-Rollback inbound? - Black Widow - 10-03-2013
Rollback has nothing to do with bugs, its to do with hackers. Just rollback the player / database already so people can get on with their FL Lives. Whether they rollback or not there will still be bugs so making us wait is illogical also this update is not really much of an update compared to previous ones so I dont really know whats taking so long?

You know why admins rollback to day before beta? Because players have lost stuff because of bugs, I mean armors etc...
