I think the server wipe is not necessary.
First of all, if you want to start from the begining, you can create a new character and do the adventure again.
Second, a wipe now, means it can happens again and again. So, you've done a lot of work, training goods and variables comps, catching all the pokemons availables on the game, breeding like an slave, to lost everything? I'm a new player on pokemmo, i think i play this since november and I can't agree with the veterans loosing everything.
Aww, i'm in a large disadvantage? It's fair enough, since they are playing from 2+ years and I, for only 2 months...
Start a new character is always funny, so do that, use new pokemons in the adventures, other than your first comps, or whatever, but keep things right.
