Reset

Resetting

• The option to reset can be found in the accounts menu when all available tasks are complete

Before you decide to reset, please make sure you read the following FAQ.

Q: Huh?

A: Until we complete the full game story line, which is going to take some time, there's no narratively plausible way to let people start again, but in order to fully test everything, and hopefully provide everyone with something to do other than mining or power-levelling, we've provided a handy-dandy reset function, which will let you go back and do everything again. If that's the kind of thing you enjoy.

Q: So, what will happen? Updated

A: Basically:

• Your equipped equipment and non-permanent installed devices will be unequipped/uninstalled;
• Your items will be moved from your backpack to a special storage area;
• Your character will be reset to level 1;
• Your proficiences will go back to defaults;
• All quests will be reset.

Q: Wait, my character gets reset to level 1?

A: Yes, but we keep complete records of all your previous achievements, so nothing you've done so far will be forgotten.

Q: Ok, will I lose anything?

A: Apart from a handful of special items, that aren't storable or tradeable anyway, absolutely not. All your historical data, leaderboards, items, mail etc. will stay exactly as they are.

Q: Will I be able to access all my stuff after I reset? Updated

A: Not immediately, no. In order to make things a little bit challenging, a number of restrictions will be imposed on you for a little while after reset. For example, you will not be able to access ANYTHING from your stash, showcase or mall store. You WILL be able to access items that are currently in your backpack, but it will cost you. No, I'm not going to spell it out here, that's just a risk you'll have to take.

Q: What about any stats/turns/HP/TP etc I have currently?

A: Those belong to your current run, and will be kept with it for historical (or hysterical) purposes. Your new run will start with its own information.

Q: Are there any leaderboards for this? Updated

A: Yes, there are, however as new content is added, existing reset counts/leaderboards will be archived somewhere, and new ones started. This will probably happen several times over the coming months. You will still be able to view archived leaderboards, but the stats on them will be almost meaningless in relation to anything but themselves.

Q: If I continue, can I change my mind?

A: No. If you're not absolutely sure you want to do this, then don't do it. Talk to people in chat if you'd like further information. Let's Do This Thing

If you have read all of this, and you're sure you FULLY understand what will happen, check the box that indicates your understanding, and then click "Reset" to continue, otherwise just walk away and nobody'll get hurt.

I confirm that I have read this and I know what I'm doing, and solemnly promise not to complain about it if something happens that I was warned about but didn't read properly.

Reset

Notes

When visiting the Noobology Department after resetting the first time, this message appears:

• when a player resets, the message There was a brief disturbance in the space-time continuum. It looks like something happened to [username]. Something... resetty. apears in the chat

After consulting a fairly complicated map, asking 7 different people for directions, and getting yourself lost 3 times, you finally discover a plain looking door with "Department of Cultural Sciences" printed on it.

You notice that the words "Cultural Sciences" have been crossed out and "Noobology" written underneath in purple magic marker. This should be interesting.

You knock politely on the door (manners always were your strong point) and wait. And wait. And wait. You get tired of waiting and open the door.

The room appears to be quite cluttered, and it takes a while for you to notice that part of the clutter is in fact a fairly strange looking, dishevelled old guy, sitting at a desk in amongst an unstable-looking stack of papers and beaming at you. Creepy.

"Ahhhhh, hello there young... person! My name is Professor B. Ginner von Noob. Welcome to the Department of Noobology!"

"Ah! Welcome back, <PLAYERNAME>!" exclaims the Professor, "It's good to see you again!"

"Back? Wait, what..."

"If you remember," he continues, "the last time you were here, I asked you to undertake a series of simple, and somewhat boring, tasks to help you familiarise yourself with... well, with things."

"Ummm, well, I'm not really..."

"Good, good. Well, you should be pretty familiar with everything now, so I don't think there's any need for that. How about I just give you some stuff and send you on your way?"

"..."

"Excellent, here you are then. Good luck!"

Before you have a chance to ask any questions, the Professor has handed you a number of items and bundled you out the door, closing it firmly behind you.

Great. Looks like you're on your own!

• You acquire an item: blue t-shirt.
• You acquire an item: StufStik.
• You acquire 5 probably-meatburgers.
• You acquire 5 Boo-boo B-Gone strips.
• You acquire 2 blobs of replacement snot.
• You gain 500 moolah.

• Theoretically, the least turns required to complete a reset is 12. This is because the Ants In a Park Quest takes at minimum 5 turns, and the Legion quest takes at minimum 7 turns. You would have to level up with food and drink and items such as Holographic pair o' dice.

• Since there is no limit to the amount of turns you can have at one time, the least amount of days required to complete a reset is, and will always be, 1.
