I read about a wipe well before CB started too. They would be dooming their game if they do not do a wipe.
Wiping:
Pros: gets rid of hackers. starts fresh. keeping all the players who like the game, rather than scare them away while letting hackers reach huge levels.
Cons: none
Not Wiping:
Pros: makes the kiddies happy
Cons: making it so that hackers rule the game. Scaring away huge numbers of players from ever going back (like me). All the kiddies will cry because they don't understand what closed betas are for, but they will make a new character anyway.
