Wipe

A Wipe on Dragonball Encore refers to one playing session. Usually in the realm of the game, this lasts for roughly a hundred years, some being cut much shorter because of save problems or other issues, including the story of the wipe becoming stale or stagnant. Depending on the Year Speed, the amount of time in real life a wipe takes can range from a couple of weeks to longer than a month.

Wipes do not occur even if a player whose character is important to the story is banned or quits. However, if the story is not progressing, it may be wiped. Sometimes, a playerbase consensus can request a wipe.

Wipes do sometimes have 'connections', whether just in the story or in characters, to previous wipes. For instance, the character of Promotheus is roleplayed as being one hundred years older for every wipe he is in, meaning that he is actually the same character. Other links include when an end-wipe event from the previous wipe somehow affects the start of the next wipe... e.g. Thanatos destroys universe, life reborn etc.
