eq wipe, when?

[Aj]

when is this eq wipe supposed to take place? it is a black cloud hanging over my head, it is taking alot of the fun out of the game for me since the eq I collect wont exist sometime in the near future. why cant just the uniques be removed from the game?

there are very few reasons to play on this mud
