Following the announcement of a gold wipe:

• Players will start buying things they'll be able to use on the new server.
  • Millions of reg bags
    
  • Scrolls, bottles, etc from vendors.
    
  • Deeds
    
  • Resources from vendors
    
• Players will buy things that can be returned to cash when the server launches. (houses)
  
• Players will get angry.
  
• Non-english speakers might not hear about the wipe and quit because they didn't prepare.
  

The end result is that everyone gets angry, some may quit, only 90% of the gold gets wiped of the people who have the most and prepared for it, and we get a huge spike in items in the world which slows down world saves and adds lag.
