    7 hours rollback wont fix the economy...only a wipe would do that and as far as they say, we are in open beta, so whats the problem - wipe and fix it, thars the only solution to fix the economy...

    Wow invasion of the Join Date: May 2013 Users and they all seem to be either defending the game or asking for a wipe. Employees and banned exploiters on new accounts?

    You didn't pay attention to the previous post addressing this.
    Banned exploiters won't be able to use the same exploit, so why ask for a wipe? It would remove all their work & they'd get nothing out of it.
    As for employees... well, my forum name is my @handle. You can find me in CO or NW under it. I activated my forum account to comment & ask questions about the open beta.
    The day after April 30 is May 1, which was the day after open beta hit, thus explaining the May accounts.

    I think your tinfoil hat is on too tight.

    Grab the exploiters' email and shoot'em a virus for me...while you're at it. send one to the pvp afkers as well...low life mongrels!!!

    The ppl that are claiming they have known about the bug prior to that morning....why the heck wasn't it reported!!!....either report the bug on first discovery or STFU IMHO. As something as serious as this I'm sure even a low number of reports of this nature would have got the immediate attention it needed.

    Being a man of logical, the first ppl I would be looking at to see if there are any more perps. would be the people that have known about it and said nothing.

    To PW: A hard one to rectify with the community, you guys have got your work cut out for yas that's for sure...I for one am glad to see such a vigorous means of correcting this issue (to lose a couple of hours is a piddle in the pool to the time I am willing to spend on this game)...still doing a great job IMO keep it up.

    all of you saying wipe is usless see the above.. see when that post was made....and this was done AFTER the original exploiter group got all they wanted which god knows how long ago was that.... no wipe rule ? are u <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ? u want to play a game with broken economy and market where that original group of exploiters still will stay on top ?? how naive and <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> are you ?

    I think that this hole thing is a shame its turning into a very good game and like always a few very dishonest people spoil it for the many wish more people told on these people and they get proper banning

    That is like life; which is why I endorse the death penalty.

    I've put in a request for a refund. This is far too weak to combat a bug that has been in since day one, and was already known and dealt with in STO over a year ago. This exploit alone even with the rollback is enough to wreck the economy for months to come, but it also comes after a string of other exploits that have already weakened the economy.

    yeah did the same - feel scammed like hell...

    No, it's the only solution you can think of. Obviously, the devs have other plans.
    A complete wipe wasn't necessary when similar things happened to WoW, UO, EQ or Diablo 3, so why would they be here? The economy will be fine; at most, it'll take a few weeks to straighten itself out again. That's how it's worked since the beginning of MMOs.

    Just a guess, but I'm assuming that... with the 30th of April being when "open beta" started, a lot of ppl discovered and joined on that following date? May goes back several weeks, eh? Were almost in June now.

    Hm, 7 hours rollback - great, all progession I made yesterday with my friends is gone. I don't care about items / AD / AH while leveling, since most items will be opsolut when I hit 60, but TIME is important to me. How you gonna replace MY TIME I have spent?

    ....With a generous consolation prize. They cant turn back time, they cant give you things you have lost but they ARE trying to compensate you in some way like any professional and courteous company would.

    So, instead of arguing with PWI over what they should do - I just want to know: what's the ETA on server's coming back up?

    Your point is flawed. If you are trying to prove that the game is live then why do you want it to be wiped? It would make more sense if you thought it was still in beta...

    I do like the idea of a new server that persons have an option to migrate to. No wealth or character migration, just your account unlocks and starting over.

    I can't understand how they can't think of a so simple solution. This can make EVERYONE happy.

    - people asking for a wipe? go to new server
    - people telling the economy is ruined? go to new server
    - people wanting to keep their progress? keep on playing on the old servers

    it's so easy...

    Actually I don't know if anyone asked this but what about the items that were on auction during the time of the exploit? Will they still be in the auction? I hate to see empty auction houses and people losing their loot to exploiters.

    I work during the day on the weekends, and sleep a lot at night so this rollback won't effect me or my characters much. But I look forward to the apology package at the end of the week. I just wonder if not being able to get on today will effect my Ardent/Celestial Coin numbers? Will my Ardent/Celestial Coin numbers rollback to 0 due to the downtime/rollback?

    That's not going to happen since Cryptic did announce that all three shards will eventually be merged into one.
