Logged in to the Foundry earlier today to see my quest was gone. I published it two months ago, it had 79 plays, 60 reviews. It never showed up on the new list, best list, or any other list. It had multiple play throughs on livestreams, video reviews and playthroughs showcased on yourtube by multiple reviewers, and now, just gone.
I had made two copies of that quest, as it was to be part of a 10-quest saga, I wanted to re-use certain maps and costumes. I had started editing one of those copies as my second quest. I deleted everything except for one map (the headquarters) and the costumes, as I wanted to get started on the actual second quest. The other was just named Copy of Dirty Politics, and I had loaded it multiple times to see that all of my stuff was there.
The second quest is untouched, which is good as I have two highly detailed maps already complete. Everything that should be there is there.
The other copy, however, is completely empty. The only thing that remains is the description of the quest. Everything else is blank.
And, of course, my main quest is gone. So is the campaign associated with it.
I can overlook no one being able to find my quest unless they search for it, that is fine with me. I can overlook bad reviewers, one star reviews, broken search systems and other faulty issues with the Foundry. But my quest, two months of my life, 230 hours worth of work, is now all gone.
I am writing this in hopes that a dev will see it, and maybe tell me that it's ok, there is a backup and we can restore it. Or at least "I will look into it and see what we can find out."
If the quest is gone, I don't know what to do. I would be fearful of trying anything with it at that point because I would be afraid I would lose it all over again. I don't want that fear. I just want my quest back.
My quest was deleted in July of 2013. There were no issues, it had not violated any rules. Was deemed a bug. That quest is still missing.
RIP - Dirty Politics May 21st, 2013 - July 30th, 2013
