I seriously hope they decide not to do a wipe.
But if they do, please refund all zen to paying customers.
The company won't lose any $.
Zen can only spent in game & not at strip clubs or on prostitutes.
Obviously you never been to the RP bar in the conclave!
It sounds like there will be a rollback since they mention timeline. That is as good as a wipe for me since all my progress was over the last couple of days. I'll take is that they don't want me playing anymore and I will have no confidence that they won't rollback again.

Thank you for your efforts Dezstravus!
One suggestion: Consider setting up an official Google + account as well as another means to share Neverwinter information ...

it sucks my only playable day is a sunday and its down all day! thanks dicks who like to cheat
Keep up the great work guys! As long as you don't get rid of dwarves I'll still be here. I do wish you would get the game back up. I seem to be dodging a lot when I play my cleric and that is less time for me to drink.... so you can imagine my intake right now
I would prefer a wipe over a roll back..... Rollbacks are a band aid on a bigger issue, a wipe is a fix

All I care is next time Exploiters, do your craft during the week! Takes me days to organize a good chunk of time away from the family to play. Good job PW, not blaming you
Holy carp can you not read? Using duped AD is not the same as duping AD. Is taking a **** the same as being ****? In your case yea, probably.
You are both missing the point entirely. he may not have duped the AD himself, but he knowingly posted severely overpriced items on the AH with the expectation of the items being purchased with the duped AD. thus "cashing in" on the exploit intentionally. Therefor this person and anyone else who did the same should be held to the same accountability as the people duping the AD. They knowingly took advantage of the exploit in the AH, though with different methods.
As a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> disabled veteran software-gaming architect founder - I find this all very amusing. Besides, it's CLEARLY QA's fault.
Nuh-uh! It's clearly the designers faults for not writing proper specs!

Ahhh yes, the magic IT professional emerges. At least one in every downtime thread, hoo-rah.
As for your Java comment, it'd require actual proof of your name and contribution than "I did it here you can check"
We have to do something when there is downtime. If I write we software and contribute it, by law, must contain my unmodified source code header and my licensing agreement. Easily validated. I just havent checked to see if Sun/Oracle still releases the Java hSDK source code. Minded, I had to open support cases with Microsoft because of their closed source model for Internet Explorer. Justice department forced Microsucks to disclose the source for IE. That would have saved me a month or so of work but oh well.
on a posotive note, during the downtime I made home made guacamole, and am now sitting here eating home made guacamole and chips reading these posts and having a great laugh.
will we be getting an update once you have triple checked it and are ready to post it and then post it with an update about the update coming later after the update. what biscuits have you got in this meeting ?
i'm against a full wipe.
...
and a post in the forum was mentioning entering a negative bid in the AH to gain AD?
was it really as simple as that?
The creators of the game have even said there will be now wipe, rollback maybe but wipe. And if there would be a wipe i think alot of people (at-least me) would stop playing. Rollback on specific accounts would be the best but probably major work, so a global rollback is probably more realistic.
Yes you could create a -amount in the gateway... auction house and you would instantly receive the amount of diamonds ingame. The game client had - disabled but the browser auction house have not, this accompanied with flawed logics made this possible.
Support for the game seems lacking and ticket system for your report seems to not work (i got a ticket number on screen but no ticket seems to be created). This downtime is unnecessary and avoidable if people would just think before they exploit in such extent, as it is a Beta we are supposed to report the bugs to the creators not expose them to everyone so it will be used.

You agree with Rhiandriel defending her son by misspelling "<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>" three times in a row? Congrats for not spotting a troll.
Original post has been edited, so now you can both go back to enjoying the engrossing, intelligent and ordered conversation that you've been trawling through 150+ pages of.
And read my reply, just because I mispelled a word, albeit three times, (yes I'm poor at spelling, yes I'm slightly dislexic so what!?) does not make me a troll
ROFL I will always defend my son, my son does not need people like you bringing him down.
And for the person that called me a bad parent, I'd like to see you bring up an autistic child and laugh at pictures of special needs children being called "<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>"
There I spelt the word right now, are you happy? Geez....
As much as I think a wipe is most logical here as well, unfortunately, folks, they have stated it will not happen. So voting for a wipe is futile. It looks like we shall just have to see what fix they have in their official announcements and hope we are back in and playing soon.

WIPE WIPE WIPE, refund my ZEN not my cash.
Everybody in the OB has a few weeks tied up into this game.
A GOOD game is worth playing for a few months, a GREAT game is worth playing for years.
Sac the few weeks and move on, what's a few weeks to a game that has the potential to be GREAT.

Please. Send me a PM. Give me your linked in profile. I will send you mine. You will see professional Software/Electrical engineering experience dating back to 1980's. And yes, I did do this. I had to port NTLM and Kerberos authentication to Java SDK years ago. Download the Java SDK source code from Sun/Oracle and you will see my name in the C/C++ code.
Oh ho! So now your true intention is revealed! Trolling the Internet for nerd kiddies to lure them to linkedin so God knows what happens next!
You divert the discussion, but you were wrong and you know it. Calling other idiots in the process meh, good for you.
I'll be in protectors enclave when the servers come up and I'll be naked, lets talk about NAT then *wink*
Cryptic needs to make the honest folks, whether they are in a guild or not, feel like they are pro-actively making this a better place. They are proving their weight in gold, tonight.
I know I agree and I'm very grateful for this. Despite my views on anything else. With plenty of other game companies you couldn't get even an official forum post on the weekends. Much less an emergency maintenance.

I still hope they change their mind wipe the server and refund the zen from sales page on people accounts would not be too hard. Cross fingers

Man this has been kinda stressful, keeping up with this news. I don't want to lose my progress because of a few exploiting crooks. I don't have millions of gold or any epic items; the 2.6 AD I have is from buying the Hero and Guardian packs. But what I have, I earned. The ONLY Hero/Guardian gear I have equipped so far is the Graycloak's Legacy sword. I wanted to play the game on its own terms as much as possible, starting out.
I have every rare item (or almost, at least) rumored to drop from the Cloak Tower because I spent between 5 and 6 hours SOLOING it yesterday morning. I got into fights that lasted almost 20 minutes. I consumed over 40 potions and over 100 health stones. It was one of the longest, hardest-fought missions any any MMORPG, second only to a Mission Architect mission I did once in COH.
Taking that progress away from me would be a slap in the face.

I have no knowledge of this exploit, I only get my Astral Diamonds by in-game playing.
Thank you for keeping us, players of whats going on. I do appreciate this notice.

"We haven't announced the action plan -- stay tuned, should be soon -- but probably somewhat. Older missions will be unaffected."
Pretty much confirms a shard rollback of some description
