    What is also quite saddening is that the H Games yesterday that HeeroDa hosted on the Dawnglory server have also been rolled back. Are the rewards from the event going to be considered too? It was only a small amount of a reward that I received however for other participants it may have meant a lot.

    So Ive had some feedback from the team regarding this Emergency Maintenance.
    Update 08/19/23 AM


    The team has had to make the difficult decision to roll back the server. DA (EU)

    This has had to happen to allow for the recovery of anyone who was unable to log in.

    The roll back will be somewhere before Tuesdays Maintenance.

    With regards this was the only option available. This point has been made very clear.

    The team asked me to also apologise for this and hope to provide further detail in due course of what caused the issue.



    Thanks.
    That is, everyone who plays on DA will now lose, not only TW and XTW, but also absolutely everything they got for the whole week: sky, LVL, drop, house, infante, points factionbase and northern points, etc.?

    Yes sadly, this was really not the news I wanted to pass on but I feel its important to be open and truthfull.

    Thanks.

    Thank you hero for all the updates, just want to ask in regards to the rollback, what about all the rewards people won during the event you help last night?

    This is one of the things that im upset about. Truthfully im not sure at this point as I didnt write down the winners or prizes as I didnt think this was going to happen.

    The only good news is I will have the items back, and Ive learnt for next time to write down the winners.

    will have to make a call on this after some thought.

    Thanks.

    Im quight liturally gutted myself, I wanted to keep you all up to date. That was hard passing that info on. I spent time on Da last night as well which has been lost. It was important I was Truthfull and Open about it.

    I know it wont mean much at this point but I know they are putting together a package for all and ill get them to keep the bonuses active as long as they will.

    I hope you also get a possitive response from suport.

    Thanks.

    Please help, my character got wiped/deleted.

    I was just able to create a char under the same name it had 5 days ago when I made it ( a little bit prior to server maintenance)

    It was level 68 and now the account is completely empty.

    I really really need help, thanks

    You will have to recreate/restart your toon. The database got rolled back. There's nothing anyone can do to fix it.

    At least tell us this, is it worth doing anything and wasting time so the server rolls back yet again for the 3rd time or we are good to actually play this time without getting rear ended again since there are still some players who can't log into the game.

    The fact of running event that starts once server problems start and ends after rollback is kinda hilarious, ngl...

    And let me guess, I will not get any sort of compensation, correct?

    Heero, you went above and beyond to keep everyone updated on the issue, and that's way more than what we could ask for!
    ... Now i'll wait for the 4th or 5th rollback to play again, probably next month!

    I kept being asked if the server is now safe so Ive check with the team and had the below feedback as quote.

    "we expect no further rollbacks, as we went well back to a much safer point,"


    Thanks.

    The tickets are fine to be discussed as it's part of a server wide issue, but please do not include GM names.

    Thanks.

    Hello All,

    Below is feedback from the PWE team regarding the issues that happened on DA.
    Maintenace Started on Tuesday 08/15/23 night and was processed as normal, No errors reported, and no problems flagged from the checks. server opened as normal.

    CS inform the team they were getting reports of players being unable to log in. The team starts to investigate the issues reported. Shortly after the server crashes.

    The result of this investigation found that a disk failure had occurred. This is the main reason the issue took so long to resolve as someone had to physically go and replace it and rebuild it. unfortunately the repair script didn't work, thus rollback was the only option, to last 'good' save, which was during Tues maintenance.

    When restarting a couple of errors were caught, but resolved shortly, everything looked good and the servers were brought online.

    The team then had players ticket on toon issues again.

    another round of checks, confirmed the Maintenance rollback save might have corrupted script, thus current toon issue, thus need to rollback again. The decision to just rollback to hours prior to Maintenance rollback was taken. This was the only option.

    The rollback was then completed, and no errors displayed at all, very good sign. With checks completed the server was brought online.



    Summary: A hardware disk failure. which seem to have got corrupted caused the issues. This affected various listings in the game (ranking, guilds, charm, etc...) for Dawnglory server however, the issue wasn't triggering any errors during Maintenace checks, as the issue occurred while listings did checks/update as players log on to Dawnglory, thus eventual crash when enough players logged.

    Thanks.

    Update: If you have toon issues still (DA server) related to the crash can't log etc please can you make sure you log a ticket. If you already have you don't need to.

    The team will be using this maintenance to hopefully sort the last few issues.

    Thanks.
