Hello everyone,

During tonight's server maintenance, we discovered a critical issue for Archosaur server. After many attempts at fixing it, we decided the best and only way to fix this is to do a character roll back to a time when the server was at a stable state. We will be rolling back Archosaur to November 9th at 10:00 AM PST.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we'll be running 2x EXP, spirit, and drops for Archosaur after the servers open.

Hey everyone,

The rollback that occurred was chosen because it would ensure everyone would still have access to their characters on Archosaur.

2x EXP/SP/Drops was the only immediate compensation possible at the time, but I will be speaking with the managers on what our options are for further compensation. Whether that means a restoration of items, coins, etc lost over the past few days (Nov 9th-12th) is actually possible, I do not know.

I will keep you all updated as soon as I can.

Currently, we are working on getting everyone's lost ZEN transferred back to their in-game account. Those that charged ZEN into Archosaur during 11/9 @ 10:02AM PST - 11/13 @ 6:30AM will also receive their ZEN promotion rewards as well.

We are still looking into how to recover more from this rollback.
Updates will be coming.

ZEN Update:

All ZEN transfers into Archosaur that took place during the rollback time (11/9 - 11/13) should now have been properly restored. The gold should be listed in your account when you log in (push the O key).

If you log on and do not see the proper in-game gold in your account, please put in a support ticket so we can properly address your issue.

There has been some headway concerning options for further recovery, as well as compensation, and I will be providing an update on that tomorrow morning.

MAJOR UPDATE

As part of our on-going compensation efforts, we'll be giving out 5x Hyper EXP Stones to players who redeem the following coupon code:

3HTYJKE

It can be used only once per account, but for ANY server.

We are still looking into further ways to compensate for the rollbacks and various networking issues experienced recently, so expect more updates to come!


MAJOR UPDATE

We've continued brainstorming compensation available for the Archosaur server and have come up with more options:

- 2x chance for coin drops on all servers (never done before) and 2x EXP/Spirit/Drops
- 5x EXP (Archosaur specific)

Those on Archosaur will be receiving an email soon detailing more of our compensation efforts.
The Exp,Spirit,Drops, and Coin modifiers will be taking effect post maintenance this Tuesday night.

We're still coming up with more ways of compensation and will be updating this thread as new information comes about.

The Archosaur compensation codes were sent to:

- Accounts that are subscribed to PWE emails.
(We are not allowed to email unsubscribed accounts)

- Accounts that logged in to Archosaur during the rollback period. (11/9 - 11/13)

If you logged onto Archosaur during the rollback, and are unsubscribed to PWE emails, you may put in a support ticket.

These efforts are not directed towards those who did not log into Archosaur during the rollback period.

Also, the code can be redeemed for any character on any server, provided you meet the above criteria.



As for the dragon orb issue:

We are sending out emails with additional codes to those that are on the PWE email subscription and have logged into Archosaur during the rollback period. In the email will be 2 codes. Each one will give you a Dragon Orb.

I hope these details help clarify any misconceptions on this compensation effort.

    Holy cow an actual rollback having to occur.

    I remember how after the Duke Rose fiasco people were begging for a rollback and instead things were manually removed and dealt with, so I shudder to think of how bad whatever you guys found must have been to make a rollback actually happen. b:shocked

    Yep. Everything from November 9th at 10:01 AM til now goes poof. And if you traded something then it will be back in your inventory since that's how rollbacks work.


    ... Unfortunately, this also likely means you'll be missing attendance days due to the rollback. So no reward this month for those who can't get the make-up sheet.

    Ok, do you people not know what a rollback is or something?

    It means everything on the server and toons will be the exact same as it was on the stated date. Everything that happened after it is gone. if you bought anything after the states time, you won't have it.

    If you got an awesome pack item like a scroll of tome a day after the stated date, it's gone.

    We will be compensating those of you who made purchases during that time in the coming days.


    The purchases themselves will be reverted, however compensation is going to arrive.

    They will have to compensate ever single thing on the server, so that's gonna take a while, how, when and what is something only they can tell, if they are going to inform you guys about that is also up to them. They only said there will be compensation.
