Theoretically, the tome would go back to the original owner and so would the coin. If that's not the case, then yeah, I'd be making noise.

My post was addressing those who, for instance, hit the jackpot on Sunday with a SoT out of a pack. If the records are corrupt and there is no remaining evidence of that awesome prize, the powers-that-be are not going to go on my say-so, that I really did get a SoT. If they did, everybody would suddenly be found to have hit the jackpot.

It sucks, yeah, but we are going to have to deal with the irreparable suckdom of having permanently lost some stuff.

the 600+ mil i lost, was through such rare artifacts, i dont want to name them here as there would be people putting me in the faking list, but yeah, am in deficit to be exact of 622mil from this toon, and then another 10mil from my shop alt. None of which are returned....

Also some weird points, charm usage never rolled back, Auto-pot timer didn't roll back, TW map didnt roll back.... and i just hope as some one pointed out, that as you are not replying your actually trying to figure how to get things back to normal.....

Alot of ppl saying there is some terrible LAG and LAG spikes on Arch server, so..its everything possible now...we shall stop buying and selling and opening stuff b:laugh PWI can you make a DB backup?? like fast..like..NOW? so we want loose anymore, btw why dont PWI makes a daily backup of the DB? just wondering

I suspect that Defender of Dreams didn't meet his self-imposed deadline because his superiors were less-than-receptive to his ideas.

Yeah, I'm going to "move on" because I don't think there's anything more to be accomplished here, other than to catch DoD's announcement, if one is forthcoming.

I can't shout PWE into submission and I'm not close enough to go knock on their door. So I'll play on and hope that the resolution to the problems get incrementally better.

i dont know what you mean by moving on, for one thing is sure, am not going to work on my gears or toons any further. 600mil + is a huge loss for a wizard, and with the present market situation with saturation of TT gold mats, even the only farmable instance TT isn't worth it. Yes i will log on to say hi and bye to people as i normally have my toons logged on but thats all about it, i dont even have the money to buy a charm..... thats how much it sucks....

I think people are getting more & more angry as no one from PWI has had at least the decency to give us an update on what's going on b:surrender

Read the first POST, after last update Admin went to slepp cause he is human to and he have work time, he said he will update what he knows today morning(server time), so just be patience and wait for the update.

"We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we'll be running 2x EXP, spirit, and drops for Archosaur as compensation."

I am NOT compensated and do not feel secure enough in your abilities to run the server to waste the time on the 2x. My FAITH in you is the worst damage.

My losses, while not inconsiderable, are minor compared to some. For what it is worth I lost: 150 - 160 Mil in coin from catshop sales of equipment gained from AUE, FW, NW, FC, Lunar..... and not least, opening packs. 2 rare book drops from multiple AEU's, 18 Warsong Inscriptions, 24 Basic Badges, 4 Rotating Cogs of Fate, 162 NW Tokens, 42+ mil Exp across 3 toons, most from the 102 lvl one, a myriad of other minor items, and the faith that this wont happen tomorrow, or next week, or next month. I have spent rl cash on the game and naturally, the vast majority on the ones most effected.

The most galling is the loss of items I purchased and gave to my In-Game wife, who I actually like, unlike my rl ex-wife. The items are gone, the coin I used to buy them are gone, and it looks like they are gone form the sources of purchase.

No, 2x does NOT compensate. How do your earn back trust with that?

I will not be spending any more rl $ until I am compensated to MY satisfaction. I will discourage people from joining the game. Those that I have recommended it to over the 5 years that I have been playing will make their own decisions, but many have already sought my input. If I am not compensated to MY satisfaction I will leave. Most of the server will not cry a tear and my monetary contributions will hardly cause PWI to go bankrupt, but enough of us who do spend rl $, and many in amounts that dwarf my own are doing the same.

has DoD said anything yet? he said this morning, and its now afternoon, i just dont want to go read back through all theses posts b:sad

oops nvm guess not. LOL ... anytime PLS

It's certainly easier for me to triage my damage and keep going. There are a lot of folks who were devastated, and you appear to be among those hardest hit. Wish I could help but I'm just a poor little archer supporting a whole family of PWI minions.

I hope you find some measure of justice ..... or at least mitigation.

What was once done... cannot be undone.... but perhaps..... it can still be mittigated....

I don't know if someones knows the average number of people that attend NW on Archosaur, but I think this would be interesting to compare that average to the number of peple that will attend NW this week

I don't have a exact number but the number has been going down as players leave the game. But it is around 180-250 per nation x 4 so there ya go.

Yah I hear that, I'm going to get drunk farm TT for my factees and hope my proposal for the GMs to do my sins culti for me this time around gets some legs. Good luck everyone b:victory

PewPew did you manage to re-buy your tome? Surely the seller was still interested.

Afternoon Is Not Morning

Anyone in the I.T. world knows before any maintenance to a server you have a backup. Where was this backup? Why was a rollback necessary? Is it because they did not find the critical error until days later? I been in I.T. for over 20 years and seen some dodgy **** but it is not hard to rollback code to a more stable version and still restore the part of the database that help all the players progress. I hope this is not a start of things to come!

I'm happy to offer my technical skills for free in order to stop nonsense like this from happening again!

Yes Yes PWI can use my HDDs for daily backup, so if something goes wrong You can do a backup from my HDD b:laugh The secrets will be in good HDD ! b:laugh
Ohh and i have no idea how to put item IDs in DB so its defintely safe !

Here is the big issues you have to compensate
• Extreme lost of trust
• Lose of player base
• Lose of profits due to the above mentioned
This goes double for any person that heads up, and helps run factions, as now they are faced with helping either there friends, or loyal members. Dealing with being set back, and having everyone in there faction set back. Having to redo possibly long culties like full deltas, or one of your most annoying updates, SOT culti.
What compensation could be made?
• Faction base exp/merit returned
• NW tokens be resent out
• Exp/Quests done
• Return of items bought and sold threw AH
The other items I do not know if there is any way to track them. I am not even sure besides NW tokens if there is any way to track the rest of these items. Frankly I do not think anything will be done, and I would love to be proven wrong. I do think they will put a small band-aid in a huge gapping cut of trust, and except it to settle us down. This in turn will cause more outrage, and even more loss of trust due to there lack of fixing a issue, and poor management of data back up.

Now that they've rolled things back, I'm not even sure these things can be checked anymore.
