Rewind and reboot

[Petroni]

Another post deals with how we got here, this post deals with what happens next

There will be a rewind tonight taking us back until last Frday at about 6.30pm

This will restore a database we believe to be safe and sound. It will also restore all the items, cash, TM, stores, gamepoints, gamegold that you had at that time. It will not restore all the exp, levels, items, upgrades, trades or cash you have made since Friday.

Before the rewind we will extract the user information from the current database. We will also take a copy of the useritem information (kit worn and storages). This will allow us to rewind and then add the exp you have gained up until now.

The only items that will be replaced with be those that have been DROPPED to you and are RARE. The Hell helmet that dropped is one example, the GreatFoxBrace is another.

To recover these rare items you will need to take a screenie of the item. You then make your claim on this post so everyone can see what is being claimed. Do not upload the screenie at this stage as most of these items are known already and do not need proof. However if proof is requested you will be expected to be able to provide it.

Simple rule. This is hard enough as it is, so anyone found cheating and deliberately trying to con, cheat or take unfair advantage of this misfortune with have their chars deleted, so don't.

All trades you have done for nice stuff since Friday will have to be done again. Some stuff will fall into the cracks and I am sorry about that but it is inevitable. We will do the best we can.

Any other questions?

[Edit - yes any skill levels will be restored, just take a screenie before rewind]

We have studied the logs. The errors are shared below for your information. We have had no errors today. We have no reason to beleive the database is damaged (or that it isn't :s).

The impact on players of any rewind is always best avoided when it can be and we are going to take the calculated risk that this error has not damaged the files.

There is no reason at all to believe that SleeveofWizard is in any way responsible for this problem, only that his char has somehow been caught in the data that was written so don't give them a hard time as they did nothing wrong that we are aware of.
