Damn it! I lost 43 XP!
I lost like 14 mind's eye potions and you know how hard THOSE are to replace!
AGGGH! I had some dire blood too!
And what about The dandelion I found? :(

...good thing my only playing this weekend was the 2 hour class with Lohmar yesterday :twisted:

Lohmar, I owe you an ale.

2 ales.

and a hat.

A nice hat.

That looks good with a mug of ale.

...oh and Joridicius can have an ale too. But no hat.

For me this means,my nice new robes for joining an order, the staff i was given as a gift (which no way can i afford after this), about 600 gold and about 1100 XP, thats a lot for a low lvl. But at least my main char wasnt affected....... good job it didn't happen last week or she'd be out of 80000 gold and about 3000 xp.... as well as some very very nice items.

That would be a minor consolation but for the fact that none of my characters actually craft. I am lucky enough to have gained about 4 desert lilys and some cactus flowers though. *jumps for joy*

Just so you realise though, I am not itching at you guys, just the world in general, I absolutely 100% the action you took, I just wish it had happened on a weekend other than my single biggest XP haul!

Hey, just cos you have more characters than Kered has total XP! Some of us feel that sorta loss you know! :wink: I have been waiting the whole weekend for my forum for the Golden Path and unable to do 'pwt with that so I have been XP gathering while I wait, figuring I will be too busy to adventure for a while afterwards. It will now likely take at least two weeks to get the level that I got in three days this weekend.

*grumbles*

Ah, it ain't that bad, but I gotta rant you know! :wink:

Which in fact means that the items I took out yesterday and sold have vanished yes.
And of course the items / gold I got for them are gone too.
I can't consider that a consolation.

I do understand that the rollback was the only option no matter how much it is hated by most of us (and probably the Team too).

However, this brings a question to mind for me:
Is it possible to rollback the database 36 hours too ?
Not only for myself but I also heard from others they lost a *lot* of stuff this way.

At least I didn't take anything OUT of the chest (I think), so I will only have to remember what I placed inside to sort out the items that got duped.

2k xp down.. wouldn't matter that much if it weren't mostly from cookies. But at least it's not too hard to get back. Will just need another weekend.

But the worst part I will have to find a PC merchant to buy kits from again.. this means to travel to Elysia..argh!

But seriously.. could be far worse, so I should be happy...

Actually, I think that's worse in general - that means any items taken from a p-chest are gone, too.

Better for me, though, since I did lots of crafting; at least the items I made are still there.

And people have a go at me! Maybe I should just take up crafting to get my XP back. With a lore of over 50 I shoudl do quite well at XP from it. Totally OOC, but then so server wipes.
