can we just do a roll up? popcorn

 

thanks for the laugh.

 

my suggestion to the staff:

 

pull out all the stops on this compensation event. exp bonuses, drop rates, free items, etc. do everything you can to show to your players and customers that they are appreciated.

 

in fact, naming the event an appreciation event isn't too far off.

 

also, please hold an IM bonus for 2 weeks. say, 50% increase.

i just started playing again 2 weeks ago ;-;

i cri evrytiem

That is not quite correct. There is a corruption in any daily database back to 3/28. This corruption was not noticeable, because it didn't affect any actual player.

 

If it's not very noticeable then it should be possible to at least do a partial recovery from older backups and page/index data. Did anyone actually try this?

I was told that this has been tried several times. Also I have been told by the producer that this rollback was hard to accept for him. To be honest, I also don't fully understand what happend. 

All what I honestly can tell you is, that the staff tried the very best to prevent what lastly had to happen. They kinda had a breakdown when they finally had to accept that there is no other way.

WHATT whe doing with the lost IM ........

 

[Fliederduft78]

Poppie said, we are getting them back.  

He said the producer told him  this should happen already today (in the other thread, with the producer statement).

I just thought of something, It seems the hardware failure was not the cause of the database corruption since that happened already on March 28. It was when trying to restore the database that the corruption was discovered, so maybe the hardware failure was a stroke of luck. Like, if the hardware failure had happened say a month from now, the rollback would still have been to March 28 and we would have lost even more progress...?

Yes, you're right. It was a stroke of luck that the hardware finally failed completely last Saturday and not 6 months in the future. And you're also right saying we would have had to rollback everything to the exact same date as now.

 

The database corruption itself is caused by the same failure that finally resulted into a complete malfunction of the hardware. And so it finally broke. This was a combination of different incidents which were unpredictable to happen all at the same time and therefore it has completely undergone our safety systems. As our Producer already stated, it was a freak incident.

 

It was the worst what ever could happen and as bad as it is,  we can be kinda "happy" that it decided to break now and instead of 6 month in the future. It was a blessing disguise.

... I'm freaking glad the little plastic thingy decided to let go last week instead of in a few months. 

Madoka bless the 'luck' we've had here.

If it had been a few months, I think there would have been another kind of trouble as well because the "guild obsolesence" would have kicked in.

 

If a guild master doesn't log in for a certain amount of time (don't remember exactly how long, maybe it's two months?) the title is automatically transferred to a vice master (or a common member if there is no vice master, I assume). But with a rollback, it would be like no one in the guild had logged in and there would be no one to become the new guild master.

 

So in this case it's possible that all guilds would have been deleted.
