I had 59 yesterday...

Any idea ?

I hope I won't have to go through all the character initialization  again

lol, Yea, Steiner broke it (again)

Testing out a new web service for Skip/HS... sadly I used "update" instead of "insert".

Thankfully there are sql backups nightly... just gotta find em.

IT IS NOT APRIL 1st YET!
Not a funny joke, nooooooot funny!

Steiner

No, not an April's fool joke.

I was told that there was nightly backups, but never shown how to restore said backups. I'd refrain from using HS or Glycerine in the meantime.

May want to put something on the front page saying that if it will be a while until the backups are in place.

Good to know you can fix this, I nearly had a heart attack for a moment!   :o

Steiner

Ya so did I,

And SuckerPunch is the only one who knows how to restore it.

Have you checked under the bed? That's where I always find the things I've lost :P

Seriously, thanks for the warning on the front page and best of luck getting it fixed :)

This also changed the Avys and Sig Items here pertaining to CIT.  I have Steiner in my Avy and Sig slots :P.

You could just change them for now....

Steiner

Well. Idk, I asked SuckerPunch (the only person who can properly restore) to help and I got an "..." and he closed the chat... so I have no idea what the hell is going on.

I started glycerine and it added my main back...I hope this doesn't cause problems restoring my data.

Is there any update on this issue?

Yea.

Bad news; sadly the backups were set to backup on SuckerPunch's old machine, which crashed 3 days ago. And he's quite annoyed with me on that front, because this isn't the first time he'd have to save my butt from screw ups like this.

So I don't think we're getting back any of the messed up records.

I know it's pain in the "you know what" but we're going to have to reload all of our characters back on via Glycerine. I know HUGE pain in the duke.

There are measures being taken to ensure these things don't happen again.

My sincerest apologies for this mess up. I swear it won't happen again!

...hoo boy. Well I know what I'll be doing for tonight x_X My biggest regret will be having the date my char was created on site here because it was pretty much the only reminder I had when exactly I rolled a new char.

Is the bug where badge counts were being reported higher than the ingame # fixed?




Steiner

I don't believe so, I will take a look at it as soon as I have this sorted.
~Steinerd

mereman

Never mind mate. I bet (hope) it won't happen like that again :o

Oh well just have to log all in again. I might even play that alt I've been ignoring for so long ;)

Okay, cuz I think I'll hold off on going through and doing the settitle thing for my characters until that's sorted.




Steiner

You can do that, the count is wrong on the site, it will reflect the right count once fixed without you having to do anything extra.
