**** Roll back was ****...

[Jeronan]

=\ Was waiting for the servers to come back up but this sounds like a total joy kill.

It was an emergency down time, right? I really wish if they were going to down the server, they'd flash it on the screen (where you can SEE it) instead of in the small chat box :| It goes unnoticed by most.

This is not a case of emergency downtime, but a total server crash with either corrupted database (hence rollback) or poor backup implementation, causing huge rollbacks with each server crash depending on what happens to the database transaction log.

Either way.... this is poor and doesn't bode well for the near future, as it's bound to happen again.

These kind of Things.... if happen frequent enough can be a real game killer, threatening the future survival and success of this game.

Server crashes can happen, especially in the launch period! But losing lots of progression and items due to database rollbacks is just plain bad and should not happen with a Live game!

Was wondering cause it was kind of sudden. I do glance down at the bottom when I open the menu to see if there is any chat (usually just telling me I'm bound to a region or that I just completed a mission) and didn't notice any server warnings. So it was just a sudden server crash? =\ Kind of expect something like an MMO to have characters backed up up-to-the-minute but this is my first MMO (PS3 user). Gonna check on my character in a bit.

Looks like I lost a couple of hours of quests,not a big deal really since I didn't really like the weapons I got in the first place from the tier 4 chests lol

I Wonder what happened with People that bought Bits during that time and spend it.
As Your Money is gone and so are Your bits.

An excellent question. One would assume the transaction area is one place they have records they can refer back to...

At this point I'm just going to to copy paste, Trion should sticky something about our problem so we can just have one thread rather than filling up this section with one question, also you are not alone.

umm what about when a mission is done but you lost the reward it was a purple ar from a story mission now what i did not sell it if i cant get it back i might as well delete the toon and redo the toon

An excellent question.

Accounts work on separate servers and NA/US servers crash won't affect total balance and account-wide costumes. Character-specific items may be gone (loot from store-bought lockboxes).

Mentioned in another topic. Seems the CashShop and BIT purchases are also affected by the Rollback!

What a joke! I am absolutely dissapointed in TRION! What happened to the Company that handled RIFT so well?
It's like a total different Company with this game being handled by a bunch of amateurs!

- No working chat system
- No loot in Arkfalls
- Database rollbacks of this magnitude on a live game
