To the guy that asked what happened.
We were playing happy along and I was doing the Rescue Von Bach quest. Boom, disconnected. At the time of the disconnect I was like ego level 124. Logged in about 2 minutes later and there were about 30 of us standing in the same place and my ego level was like 1275 or something like that. I had 84 ego points to spend. In addition weapon levels and vehicles levels wen up too. This happened to almost everyone on the server at the time.
Normally this would require a database roll-back to a point in time to right before the glitch occurred. Hopefully their database checkpoints are fairly often so it won't make so painful.
one last note before i go to bed:
due to the drastic difference in price it's been pointed out that, presently, t3 lockboxes are the better choice for gear farming with bits, due to price, and you (as i understand it) get the same # of items, of the same quality / RNG (random number generator for those curious) as a t4.
You guys have to learn patience.
If Trion really didn't care, they would have simply taken your money and left you with the product the way that it is. Is that what they have done? No, they have their tech support staff working around the clock to fix those issues. And yes that means that occasionally they have to bring servers down to fix the problems that we are all having.
If you seriously have to be connected to the game 24/7 and can't go without stepping away for a bit, then you have a bigger problem than just server maintenance woes... The game hasn't even been out a month yet so sit down and take a deep breath.
This is a guy that fails to consider that people HAVE stepped away from the game to deal with their responsibilities.

I don't feel entitled to anything, I've worked my *** off for everything I have in life.
But I will say this as a person who owns a business. Unhappy and vocal customers are bad for business. Offer them something to make up for it. It probably won't cost anything and might mean a lot to them. For example, when McDonalds screws my order up and has to redo it they offer me a free soda or dessert. Costs them pennies but makes me happier about the wait. It's just good business.
I lost my best weapons in the rollback, everything in my secondary weapon slots are gone. I don't feel that Trion owes me anything, but I'm not a happy customer right now.
