the IG Journal

[vexxen]

im not sure if its only me who uses journal, but just a question out of curiosity, after each update or a certain amount of time, does the journal you can write in wipe itself? anything to shed light on this would be apreciated

Whatever you put in the IG journal stays there. I use it all the time to write down people that I have met and important things that I have happened to me.

[Redjack]

I use it for notes. I haven't lost anything I wrote down.

Your journal is persistent though you can delete what you write in it if you wish.

[vexxen]

yes, i know, but mine seems to have wiped itself, i looked inside it and everythings now gone. i never cleared it or anything, i just randomly started back on the "stormy seas" and checked my journal after, and all the stuff i typed on it was gone, all notes about ore veins, people ect.

[Verrath]

That sounds more like the information in the database was wiped. You shouldn't restart at the seas with an already existing character.

Your journal is kept on your side; it's persistent as said, and if you happen to go to another server (god forbid) and create a char with the EXACT same name, you'll have all the information you typed from any other server with the same char name.

journal is kept locally as a .txt file

Juney's is rather extensive. it's much easier to edit it with notepad than the buggy ingame editor.

My level 8 fighter came in on the boat yesterday also. The other charcter was fine. Have to check my journals. Might be something to do with the updates to thje server.

[vexxen]

alright, i havent been on another server, havent cleared it myself ect. i just logged in and it was gone. i havent touched it since probably two or so days before the update. so theres nothing else that could have possibly happened then?
