An update on the server vault

[Darkened Skies]

After a very long and stressful time, countless international phonecalls and a few dozen voicemails, the server vault is now safely back in Saulus' possession.

Watch this space, your character files are winging their way back to you!

Edit: As an unfortunate side-effect of the vault loss, there will be a wipe of anything done in the last 24 hours or so. This is completely unavoidable, unless anyone fancies asking Saulus to manually go through several thousand character files and manually copy only the ones that weren't affected.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but at least we have the vault back!

[Dirty Goblin]

Aw yea.

[Cornuto]

Shit, I leveled all my PCs to 30 today to.

( Just going to try it before anyone else does.)

[Darkened Skies]

It goes without saying that unfortunately we won't be able to restore anything lost in that 24 hours period. Even for Cornuto's epic effort.

[Starrizer]

Yay for finally getting 7-8 thousand exp today on my rogue and loosing it :P

Bah, oh well. More grinding ahoy :O Also - Any chance someone could tell me the value of 20CAD in USA Cash?

Edit: If any DM wants to say I am lying, I got fraps to prove it all :O So in yo face!

[Lothoir]

Can't the folders just be merged, then click 'Do no replace'? That way the new files won't be overwritten but missing files and folders will be added.

[Starrizer]

Don't think it works that way. Besides, its for the good of everyone that they just fix it anyhow. It may suck for some of the people because they did accomplish some things today, but you got to think about the others who lost COMPLETE characters. :P All in all, I can put up with a little gri-- I mean.. Um.. Killin.. of things.. and.. stuff..

*YOU CANT ERASE PEN! ZOMG!*

Anyhow - All in all, It is a good idea to just "Do not replace", but I don't think it is possible.

[Dirty Goblin]

Uh....

I just lol'd.

I may have lost a new character I made to kill time during the wait.. But!

Getting my level 9 cleric of Helm back? Yea.

I'm celebrating.

And it involves smoke.

[grant]

I made a sizable purchase with money from the bank, am I going to loose both the stags I had in the bank and the item I purchased?

Oh, and when is this going into effect?

[Lothoir]

Anyhow - All in all, It is a good idea to just "Do not replace", but I don't think it is possible.

You mean like this?

[Starrizer]

You mean like this?

I understand what you mean, but I don't think it works that way with server vaults. I know that type of this is available, but doing so with a vault may cause some complex things that can't be fixed.

[Dirty Goblin]

You clever sob.
You and your computational mumbo jumbo skills.


(With love, at Lothoir.)

[Saulus]

Can't the folders just be merged, then click 'Do no replace'? That way the new files won't be overwritten but missing files and folders will be added.

We'll see, part of the issue is the folders already exist and some of the files do but might be invalid. My solution is more perfect because it guarantees success.

[Catastrophe]

Success is always the best plan.

[Starrizer]

Saulus, if you can save my rogue Sevian Delvosh, I will glady (donate) PAY $10 CAD :P I don't wanna have to spend another 6 hours getting 7 - 8k


P.S. I am donating soon either way, I just hate having to Grind as a rogue >.<


Edit #2: I'm not begging :P I am bribing, get it right.

Edit #3: Well, I think peope have this skeptical view that people SHOULD assume things. No, nobody should have this view because people DON'T assume the worse, atleast those not depressed. Just an idea - Maybe I really did think that it wouldn't be a revert scenario. Also - I don't expect my character to be saved nor was I begging, it was more of a joke. I am one who particurly has a different type of humor perhaps? No I am not mad, and I have taken any comments to heart nor offence I am just clarifying some things.

( And my smiley face is there because I am smiling IRL) ( and now I apparently need some nice shades to pull of that grin )
