Hi, I played disco quite a bit a few months back but I've been away for a while. I decided to start up again with a fresh install on a new OS but all my characters seem to have vanished.
I saved two accounts using FAM and I've added them back into my game, each one loads but neither has any of my characters on it. :(
I can't quite remember what characters were on each account since FAM didn't copy over the notes for the accounts but the names I do remember are:
Strumpie
Dr.Oizo
Stud.Beefpile
Possibly or with a slight variation:
Strumpiet
Person49
Big.Mclargehuge
I had spread over the two accounts 1 BH VHF, 1 BH Bomber, 1 BH Gunboat, 1 Large Train, 1 Junker VHF and 1 Junker Bomber. Maybe some more ships, I really can't remember that well. -.-
I hope at least some of this information is useful, even if to tell me they're gone or if I've messed up somewhere and the characters do still exist. There is evidence that Strumpie and Stud.Beefpile did exist on the forums, so if an admin could just tell me the characters were deleted for inactivity or restore them (:laugh:) it would be much appreciated.
Yeah, lots of hard work lost but that's to be expected from such a substantial community driven project. Can't keep characters forever and things do get deleted.
I don't mind starting again but I just want to know what happened. I only play with friends so last time it was me and 2 buddies working together, speeds things up. This time it'll just be me and one friend but I've played freelancer and discovery so much I'm sure we'll set up quickly. (Gets out those old text files with trade routes in them)
Your characters were deleted due to inactivity that long ago, that there is actually no record of them at all.
Those that are lost in this fashion are never restored anyway, sorry.
