You ladies and gents have the communities appreciation.
Is there any word or knowledge on what caused the issue to begin with?
Was it a player-action based error? If so, please share so it doesn't become an issue again.
Happy to help!
Regarding what caused it, it wasn't any action by a player so no worries there, this was purely the result of a combination of server-side issues that occured late at night.
It's fairly technical but basically the server couldn't write to certain files because of it and when the server restarted, things broke.
Because only certain things broke and others were fine, it wasn't that straight forward and we had to spend a lot of time manually going through what got impacted by this and manually change config files in order to get things back to how they should've been.
We've since managed to implement additional checks to prevent this kind of scenario in future so this should hopefully never happen again.
