Rollback: Happening Now

[Ponge]

Maybe we need to spell it out for you
A rollback was announced on September 14th
They did not say it would be rolled back to the 10th of August
Between the 10th of August and the 14th of September, there was no word of a rollback happening
Nobody said to not progress during the month of August, they said do not progress during the month of September

THIS is exactly everyone's problem, me included.
When Prowler told about a rollback, it was NOT an official announcement, and no announcement followed until the release of the beta. So the August rollback was just a rumor, no solid backing to it anywhere, and later on, admins told that very likely there will be no rollback.

Are the whiners the type of people, that find a bench that says "wet paint" and still sit on it, the type of people that when get told "dont touch it burns" and you put your finger on it and then blame the sign makers

it was stated that a rollback would happen, yes the date is 10th august

but it clearly said not to progress your chars!!!

it beggers belief!!!!

Nice to see the friendly side of the community showing its face...
Well done.... *slow clap

FYI it said there would be a rollback after the 4.87 rollout happened not before.
It also was not announced after numerous requests for what to expect, when to expect it and how the rollback would occur and affect users..

So to conclude.....there was no sign about wet paint....just wet paint.....
The flame that was burning was ethenol so was not obviously visible to the naked eye....and there was no sign or anyone stood near by who knew what they were talking about in relation to fire and fire protection announcing the fact...

Lack of signs, lack of info.... lack of communication.

Theres no smoke without fire my friend..... people wouldn't be moaning if there wasn't a reason to moan.

indeed, totally agree with you!!
It was better a rolleback to 14/09/2013 ....and the Beta was on 15/09/2013 and not 10/08/2013 :S

"Theres no smoke without fire my friend..... people wouldn't be moaning if there wasn't a reason to moan. "

In fact you destroyred hours of hours of liftime spent by dozens of people who were NOT prepared for such things. Keep on your work, im done with discovery freelancer, i worked so hard for my users and now all is just... gone.

Actually...on the 15th August Prowler said he thought there would be a rollback. Later on another admin said that Prowler hadn't discussed with the others and that there was no reason to assume there would be a rollback.

And then we were told to ignore Prowler by other admins. If I said right now "There's going to be a rollback", and aerelm or someone said to ignore me, would you continue to act as if there was going to be a rollback?

If that was a response to my post, care to read what I wrote again?

Care to actually read the posts before so you would know that I was not speaking to you?

i can understand your frustration about the exact time/date the rollback was going to happen

but i see it as this, as i stated before, the devs needed to find out the exact date/time that the cheating was going on,

so they worked to fix it, meanwhile they were working on the 4.87 update, which isnt anything to do with the rollback, it was just an unfortunate time that the 4.87 was nearly ready to be released, when they found out about the cheating

so

the withheld the release of the update until they could sort out the cheating

and then released 4.87 as a beta to update and fix it, to help us all out

they announced there would be a database rollback, but they wouldn't really know how far to go back until they found all the issues/bugs/cheats

its unfortunate that its just over 2 months ago, but if its necessary to go back that far to make a safe and stable server that everyone can enjoy then so be it

I've been reading all posts, and since everyone is posting at the same time, I quote, you forgot to quote and your response was below mine.

[roadrunner]

quiste there is a reason that it is wise to trust a rumor, and take precacuions when you hear the word Rollback.

so your fault.

now play the game

Well your just a regular forum members, so I wouldn't trust you in the first place, especially if an admin then said to ignore you. However Prowler at the time was an admin and the reasoning behind it made sense. Infact it seemed like the only option, so I thought it was worthwhile keeping that in mind, despite the other counter-warning.

And in the end it worked out great for me and my factions.

So the August rollback was just a rumor, no solid backing to it anywhere, and later on, admins told that very likely there will be no rollback.

They never said it was very likely there would not be a rollback, they said that there was no reason to assume there would be. That is a very important, yet subtle distinction.

Even though Prowlers announcement wasn't "official" it is still an admins opinion on the issue and so worth taking into consideration. Especially when it seemed so likely anyways, and despite the counter post made later.



Anyways, enough crying over this, best just move on, re-earn those creds and have fun. Any folks who now need cash are always welcome to buy Platinum ore from the Platinum| boys
