Sounds like a suckbag situation, hope you two aren't up all night.  


I hope so too. Last night was a long night tracking down the idiot who decided to sign up for the forums with some nasty names.

If we hadn't been doing that I was literally planning to make an emergency recovery backup last night, but after we were done finding the people responsible for the fun, it was too late to do anything else with the server.

The fundamental problem is this: The first word we learn as children is NO. From that point forward society teaches women that saying no isn't polite, and society teaches men to respect those who wont take no for an answer.

Perhaps we can arrange some offsite Internet backups for you. 


There's actually already an offsite backup at our house with the unreal files, the forum database, the web server, all on a secondary server there ready to light up there (with reduced player capacity) if the server in the co-lo ever goes away for any length of time. It just happes that the offsite backup got bad data for that file during it's previous run. This was just an unfortunate series of events...

I guess we are called DisastrousConsequences for a reason

]By the way can we help on something? Parsing data or text files etc? Ill be glad to give it some hours. 


Thanks for the offer. Due to the somewhat confidential nature of what's contained in the RPG data, I'd like to avoid handing it out freely. If there is any way we can use help though, I'll put out the word here.

Thanks for all the support.

Little question, but if I'm getting this correctly... anyone below level 36 that started past that date is going to have to start over again?

Therp, anyone that was less than level 36 on Mar 25 will have no stats. That is why we are doing the double xp. It should get you back to level 36 in no time; however if you feel like you have been short changed by this deal in some way, you may send an email to unreal@disastrousconsequences.com and we will do our best to accommodate you individual concerns.

Dru and Shan, no problem

I just got up to level 39 last nite and don't even remember where I was when you made your backup. Keep up the good work and if I can help in any way with my limited skills, let me know.

At least, it's software and not hardware...............Take your time cause everyone will survive without their nightly fix of invasion on DC.

Sorry to hear about the trouble.

I must say I feel somewhat guilty. You see I have a couple days off work an dhad planned to get in some extra play time and levels during that time. As Murphies Law would have it sure enough this all happened. A small part of my soul tells me if I was at work the server would be fine!

But all aside, that sounds like a very fair solution to me and I just wanted to pop in and say thankyou for all the hard work you do on this server.

Yeah, without you two, we wouldn't even have this server, or this community..

Dru & Shan,
Hope you don't lose sleep over this!
There are so many people in most of the world that don't even have internet, let alone a cool rpg server to play on!
I'm just grateful you good folks do what you do and allow us to take part.

It is funny that the DC name turned out to be prophetic!

But, alas, it is a game and using my criteria for disaster assessment:
(no one dead, non one bleeding), it's all good.

I trust you'll do your best just as all the players will to pick up the pieces...
Peace

Have no fear!

We have a backup of all players level data who were level 36 or higher as of 3/25/06. We will modify the players RPG data to reflect that updated base level.  


Everybody be cool. Be cool like Fonzie. With the double exp, even if you have to start from scratch it takes about 5 - 10 hours to level to 20 (even for newbies), so with this double exp thing, we are all gonna get some sweet cheddar out of this.

Mmm... cheddar...

Also, I want to help out so to make it easier, my LA char was at uh... level 187 and my LW char was two levels below Diry_Deeds. I think like 584. No, probably 752. Yeah, that's it. I'm sure of it.
