And also please only report HMW related bugs in this thread.
If there's a problem with the forums or other parts there's a bug reporting thread in GD. Let's try to keep this one relatively "clean" to make it easier to track and fix HMW bugs.

Quick stupid question, given I've been out of the loop for a while.
Has the master reset switch been flicked or something, because when I logged in, all my characters and such were gone, it was like my little makebeleive machines had never existed?

Yep. There was damage to the database, recovery was impossible so it was all reset.

Yeah I know,...sucks,...but until the HMW2 comes out we'll deal with it, and it'll be worth the wait!

Is it just me, or are rankings stuck? My tracking sheet indicates that no one in my team has risen or lowered in the ranks in almost a month. Thought maybe it was just my team not moving, but then I glanced at my team page and noticed some of the rankings were a little... odd. For example, Northclaw has more XP than Sixshot, but Sixshot has a higher ranking.

This happened when I was editing a character:
CHARACTER SUMMARY
Name: Axium
Team: Ascending
Cmdr: nemesis zenith
Level: 0
Experience: 0 xp
Wexbcfpon: Metallikato Strike
Armor: None
Also, as you can see, it still refers to me as nemesis zenith.

Your name will update eventually, but the typo in 'weapon' has been there for years and wont be going away 'til V2.
Omega Charge wrote:Yeah, the high score rankings seem to be frozen.
The highscore charts are broken since the server switch and no longer update.
Ill make this clear though, they are not likely to be fixed until V2 considering OS's packed schedule, so you have a choice of signing up for Red's XP rankings or just guessing at where you are, the game will no longer tell you.

I'm guessing that it was a one and done, looks like they haven't updated since.

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
If the game is in its last legs, and nothing is really going to be looked at, why not just make all the alts available all the time? It would be a one time, hopefully quick, fix that would make everyone happy.
