ABOUT THE PROBLEMS

Postby Omega Sentinel » Tue Jun 12, 2007 12:57 am

We restored the character data from April. That was the latest backup available.

After restoring the table I gave everyone a large XP boost and a 200,000 energon bonus for your troubles. (I'm trying to make this up to all of you as best I can).

I also added 50 Kremzeeks to the armory.

If you are new to the game since April just pm me and I will try to hook you up with some goodies ASAP.

In the grand scheme of things this could have been alot worse, but with the massive changes that are happening to the game you can see why the reset has to come.

We really appreciate your hard working fixing it.

It's just really discouraging when your xp for every member of your team is cut in half :-(

Wow. I half wish we could just do the reset now. My top bot alone lost 600k in this deal. I went from 13 million total XP for my team to about 9 million. Maybe you could give us a bit more of an XP boost?

Oh, and thank you for working so fast to fix the problems.

Ahhhhhh. Well, we'll be alright. :mrgreen: I'm glad that you dealt with this problem so promptly, OS, even if you couldn't restore everything back to the way it was a few hours ago. ^^ And kudos to Ryan too, for helping get things back into working order.

And as far as the XP boosts are concerned, I think it depends on what level you're on. My team is all Lv. 2, and got restored to about the same total XP they were at before this happened--if not more. If you're higher, like around Lv. 4 or 5 (or higher) the XP loss is greater than the XP given now.

Sent. And thanks to Seibs for finding a backup file.

Edit: Just noticed the two Kremzeeks I had equipped are gone... The one in my armory is still there. I just bought three extra Kremzeeks to replace the two missing ones and the one I sold to hook someone else up.

Is that offer good to others as well :???:

I keep track of all my characters and just backed up my file this morning,
and I know that -Soundwave- keeps track of alot of peoples XP gains.... If we all PM you could we get a 'hook-up' as well ;;) ;;) ;;)
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

I thought about asking for an XP boost as well since I lost about 1.7 million XP per bot but decided not to since they're going to reset everything back to 0 XP anyways T_T

Man this sucks... I went from 18,827,some odd million down to 16,246, some odd million.That's a huge drop for me, especially since I don't get to play as much as I used to anymore. :sad: my top guy went from over 3 mil to just over 2.5 :sad:

I do have a list, anyone that is in the mini games have a spot on my chart while I only have the total team xp for some though a quick division of 12 teammembers can give a good estimate of how much to distribute.... If Omega is willing to, I'll pm him the entire sheet.

You're uncomfortable that your top Bots lost what ? 2 ? Maybe 3 million xp. My top guy went down from 34,800,000 to some 18 mil...You've got to be kidding me.

And here I thought I was hit hard, I lost 15 mil over my entire team not just one TF. That has to hurt.

Please Help

Postby Kitten Carnage » Tue Jun 12, 2007 3:06 am

My entire team of 12 have vanished along with all energon and xp.
Am aware that energon and xp would reset, though was under the impression that my team itself would stay intact. Is this just a temporary glitch or are they lost to the ethernet?
And without any energon i am unable to create anymore transformers to replace them.

What should i do?
