There was a big Seibertron crash when the building hosting Seibs data was flooded, and the whole game (and other parts of the whole site) needed to be rebooted/reinstalled.

The game itself went back to square 1 in some territories, such as teams, alt. modes, and the missions, which are now only available in 0-3 and 2-4 versions...

Welcome back and welcome to the club.

Same thing happened to me when I got back.

If V2 gets going, it's going to be another reset.

Imagine my surprise as I do my weekly forum lurk to see you posting. xD

Yeah, I've been away too, so I'm way too far out of the loop to really provide much info. Are we still playing on borrowed time and waiting for the V2 reset that looms obscurely in the possibly not-so-maybe-distant future?

Hey long time no see! Man this stinks, so why bother playing right now if its all just gonna get wiped? They could always have another server host V2 and keep this one on the backburner...

Rumor control: a weekend in September 2008, around September 20th, my server crashed due to hardware issues (at ThePlanet.com which is located in Houston, TX. It was also the same weekend that a major hurricane was supposed to hit that area but the hardware issue was 100% unrelated to that incident. The next day, the leftover rains from that storm hit the Chicago area where it had been raining for at least 4 days straight already. It was the most amount of rain Chicago had received since records had been kept. My basement, and a lot of the Chicago area, flooded. Dealing with both of those issues at the same time complicated issues with getting the site back online in a reasonable manner. It took about 3 months or so to get everything back up and running but we did, we're here, database backups are now in place. And life, in general, is good. :)

Considering your join date says "Sep 2009", how could you possibly have 7's and 8's?

Dual account perhaps? ;;)

Former Decepticon, massive drama queen, shared her password around so she could get people to play 24/7 for her, claimed we ran her out of the Decepticons, created a second account as an Autobot because of it etc more drama etc.
