It's true.
GMs are aware of the problems and working on them btw - hurrah for MSN.

I am really sorry about not giving a warning when we shut down server guys. Normally we always try to let you know.
Flimgoblin said:the problem was that several members of HG gained a good amount of RP (leeching off of Favail) and the server had a heart attack.
It's caused by one of the server systems crashing and so there's no way to ensure it never happens. There's a service which controls all grouping, chat and shared data like GBP. If this crashes then this problem will happen.Ttillub said:Did they fix it?
When this kind of things happened before server crashed and was seemingly ok after start.
I admit we did get 2 messages in game and it was a lot more than what it used to be. Points for that. Odd that they did not have time to put a message up before shutdown.
Anyways they could perhaps make a post/news about what happened and how they make sure it won't happen again. Not necessarily in great detail but giving some info would stop unnecessary speculations.
One question, if all this data is stored on a central DB, why did we loose over a weeks guild RPs and BPs, in fact Id say closer to 10 days?Requiel said:It's caused by one of the server systems crashing and so there's no way to ensure it never happens.

The last time this happened it kept crashing over and over again and so Mythic provided us with a fix to make it more robust and less likely to crash. Unfortunately there's no way to guarantee that it never will. As it stands, it looks like an isolated problem, however we are keeping an eye on it.

Pls dont say the DB only backs up once every week or so? And how does it only seem to affect guild points, and not personal RPs, BPs or items?
