Firstly the server is hosted from a dedicated server by gaming deluxe, and i know there have been a lot of issues when this server first went up, the reason being that i was not in full control of the host and there were a few issues that needed addressing, plus a corrupt gm that put mir kits in shell nippers.
The problem we had yesterday, was that when maxii added the clan system (which he did a great job of, and was done by him alone), he also copyed and pasted rows of the db that caused an error through duplication of rows, the db could not be loaded because of the errors, and the items you had assigned to your chars in the db were deleted, because as far as the server was concerned the items did not exsist, maxii had not made a backup before making changes, and sadly, a 3 day rewind of the items assigned to your chars was the absolute best outcome that was possible.
Maxii now knows about the issue and will make a backup before making any changes in the future.
On a final note, recently there has not been much in the way of issues with the server, and i intend to add further things over the weekend, as has been the case over the last couple of weeks.
PS GameGold is doubled from now till the end of sunday
