Was anyone doing anything special with an invisibility shroud when it crashed?

This one, after a long while, was my fault for the bug...
Why do you guys always crash the shard when I'm away? 8) Should be up again in a minute or two...

Very quick important note... there's been a change in the server-portal interaction and i need to get lunch now so until i get back, the portal settings and exex will not be in sync. You can still chat in the portal.

Server Down?

Umm i was at the Swamps with Irk, and Lissith and all that with my pets. I had over 130k on my Cu. Right after the world save the server went down. Will I lose everything? If I do can there be a revert so I dont lose my Cu and Noble and the money i have obtained?

:shock:

Why would anyone ask for an intentional revert???

That would be like me saying "Well, since the server crashed anyway how bout reverting back to yesterday when I had a major blonde moment and bought the leggings to give me 100% lrc and forgot to insure them so I can do that!!! That way when I came into a dead char today after afk macroing all night all that would just be a bad dream!!!" Then again so would all the skill gains I made :wink:

Unfortunately, in UO, servers crash and you lose things it's all a part of it. It's the staff's job to find out what caused the crash and get the server stable again and sometimes that can be a very difficult thing to do!! They're busy enough without worrying about replacing things players can easily recoop on their own with a little patience and the want to play the game!!

For the future, please post directly in this thread if it crashes.

Anyway, yea as i said we were lucky it was directly after a save (the towncriers announce right after the save). As for reverts, well we try to have as few of them as possible :) That's why the save files are backed up to 3 different locations, on a hourly, daily, and weekly basis. Worst case scenario that is still theoretically possible, we loose up to 24 hours. But so far we only had one major revert, i think it was around 18-24 hours. Let's nope we don't have to deal with those *knocks on wood*.

Please Don't Flame someone for asking a simple question. Not everyone is a vet that has played UO for years. They may not know how UO saves and are nervous about what they might lose. For someone that is new to lose a lot is a very hard thing and added hardship to come here and be brought down more doesn't help. just a simple " I doubt they would revert " would do just as good. If we make new people feel bad they wont stay here and play.
