that is a weird "bug" you experienced.....
I remember a bunch of people logging on one day to be level 1 and needing a single point of xp to get their levels back....

Its true, the first time around I had a friend actually tell me to do it because it happened to him and a few others as well. Thankfully he did, otherwise I'd have had to wait days to play my main, again, it seems.

Now I had saw people were having trouble with the zone that the bug hit me in, maybe it has something to do with it... but honestly, other than some kind of faulty coding on logging out, I can't think of why it would happen... I logged him off and onto another char for a while that night, and he stayed as a 15 that night before I got offline, next day, he was level 1 in my char select screen so it had to happen either during my char login process, or while I was offline and the zone was having a reboot issue... I'm no programmer, but I'd gladly give all details I remember to anyone who'd be able to figure out where the problem keeps arising... Its a pretty messed up bug, especially if it would happen to a higher level in a locked in place such as VP, Seb, droga, etc...

Seems potentially serious, and if fixed, it'd prolly save them a lot of time on the petition scales.

sounds like a database update error or a db relation isn't properly linked. If they patched certain values in a zone table or however they have it organized, it could cause a link between two tables to become severed which would be why you would need to get the single point of XP to cause the update which returns all the xp your character has. Don't quote me since this is all speculation as I don't have access to their code. :P

Hah, no sweat.. Until one of those elusive GMs get involved, all we can do is discuss possibility and theory... Now how long would it take for them to do so? That is the question I've been asking almost all week.

I find that the more you ask for help on an issue or if you do it incorrectly or impolitely, then you generally see less attention. Other than that, they will get to the issue when they get to it. That is all I got [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That is understandable, though... but I will keep asking for help considering I won't be playing until it is at least fixed for my char. I don't mind being polite, which I have been, but honestly... I just haven't seen them log on whatsoever lately and I've been watching... It seems like its more or less them focusing on getting the velious coding done and leaving those of us who have been around for a couple years behind to deal with our problems on our own. I was hoping more or less the fact that I have been dedicated to helping fix issues ingame, reporting bugs, helping new players, bringing new players in, that it wouldn't have been a question of them ignoring me because I asked in a few different ways. I am starting to get pretty upset, and I can't help but not blame myself for it. Especially knowing I wasn't the only one having this problem. It should be easy for them to fix it, and easy for them to understand what happened considering its happened to so many people, including myself in the past.

i find it humorous that there was a guy who petitioned about a ds spawn discrepancy and got answered 40 seconds later and this guy cant even get a answer 4 days later.
