some of u talk allot but don't have a real army if ur -100 mill an hour 6 hours of food is hard to keep and if u have a job and a life like some of u don't then it is harder to upkeep evony should roll back the servers and some cents
:flame: :attack:
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight
I think a rollback would be alittle late now.. what they should do is they should give everyone 1k cents 1 week of free food an apoligy letter and a key to a happyness package. for the ppl that lost stuff they should send a mail out and ask everyone that lost something to summit a ticket and let that acct be rolled back or reset to before the outtage.. wouldnt be hard for evony to roll back single accts, it would easyer to do that then roll back a whole server. its like insted of resetting a computer to factory settings it doing a system restore to an erler date.
Rolling back single accounts would be a good idea to those that lost hero's troops and city's 1k cents will not get u your hero troops or city back and those things take time to build
I think it would likely be pretty difficult to do individual account rollbacks. More or less so depending on their database schema. When you roll back one account that lost a city that's going to force a rollback on the account that took the city, if they sent or received resources from another account, that account is now involved and would need rolled back. This kind of rollback could easily cause an inconsistent state and create a lot of problems. That being said, they really do need to figure something out to make this right.
im hating evony right now i can sign in on any server but the one i play on i get network connection box each time ive tried yet every server i can log on but one i play one sadly i reseted all the 5 other servers i used to play on :( and ive updated flash even reset my laptop to factory n reinstalled flash even reset router and still cant get back into my orig server . i had 2 diff people sign in my accnt since and all is good im havin one them stick accnt into holiday .. would be nice to know wtf happend as i did nothing to pc when i was on and got booted ... so what causes this evony ????
ive gotten no email bout being banned and accnt is functional as had someone else check it , and i can get into any other server ???? but original one n i dont bot ...nor huge army nor huge food reserves thus im glad least someone could holiday me :(
Evony has proven that they care very little for their players. By giving the same compensation to people who were never kicked from the system and who took cities, they are punishing those who were kicked and not satisfying any of us at all. We lost heroes, worth more than 100 cents, we lost cities and resources and time. We lost money that we paid into those heroes and cities and evony doesn't even care. It's heart breaking to know that we put so much work into our accounts so that a few could take advantage of a server issue and take from us, then to have those same people get theexact same compensation package...its unbelievable. Although I do not know if I will be quitting, I do know that my paltry $60/month will be going elsewhere. Evony will do a server rollback for server exploits, but will not when their incompetence allows an exploit...nice to know that they don't follow their own terms of service.
I would hate for Evony to do a server roll back. Sure my hubby will get his 3 heroes back and 250k archers but I would lose all the food I just farmed and the 100k archers that I used that food to make. Not to mention the 5 lvls my hero gained killing off troops. Oh and did I mention I've been waiting for god knows how long to get the important research to all 10s done using only 4 cities?
So yeah go ahead and do a rollback, cause I would love to do all this work all over again for the 2nd time. NOT!
I see alot of ppl have asked for compensation, and i agree we should be compensated so of us spend money on this game and when things like this happen and sometimes they cant be help. But we should be given a compensation package like the last time it was messed up. Come on Evony make and Official Appology and compenstae every1, Roll back is not a good idea tho some ppl loose valuable HH or HC in 24hr role back. TY
Oh boo hoo, my heart is breaking for your 100k archers. Yeah, you might have to do a little bit of work over again if they do a rollback. But the amount of work you just described absolutely pales in comparison to the effort of rebuilding an attack hero on an older server. People lost things that took MONTHS to build, not 24 hours.
Oh and for the record, I didn't lose anything and I always stock at least 150-200 hours of food in each city.
excuse me a LITTLE downtime??? 7,8 hours isnt a little.
Your reasoning is drenched with selfishness
People lost heroes, troops and cities cause people who didnt get kicked offline could keep hitting away since the owner couldnt get online.
That should have been compensated with a rollback at the very least
Geesh i dont understand why people manage to only look at what would be better for themselves rather then for most of the people.
And no... i didnt lose anything because of the outage so im not being selfish saying this
Oh boo hoo, my heart is breaking for your MONTHS of building.
I still say no roll back. Then again, do a roll back cause I want to LMAO at the threads that will be open with people complaining about that too.
No package, people cry. No roll back, people cry. Don't do anything at all, people rage.
You just can't make internet people happy these days :)

In the above post a rollback was done on NA29, however food supplies continued to deplete, will this be fixed?
you are also unable to read. i did not say you lost it because of the outage. you said you lost them farming.
if they would do a rollback now, it would be to a point before you lost those archers.
But its to late now for a rollback, they should have done that right after they fixed the problems and before they let people log back in again.
Rollback shoulda been done right after the problem was fixed to be fair to those who lost things people who were still on (like me) don't lose much by rolling back 24 or even just 12 hours because 12-24 hours later I'd be exactly where I am now no big deal. The ones most affected don't have that luxury. Though in the interest of fairness evo needs to learn to lock everyone out of the game when stuff like this happens.
hmm i think they used to do rollbacks after problems like this, but the focus shifts to making money/not losing money more and more it seems...
They musta figured out people would keep playing anyway wether they pretend to care about us or not
Last time i checked, MONTHS > 24 hrs.
Not sure i've found one of your posts that isn't obnoxious.
Back on topic, not sure there will be a satisfactory compensation package in the eyes of those who legitimately lost heros/cities due to evony's blunder. Sadly, each passing hour reduces the chance of a rollback (the truely just remedy) of happening.
yeh the easiest solution in cases like this is to make sure everyone gets locked out right away AND food consumption gets frozen, same goes for grievance on heroes etc cause you wouldnt be able to logon to comfort if needed
why evony doesnt do that ill never understand
As Dawnseeker stated (to which people got grumpy with him) is that there will be a compensation package, more details will be coming later.
As for a rollback, while it sounds great on paper it's a risky process to undertake for one server let alone all servers, and would have caused even more server downtime it potentially could have doubled the amount of time that the gameservers were down. Some people may have been impacted, but not enough to make such a process worth doing.
It's not a "just" remedy, it's the remedy you want. Some others would counter with it being unfair because they already played since the servers came back up and losing that time would be "unjust". Who would be right? That's a rhetorical question though, as the decision has already been made on the subject of rollbacks.
[QUOTE= more details will be coming later.=QUOTE]
details meaning what we are getting? also is there anyway once this is all over and delt with to get evony to release maybe what was going on in the first place to make this all happen? i mean if u just TOLD US maybe we would stop being so upset...
i'd have to agree with Steuben because really i was following wat was happening on skype cause some alliance members are on their tht follow facebook and twitter most of the time when u guys claimed the problem was "solved" it was not. also the fact that if u would have taken the time to explain wat happened people wouldnt be as mad about instead of treating us like we are all children and saying "there is a problem,we have fixed it."
All servers may be up and running but for some reason i cant log on !!! there for you must have my IP ADDRESS BLOCKED !!! i have done everythang and i still cant get on ss57 but i can get on 150 with no problem !!!!
Like i said, months of work is worth much more than 24 hrs of gameplay. To make things clear, I personally didn't lose anything so I'm not asking for anything for myself. However, I would have no problem with a rollback to make things equitable.
The bottom line is that these problems have occurred in the past (server not allowing people on but some are permitted to remain online and kill at will) and Evony has not come up with a fair procedure to prevent these kinds of situations. It would be understandable if it was for only 15-30 mins, but upwards of 7+ hours while allowing some people remain online? Then to have Dawnseeker blatantly lie to everyone was icing on the cake.
