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.
    But how exactly do you value the months or even years of work that may have been lost by some players in this outage? Be pretty hard to come up with a fair compensation package for that.

    I agree with this. If the servers had gone "down" for everyone it would be a different matter, but Evony allowed people to remain in the game and able to capture other people's cities. Then, Dawnseeker lied about it.
    Wow ... it's been a really long time.

    Yes what are these details? When will they be released? That is the million dollar question.
    Dude... What now?

    Estrickland didn't lose anything. I said if they do a role back THEN i would lose them. Big difference there.

    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."

    exaclty as ive stated before most evony players have a greater understanding in the computer feilds and would be able to "apreashate" there problem more if they just released what it was in the first place

    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.
