    Default Server Rollback Discussion

    We all know about the server rollbacks and the trouble they've caused. I'm pretty sure just about everyone here has lost something from the resets. So... discuss.

    I lost the 1.6m resources that my army was carrying back from a plundered city this morning. Thankfully I didn't lose the troops though.

    My troops were bringing back:

    313060 Food
    123532 Lumber
    126099 Stone
    109520 Iron
    291967 Gold

    They returned, my plunder did not. In addition, it took all of my troops twice as long to return as it took them to get to their attack locations.

    I lost gold from level 7 informatics 128k gold.
    I lost the plunder of a cleared out level 2 barb village (200k food, 30k lumber, 30k stone, 30k iron, 65k gold)
    I was just thinking when the first downtime occured that I should take screen shots every 15 minutes. Cause there is no way I will remember every building in every town.

    I lost 200 swordsmen & archers - I also lost 1 hero at the same time.

    They had returned just before the server rolled back

    I lost a entire Level 10 building when the server rolled back...

    so what do you want to discuss about?

    I say there is nothing to discuss. The admins of Civony should send all players compensation packages that equate to the losses

    My michalangelo script was lost along with over 4 million resources and tons of gold. If the admins cannot reimburse the stuff i lost, then return the money i used to buy items.

    I lost 1000 archers. They were on their way back from attacking a level 3 forest with some lumber.

    - I was in the middle of an attack on a Barbarian village when the server kicked me off and wasn't accessible for ages. Before the outage I scouted the place and it was a lvl1 town with 200 warriors and 20 odd pikeman - it was a walled town with traps, so I send almost 3k soldiers (mostly sword and archers) into battle with 104 Ballistas as backup == after the outage I read the report: My Army was slaughtered attacking a lvl 7 town with 3k+ warriors, 2K swordsman, 1,5k Archers, 500 Horses, and a lvl25 hero -=- that is not right by any means! That's 3k+ soldiers that will take forever to replace

    - Before the outage I had started a lvl7 wall and it was about 25% done - this morning when I finally was able to log in again the wall was a lvl6, no work had been done, but the materials for it were gone anyway = that's a heck of a lot of resources

    - I had two lvl7 valleys in my possession, but unguarded. They are now lvl9 and no longer belong to me (no attack report, so it wasn't lost in a fight)

    - My second town had a guarding army of about 1k soldiers left behind - after the outage the town was unprotected - that's 1040 swordsmen gone, again, it takes forever to replace

    - I had two hero's guarding two valleys with 500 soldiers each - now only one soldier each remains - that's 998 missing swordsman (again, no attack was reported so they were lost in the matrix)

    - there are more things that have changed on the map as well, like having high level Barbarian cities where there was previously a lake, a bit of grass, two deserts and a forrest - I heard of players teleporting around, but NPC's??

    - I lost two research projects as well, one Informatics lvl6 and one farming lvl5 - the resources needed for that are gone as well

    - I lost 600 Scouts, 1700 workers, Gold, Iron, Stone, and 450 Swords that moved to reinforcement an ally (again, no attack report for those losses)

    I had several of my alliance lose this or that during the outage last night, as well I did. If the game cannot find someway to keep this happening in the future, the future of the game will indeed be dim. Some of my allaince have said if it happens again that they will quit, because the time, money, and effort spent in doing what has to be done to build a successful empire can be blown in a single outage, and they will not continue to play only to lose what they have worked hard to achieve.

    In the future something has to be done by the game creators to insure this does not happen again. If nothing else, during such a server take down, the play should be curtailed, or backed up an restored after the outage has been fixed. There are enough abandon sites in the game without making more by discouraging players with happenings like those last night. When it is impossible to take an abandon city due to the mercy rule, some other approach needs to be implemented, i.e. abandon cities wiped after a certain period, such as 30 or 60 days.

    I do realize that the game is in its infancy, but at the same time with the site collecting monies for items that then disappear in such an outage, many will hesitate to invest anymore money when the chances that it could be lost as easily as it was last night are possible. What the game creators and manager decide to do to rectify this situtaion, and those that may happen in the future under such circumstances, may very well decide what the ulimate future of the game will be. and if it will be.

    Good point, I've spent over $170 dollars (USD) on Civony and I'm not sure I'm going to be spending anymore.
