just got rolled back 30 mins ago. money i spent on tickets is back, but title is also rolled back. about 5 hours worth. and i wasn't afk. i was talking. i was trading and switching channels and even continents. so... i don't know what is up. ad.1 when it happened.

I don't know if i should complain becuase when i got back the circle im on has produced +750 tickets in 30 mins.

I was actually in the monastery when it happened both times the first time nothing happened to me anyway but to alot of other people it did. So, in my case i decided to buy tickets and hand em out to those who lost theirs not knowing they got their money back, but it was the least i could do. it wasnt much but the second time, i lost all the tickets i had previously bought and i didnt get the money back so i have no clue what happened and what changed from the first time to the second.

I dced after 4 hours. I lost all my tickets I have bought. But I did get back my money, everything I killed off and used in my inventory for space.

no problems here that i've found yet, then again i wasn't afking the ring game tonight either.

Hockster · Feb 24, 2007, 10:51 AM // 10:51

Considering the one and only rollback that has ever been done took almost 12 hours, this is definately not a rolback. The entire game has to be shutdown for that to happen.

AFK is dealt with by an automatic logout after 10 hours, not by removing items or titles. That whole notion is, quite frankly, retarded. Where do you come up with this crap?

Anyway, my character has been on the same ring for nine hours without any problem.

The people I have talked to say that these rollbacks follow an err7. This is not a fullgame reset, and I doubt Anet is 'causing it. This sounds more like a problem with err7.

I got hit with this "roll back" or whatever you want to call it. All of my items, gold, and titles have reverted to what they were about 3 hours or so ago, just before I began playing the rings. Then I was playing rings until I switch from charmed to lucky, used a few ales to the drinking title (which I had only just started, and it went to nothing at all, no track showing, but ales back in my inventory), and then went afk. Come back to see myself in the character selection screen and everything back to what it was 3 hours before, and I was in dist. 26 of shing jea.

Yesterday my guildmates had a wierd connection error during our mission in the wilds, and lagged really badly. They hardly ever have lagging trouble, because unlike me they are on faster than a 56k. I however was doing just fine, in the green.

I have a feeling there might be some problems going on with the servers that haven't been said outright. Whatever this was, character data was rolled back.

EDIT: ..MMkay, so it took me what ..5 minutes to post this. Here I just looked back at my inventory while standing in the corner ring and I have 500+ more tickets than I did before I started writing this. Something is wrong.

Why dont you think a bug can cause one? It used to happen all the time in MMOs. A rollback isnt something that you have to do manually and on purpose you know.

Gli · Feb 24, 2007, 11:53 AM // 11:53

It's probably a case of information not being saved properly, one or more servers messing up, or the infrastructure connecting them.

grats afk'ers!

Pwnd by the system

If I understand this correctly, then ANet can initiate selective rollbacks. This means that if they wanted to, after a few minutes of investigation, they could take care of someone who's been hacked/cheated/scammed with a selective rollback of the scammed and the scammer's account.

If they can take the time to "punish" gambling afk'ers, then they can most certainly take the time to take care of some noob who's been cheated.

So, what's more important to ANet, punishing afk'ers or taking care of, in most cases, newer players who've stumbled upon some cheater?

Neo Nugget · Feb 24, 2007, 03:12 PM // 15:12

i doubt this is done by anet.^^

Rogue42 · Feb 24, 2007, 03:15 PM // 15:15

Same thing happened to me. Lost big chunks of progress towards unlucky/lucky title tracks. Gold was returned to character and storage. Items that I had sold out of my inventory were back. Items that I had transfered from one character to another were back in their original spots.

KiyaKoreena · Feb 24, 2007, 03:21 PM // 15:21

I came back to find myself at the char selection screen. When I got back on my necro I found everything was back to how it had been about an hour before I went to bed (thats when I had drank those last 3 spiked eggnogs and started on the next pile, which are now all back again). Oh well, a little less on my titles then I hoped for this weekend.

El Presidente · Feb 24, 2007, 03:26 PM // 15:26

I actually had my character selection screen show up while in AD3, though I didn't get any error code...nor was I afk all night (half an hour at the most to eat). I went from 311,722 won at 11 pm CST last night to 311, 527 at the time of rollback...and a loss of over 1,000 tickets...though all the sugar items I'd bought and eaten throughout the night were credited (no, they were not returned either).

Scarred · Feb 24, 2007, 03:28 PM // 15:28

I think ANET refers to that type of rollback as "rubber band lag"

manitoba1073 · Feb 24, 2007, 03:46 PM // 15:46

i lost 5000 points and 5 hours in this. Oh well just another day in GW
