Hello, @Cactusbat,

I'm sorry. I'm only a volunteer mod but I'm truly sorry you've experienced this. This was an unfortunate necessity due to some awful circumstances and people exploiting.

I completely understand why you are upset and the need to vent.

If it helps, I'd like to direct you to Akiri's statement on why this timeslip had to happen.

Let me provide some background on the issue since there seem to be some gross misconceptions on why the rollback occurred here and the related bug.

That thread you linked is originally a different issue. I was tired and trying to implement a fix for just that issue which had not been too bad since we were able to stay mostly on top of it. This is when the real issue occurred.

My "fix" was unsuccessful in one of the areas I applied it to and made things terribly worse. Xhaztol and one of the mods caught the issue shortly afterwards and I went to correct what went wrong. However, after fixing the problem, I encountered millions of counterfeit treasure and gems. It was no longer an isolated bug we were trying to track, it was a full blown exploit. These gems and treasure had already been used to buy out whatever players wanted causing further spread of the issue. I was left very little choice past that point seeing the widespread economic corruption caused by exploitation of the bug. So the issue that needed the rollback occurred DURING the rollback period.

Also, gem purchases were refunded for the period of the rollback, no users lost real money.

Really, the only way rollbacks can be prevented is this:
1: I need to get some sleep so I don't make horrendous mistakes.
2: Players not exploit.

I can't control the second one, so I'll try to do better on the first one.

I am going to move this thread to FRD as this isn't a bug report and I have to edit the profanity out of your OP. Please feel free to express yourself on this issue but please keep the profanity out. Masked profanity is still profanity. Thank you.
