[Enjin Archive] Rollback.
Started by [E] Xx Komfy598

This is the 4th time Iv been rolled back.

Iv earned alot of credits, Spent them to rebuild

just to have them taken away.

Not only has my credits been ripped away from me

4 times, iv had to rebuild 4 rimes, so im not only

losing money/credits, im losing time and effort i

put into my builds.

Im really not happy.

Iv probably spent atleast 8000 credits on Rail Roads alone.

iv probably lost atleast 64 diamonds.

and I know iv lost more than that.

Im not trying to, pardon my language.

bitch and moan about this but you have

to understand It gets really frustrated when

It happens every day, and when its persistant.

I feel as if a Moderator has something against me.

I dont know who But noticed that ever since i donated.

it has been happening every day since.

Sawine has kindly refunded me the first time, and im greatful

and i don't always expect to get refunded, but this has got to

stop. Im sure im not the only one having this problem.

like iv said before, Its not the fact I put credits/money into my builds.

Its the fact iv taken time out of my life to put the effort into

this game, onto this server.

i personally would like to know why this is happening.

especially why 4 times in a row.

There is a refund thread here: http://minetown.net/forum/m/672632/viewthread/2056809-roll-back-jan-19-refunds-post/page/3#last

Why it's happening ? The exact root cause is because some people are bad at programming and they make mistakes...that turn into disasters.

If you think anyone in the staff is happy about those rollbacks... not at all. We are fully aware people lose the time they invested and it gives a bad image of our server. It annoys us extremely. But sadly there is not much we can do against those issues. When rollbacks occurs, it's because the map is so screwed up that we need to come back to a previous backup to fix the damage. This time the damage was caused by NoLagg and GlowHat. Some parts of the map burned and other chunks got corrupted or deleted... and it happened 2 hours before the last backup... so we had to use the one before it.

There is currently no recommended build of bukkit. Bukkit which is the server "software" we are running onto which allow us to use the plugins we use and to customize the server the way it is customized. Everytime Minecraft updates, Bukkit has to update... and all the times it happens... it's headaches over headaches.... Most of the plugins we run also need to be updated to match the bukkit changes... which result in even more possibilities of problems. We are currently running the latest development build of bukkit (the only way to run on 1.1) and those dev builds have flaws..and so does the plugins after a recent update...

I'm sorry. I'm not happy at all when those events occur... We have to listen to 48hours of moaning, raging and insults... We do our best to avoid them... but what can I say... if Minecraft wasn't so badly written at first... so many things would be avoided... but since it's not.. we have to deal with it.

Usually we don't get 3 rollbacks in a row... this is the first time it is that worse...

NoLagg and Glowstone will be removed from the server until bukkit release a stable version for them to update to.

The amount of backups also been increased to prevent future issues.

We are also doing refunds, what we don't usually do because it involves a lot of work for the staff.

...This is the most we can do...

I apologize again for everyone reading this... some stuff is just out of our control and we do our best to avoid those kind of things. We understand and also feel the frustration.

See you.
Thank you for the report sawine, Much appreciated. furthermore I and many others appreciate the time You and the other staff put in to help us and the amount of tolerance you guys have is amazing. I don't try to put any of the staff down, many other's like me just get p.o'd and im sure we don't think when we become frustrated. I think I speak for all of us when I say we should apologize for being spazz cases and thank you for putting up with it. We love the server and the staff, Just not the roll backs and accidents. Once again, thank you very much for taking the time to read and reply to this.
Thank you for all of that, it does make me feel better understanding the issues. I also have lost alot time and items but its the time I fret over. I am new here and this is probably the 3rd rollback so far and this one was the worst.
after visiting a few other servers...ill just let yall know, we are much better off than anyone else who moved to 1.1...

other servers have had between 4 days and all the way back to the release date rollbacks that they refuse to do anything about...or just leave the glitches and errors continue to corrupt their game...
Zio to the rescue :3

Sorry Komfy... its happened to me as well... I gotta get a refund FOR my refund! LOL
Ask about safe place to put items. Sawine said the new vault are protected from role backs.

I put in /vault buy 5xxlargevault

the /vault confirm

It charged 10,000 credits

It gave me the 4,000 vault 3largevault

have PE but know one seems intrested

Update: OK evidently I had a 3largevault I didn't know about. So when I created my new vault it created my new vault as /vault 2. So now I have a 3largevault i didn't know about( Donator perk I guess) and the new one at /vault 2 that is the correct size

Big thanks to Sawine for figuring it out for me.
you just put the pe in...i watched it come up...be patient please...there were 70 pes last i checked.
