Loss of all work due to Server going down
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2009 12:02 am
Hello!
I am a newbie, not only to Illarion, but to any RPG. My boyfriend is a closet computer buff and we have added RPing to our list of fun things to do together. *grin and laughs at herself*
I have had a lot of fun on Illarion as I can work on skills and not have to worry about being randomly attacked by some random person, which he says happens in many other RPGs.
HOWEVER... Yesterday and today I have become very frustrated. Both days I took a couple hours to dink around, collect items in Varshikar for the very first time, sell things and do some traveling. Yesterday everything that I did in the afternoon was completely wiped out after the server went back up. I tried to do most of it again last night, but I am such a busy person... losing all the fun things I did was so frustrating... and I look forward to this game to alleviate my stress.
Today it happened again. I have been playing for about 2 hours, then got kicked off due to a server being down, and now logging on... every last minute of what I have done has disappeared.
Is this common? I have enjoyed Illarion so much, but must admit that two days in a row is hard for a busy newbie to stomach...
Please let me know, Oh seasoned ones and Great masters of the game... *big grin and a chuckle*. I would like to continue playing this game, but will lose my taste for it if I lose another 6 hours of work, questing, and playing like I have the last 2 days...
Hopeful, Meorah
