Well maybe you should not play computer all weekend. This is a beta. Things like this happen in betas. How do you think the admins should give legal items and xp back? Sorting through the history of over 3k player files? Impossible. dragons idea is even better. Just give everybody what he claims he had. Sure. I had 2 million more xp, 10 heads of hande and a sack of the finest swadian weed. Just accept things like they are, bad luck for everybody not only for you. Live with it. There is no other real solution than a rollback, all mentioned ideas are not rational.

What I suggested is this: Player X reports that he lost 100.000 gold and 12000 xp in 3 lines of text. There are 100 players like that. The dev goes to the db and does 2 updates manually spending probably 30 seconds-1min for each player. It is about 24 hours of work for the player and 1 min for the dev. 100 players means about say 1200 hours.  and it is only about 1 hour for the dev.

About trusting the number the player provided: I don't think anyone will report that he lost 1000.000 xp. If they do report an unbelievable number then simply don't do it.

There is nothing to convince here, you or the devs can look it in anyway they want. But, correcting a mistake you have made that is reported to ruin the fun of the game for some players (according to their reality) would win the respect of the players. For me, I would like the continue playing the game knowing that my time as a player is valued, and there is trust in the community.

I personally know that mistakes like these are perfectly natural to happen. How to deal with such mistakes will change the consequences (how the mod will work out)

Some players could have acted in an aggressive way to this event. This simply shows their feelings, it doesn't have to mean anything about the devs. Dealing with user feelings is very important because people play games because of their feelings, not because of how logical a game is.

The solution I offered both respects the time of the devs and the player. The devs are doing a very good job, and they provide the game to us for free. And the players come here to have fun. I suggested a way that would cost minimum to the devs and preserve the fun for many players. For this reason, this suggestion is good for the mod in my personal opinion.

Bye for now.
