Here's what's up

[cbk1994]

Over the past week, several players have been abusing a glitch in order to spawn money. They have since ruined the economy even further. The players have all been caught and banned.

In addition to the banning of these players, it was planned to roll back1 the server to last Sunday.

After speaking with a playerworld administrator, who confirmed that daily backups were kept for Era, we began to give out certain items in events or at unstick me as compensation for the roll back. Note that all of these items would have been destroyed once the roll back took place.

However, we found out after contacted by Stefan that daily backups are no longer kept. In fact, there are not even weekly or monthly backups available. The last backup available is from April, and it would have been very difficult for Stefan to obtain and restore. We also could not justify rolling the server back over a month.

For the past several years daily server backups have been available for all servers at request from Stefan. The decision made by Stefan to not make daily, weekly, or even monthly backups was made without our knowledge.

So the situation as it stands is that many players have spawned guns or items, and there is no way for us to remove them from these players.

For this reason, the only feasible thing for us to do right now is to reset. We are working at a feverish pace on the dev server and hope to finish it in the coming weeks so that we can reset.

We apologize sincerely for this inconvenience and hope that we can get this resolved as soon as possible.
