I'm curious why someone decided it was a good idea to not use donations to replace the HDD drive lost a week before and go ahead with the update.
Just incase it does wipe i've grabbed screenshots of my character so I can recreate him :P
As a trader with stock, accumulated resource and a customer base, a wipe is a painful thought. But if it must be it must be.
The wipe isn't what upsets me. It's unfortunate but that's okay, its a test server. But there's no good reason not to have proper backup practices in place these days. 3-2-1 rule is the way to go. 3 copies, 2 physical devices, 1 remote. Lots of free software to do it too.

I was under the impression the Basilisk server was a hosted machine at some datacenter in Dallas. A blown hard drive I would think would have been taken care of by the host and not necessarily something the buyer had to cough up extra for. But, hard drives are cheap.
What I'm confused on is you did lose the raid, throwing in a new hard drive and restoring it from a prior backed up image should be much easier than waiting and praying for a recovery operation to happen. At worst you'd lose... a day? Unless someone was slacking on the normally accepted backup practices.
At any rate, a wipe now vs one later, doesn't really change the grand scheme of it all going away anyways.
But yeah... check your drives at home kids. It's not fun.
Also, wtf, when was the last time I posted here? Been a while.
