Vendors disappearing and possible Basilisk Rollback

[codyscafe7]

Question.. after a long hiatus from the game, I decided to come back friday and start a fresh combat character, in the middle of all the rollback. I'm curious as to if my new character (or indeed, any of them) will still be there when the server comes back up.

For the last rollback I found myself a couple of skill trees back.

My advice? Assume the worst and you won't be let down. But honestly it seems there's a larger underlying issue here.

well from whats been said TA is trying to bring the vendors back . sounds like theyre done rolling back ..
TA will either get the vendor mess fixed or he wont ..

less sarcasm this time .. sorry

All good, I understand everyone's frustration. IMO I don't see the team letting the vendor mess fester-- it'll get fixed one way or another whether it be with a rollback or using The Force.

No biggie, at least I will be forced to wrap some xmas gifts and maybe even find time to see SW the force awakens.

WHAT? BERKELEY is flawless! SWGEMU never has issues with Berkeley... and doesn't rollback due to DB issues.


p.s. let us know if you need help recovering data... we have learned the HARD way how to recover from Berkeley DB issues (eventhough we have been told Berkeley isn't an issue and it's pure awesome-sauce.

p.s.s. dannuic, I miss you...

We have never had issues with berkeley, and actually it saved our asses lots of times because of the ability to rollback to any point in time.

This is bug is in our own code.. but you keep blaming your mistakes on BDB, (a database that has been in production for more than 20 years in thousands of projects).

oh, believe me, I agree with you. I'm more concerned about the health of the server than anybody's characters

If you created it a minute or two before server went down, it might not be.

Eh, no big, I only had like brawler up to 2/1/1/2 and scout up to 0010 so an hour or two lost at most.

Its funny now in Cnet starport if you click on the 3P0 travel droid he tells you that the shuttle has been destroyed by terrorists.

its all about perspective .. i think the guys who just made new toons care more about them than if youre getting vendors full of acklay bones back or not ..

Corellia seems a little barren of shuttleports right now. Only the newest 3 are still named and available it seems. Ours is still sat there in the city, but not named on map (just as Generic "shuttleport") and not usable. Seems a little reminiscent of the merge when all older cities got destroyed.

well please do not forget the most important part.

The guys who develop this game for us, they are doing that for the love of community and for the love of Star Wars Galaxies. The Best MMORPG ever.
They don't take monthly subscription fees, fat salaries, ANY kind of profit.

They are doing that for us and for fun.

And none of us has the right to demoralize them over some bugs or errors or simple losses.

I lost more than 2000 item, tons of enhanced weapons worth hundreds of millions and months of hard working other goods and...

...I dont care a bit even!!

If they can fix it then they can. If not, we will start over.

This is SWG guys. Please show some respect to the game and the peoples who try to relive it for us.
