So I found out just now that players who engaged in supporting alpha and beta did not get to keep their forum profile... So I lost all my friends.. All my posts... All my old clan mates... Gone. My forum account? Did that REALLY need to be reset? I registered literally four years ago, this month. That and now I can only post once per day. LOL. WTF. Can I please have my data back now? I just finished uninstalling the pre-steam launcher/game package and installed the steam game. Luckily my XP, mechs and items that I paid for/earned are still there. Yet, my in game friends are all gone which honestly is the most depressing and substantial loss. That's what I get for thinking I would be interested in this game again I guess... All that and I don't even get exclusive items that attempt to leverage lost information to my account.

 

I work in games, not only that, as devops a main responsibility of mine is to manage our server database so I understand that things go bad. But seriously, I would restore a month old back up before I decide to wipe the whole server. That, or if you need to upgrade the database put in the time to transfer data between databases so that people who poured hundreds of hours in to your alpha dont come back to basically nothing. Input? Flaming? Support? Please let me have it. I will be back in 24 hours to let you know how I feel because apparently I am not trusted enough after my countless bug reports to warrant an unlocked forum member status.

 

Sweet.

Sadness continues.

The old forums went down before Reloaded buying the game became publicly known; they tried to transfer everything seamlessly but weren't able to for whatever reason. Ashfire has a mirror up on his site if that's any help, but the search is broken. The main reason new posters have so many restrictions IIRC is because there was a user who kept spamming gore from different accounts a few months ago and Reloaded attempted to come up with some sort of solution. There have been multiple resets of the in-game friend list presumably due to ADH's database fuzzy bunnyery, but if it's any consolation, most of the people who were on yours that long ago probably don't play now.

The old forum was shut down and the data was lost and purged from backups.  This is what happens when a company stops paying the hosting bills.  

 

When Reloaded took over they had to start fresh on the forums as there was nothing to continue from except a web crawled snapshot from a player.

 

I realize you didn't keep up with the transfer of ownership, but had you known that little tiny tid bit of info, it would of negated your entire post.

 

The only other thing Jeff mentioned that needs a bit of fixing is the reason for the restrictions is to combat spambots that signup and then spam the forums with stuff about vashikaran mantra, trust us its annoying.  Sorry you have to deal with the limitations, but just post silly things to get past it.

I knew there were restrictions prior to the gore spam, but weren't they tightened significantly afterwards? I could be remembering incorrectly though since I've only used one account to make posts here and never had to deal with any limitations personally.

IIRC you are correct and they were tightened, however restrictions did exist before.

 

 

Also welcome back.

My rather sarcastic condolences to you. Welcome back.

However are the posting restrictions seriously one post per day? That seems unnecessarily restrictive. One per hour should be sufficient for a community member to make a report or for a moderator to do their job. Do Tiggs and co seriously only check the forums once a day?

For the first 5 posts, you can only post once a day and those 5 posts must be approved by a moderator, ex: Tiggs

I don't see any problem with new posting restrictions,  It can teach patience... ok, maybe not but I really don't see the problem with waiting a bit. Not like the world's gonna come to an end.

 

One should be out mowing their lawn or cleaning out the garage instead. That reminds me, I'd better get moving.
