That is very unfortunate. We lost 2 new members but were able to recover one because he knew of our guild web site and contacted us through there. If you have their names written down, you should post them here - surely SOMEONE has them on their friends list and you can bring them home.

Probably would not be a bad idea to start a Lost Members thread. I would be glad to search my friends list for you.

Good luck CC. I hope you fine your peeps.

Do you mates know what I really, really fear!?!?

The mother of all resets and data lost,,, yes, you can guess,,, losing a pirate, or several pirates, better yet, a fully mastered one.

That would be the cherry on top!

They are deleting entire accounts, started alphabetically...

All the Aarons say buh bye!

Now that is something i would be very upset about.

I'm logging in to see what the damage is. Quite frankly I'm scared. o.0

Ha! When the recent servers were removed I told them it was a bad move! Well I guess I have to watch my visions more.

Oh well, I'm tired of the resets, taking a break from POTCO and playing POTBS until all of this blows over, I'll still be on, just no looting... :P

I agree eric no more looting ive lost my progress to many times!

Nothing to be TOO upset about, just remember that this is out of their control really. They update the site to draw us to the game, it's not their fault that stuff crapped out.

They are doing whatever they can to fix it and I'm sure they'll have something down the line about reducing the chances of finding rare items for a day or something.

And they DID provide an extension for unlimited access members.

Nothing happened over the maintenance last night. Thank god!

Yes! I lost nothing! woot!

I know some here are saying things like "its not their fault" or "they are doing the best they can" but you can only use the dog ate my homework excuse so many times…

With the amount of misinformation swirling about and POTCO doing very little to abate it, I honestly don't feel a tacked on one week extension to UA is a satisfactory compensation when players have lost any sense of assurance that this will not happen again. For some, deciding not to play until they feel the game has stabilized has the potential for players to miss out on this one week extension.

A fairer response to extending UA would be to send a code to UA players affected by the maintenance problems so they can determine for themselves when/if it is safe to make a return to playing the game.



(Edit: I see as I posted this POTCO has posted their official resolution to the maintenance problems)

Too be fair for this to happened on test as it happened many times when loot drops were first introduced is one thing. But for it to make it to open is a huge failure for the POTCO staff.
