I want to show that I am grateful for a full return soon. and your work is not un appreciated. most of us have a lot of passion to play. I feel like returning to fallen earth and you are all the reason I can still create my friends and roam the vast wasteland. I wanted to take a moment to say, even though I'm not affiliated with LO directly, that I am greatful as a player, that everyone in this community for the most part is supportive of making this game run smoother, and feel better, and is optimistic for all the improvements. The hardest thing for a developer or engineer is a deadline set by rude and unruly "customers", and all of you have been so positive thinking and forward thinking with this. I commend you all, and let's all hope to see the best! 3
Invisoseen Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 As Homer Simpson once said, "Now we play the waiting game....The waiting game sucks! Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!"

Its just nice to know what's going on I appreciate you coming over from APB to say that, as I'm sure you've seen my posts as to what others over on your side have been saying, rather good or bad. We're all so passionate about progress here, and to see an "outsider" (so to speak) come over to reassure us that we're not all just crazy is a nice sight. 2

What deadlines have any customer 'set'? All I see is missed deadlines set by the developer and engineer themselves.
DantesHell Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) If they rollback again i will flip out. All what i done, all what i collect and gain will disappear. I can wait as much as i need, but Matt, i beg you, PLEASE don't rollback anymore. Just don't do this. You don't even need to give us commandeer status for 2 weeks, just don't rollback anymore.

trevorscrazy5 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 have some passion guys we can wait! let the working team for couple hours too dont push too hard
MattScott Posted May 10, 2019 Author Posted May 10, 2019 Hi all, We're nearly done with the partial restore to get back to a position to repair things. The backup was done right after we took the servers offline, so there should be no rollback. Restore should be done around 1am, and then I'll have a better estimate for the repair time. Unfortunately we wont be back online at 1am like I had hoped. Sorry, Matt 1 5
Psibernaut Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Whew! Thank you for the update at this hour. I haven't logged in for a few weeks and was scared something bad had happened since it's late on a Thursday night/early Friday morning. You guys are working late. Thank you.

Grelko Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I just got up a couple minutes ago. How's everything going with you guys? Guess I'm going to hang out around here or over on the Discord site a bit, while playing some crappy games until this awesome game comes back online. A few miles from my house up on the hillside is a big strip of coal. Part of me wants to go over and take a hammer to it. (serious) I take stuff to the recycling yard down the road sometimes, so I really do drive around looking for "scrap steel, copper, aluminum, etc" once in a while lol Matt, don't forget that you can use a program like HXD and look at everything in Hex form. You should be able to check everything oldschool "row by row" if you needed. I used that a couple times while helping some people bug fix their games over the years. Good luck.
MattScott Posted May 10, 2019 Author Posted May 10, 2019 Hi all, This is my last update for the evening. I'm managing the hand off between engineers and then going to call it a night. We got entirely through the restore and most of the repair and then the database errored. It cost us hours of work. Instead of proceeding on a shaky server, I'm having the team tear it down and rebuild it, so we know its stable. Unfortunately there is a lot more work to do. I don't have a good ETA, but likely 12 more hours. I'll update everyone where we are at in the morning. Sorry, Matt 2 5

Grelko Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the update. Too bad it wasn't better news, but hopefully everything goes smoothly for you guys this time around. Can I get an offline version to play while you guys are working on the main game? Edited May 10, 2019 by Grelko

I understand I can be rude and ignorant. it is my own complete stupidity by my own design. a lot of times I just have to be quiet and just smile and like w/e. u guys do the work as I just consume, like a growing bacteria I will consume.
