Recent Item loss/structure/toon deletions

Oh I thought it wouldn't happen to me, well I was wrong, it's always cool to log on naked with your inventory empty and all your resources gone.

I'm gonna cry in a corner.

Well I hope it gets fixed soon, imagine it happens everytime the server crashes

The first time I was starting to get attached to my stuff
Time to re-craft these clothes!

Seems like we don't have any backups which sucks

The database-leak can happen when the server deadlocks. So when the server deadlocks its chance that the database get screwed.

I've seen evidences of this as well. Many things are cached in volatile memory while the the server is running, and NOT actually written to the MySQL Database until a later time - sometimes, not at all.

This was a major reason why backpacks were funky for a long time.

Eventually, they will find all of these instances, and make sure DB updates happen in a more timely fashion. Only that can help prevent character corruption issues when a server either crashes or Deadlocks.

An analogy would be keeping all your computer based, in process, work in DRAM Memory, and only committing it to Hard Disk periodically (once an hour.) One Powerfail, BSOD, or app crash (Send Report?) and you lose all you work. Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc - prior to Autosave and Autobackups.

Who HASN'T this happened to? (It happened to my Pastor just last Saturday. Lost all his Sermon Notes. Had to start fresh!)

Livid, there is a Gungan (Blue Frog) next to the starport in Theed. Hes got anything you need.

Items disappear, except stuff received before this started happening. Subsequently they are taking up space....

2 characters are full with 50+ space...so items are phantom...

[Trisomy21]

Hmm inventory seems to be completely forked. I can't loot anything, harvest anything and all the stuff I had before was gone save for 2 useless items. Oh well.

[dennis278]

Can't a server like save every 10minutes? like "server saved all ingame characters" then if it crashes just load up?

[remters]

is there any way of keeping recently made items in your inventory? instead of losing them and constantly everyday having to recreate them?
