Recent Item loss/structure/toon deletions

[Vashman]

The Recent Server crash, had data corruption. This may have caused items in your inventory to be deleted. We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

so last week i stayed up really late one night getting some awesome resources i found, then the next day the server was wiped...... then i spent all of yesterday getting resources just to have them disappear this morning. I have the WORST luck! Anyway, hope you guys can get the corruption issues figured out, can't wait for 1.0!

The joy of working in BETA. LOL. All of my characters naked, free, and loving it! Seriously, it is a bit of a bummer. I also lost resources for making my crafting characters transportation, but like I said, "The joy of working BETA." It's not the end of the world.
Off to the Jawa Trader!

Thank goodness for bras and underpants.

I just realized Jawa Traders don't have footwear. That's going to mean some serious sand burns on the soles my characters feet. /hot_ouch_hop

Actually we're in Alpha. Alpha is when features are being added in, Beta is when the all the features are in and everything is being fine-tuned. Then, once it's all right, it's released!

Good to know that I just created a crafter, and haven't play with him, so I didn't lost anything, but that's the fun of playing in Alpha or Beta, you don't know if next time you log in you've lost everything you did.

Also, many projects will have a Release Candidate(RC) phase before official release and after the beta. Many of the Drupal projects I work with run with an RC before a 1.0 is dropped.

0.30 (?core3?) <---- SWG EMU is prolly still about here to beta, depending of the feature in question
1.0a <---- implementaion of features
1.0b1 <---- bug testing and fixes (I wouldn't call SWGEmu beta, as only a small part of the features are in test, not the entire EMU.
1.0RC1 <---- for final polishes before a release
1.0X Pub <---- this is where public servers take it up unless they begin with an earlier development version

It's not beta until all the features are implemented and being tested against all other features. A Beta is a complete package with hella wrinkles in the wrapping. Once all the bugs appear to be substantially handled a RC is released for last minute tests. If there are no critical bugs, then you can drop a Final release, otherwise you drop a RC2 and run it again, rinse, repeat until you have a solid stable. Granted there will be bugs at Release and un-implemented features, but in large commercial projects things tend more toward thorough testing before a 'supported' release.

When the server was wiped, did that mean characters too? I came in today and had to create a character to get in.

[Lubbe]

Lost two of my 7 characters. But they were made recently.

Is there a posibility that this could happen again?

Yes, there is always a small chance. If you wanted a percentage I would say about a 100% chance of it happening again.

LOL!! True dat. I lost ALOT of resources, all my clothes and a carbineer I was grinding from scratch. Major bummer but whatcha gonna do?

I will not be detered.

Heheheh.......On a test centre never get attached to anything

Including your name......I logged in to find all but one of my chars wiped and my total inv gone. (still had my speederbike in my datapad though......Underpant speederbike streaking FTW!) The part that shocked me was to find that someone had created chars taking up two of my names already.

Funny stuff!

When I created characters today they had no inventory. No survery device or crafting tool for the artisan and no weapon for the marksman.

Good, I thought it was a higher percentage, that comforts me a lot.
