Uh massive rollback...

I log on at my base and half of it's missing. At first I thought I was griefed but soon realised it was my base just incomplete after all the work I'd done on it. What's happened?

It was probably due to a rollback from an attempt to repair this lag/error somewhere on the map.

Other than that, Im just as clueless as to whats going on.

Could you not save the latest server and then update certain areas where people put a lot of effort into their homes?

No.

The rollback was necessary due to certain chunks crashing the server whenever people entered into them, or logged into them.. and having the server down for 5+ hours at a time along with repeated crashing due to people trying to log into the corrupted area, a rollback is far better than deleting peoples .dat files, as that obviously wasn't working.

Also, everyone who was on in the last day or so has lost their work, including me. And I'm sure the mods/admins don't feel like rolling back EVERYONE's lost work.

Rolling back a rollback? k...? Anyhow get over it, it was less than a 24 hour rollback..

Well if there was a way to save everyone's stuff so those who requested could have their homes fixed it would have been appreciated and not taken too long to do.

But if it couldn't happen it couldn't happen. I just wanted to know why a chunk of my home is missing.

And this is where you are completely wrong, most likely because you have absolutely no idea about what you're talking about.

Here, let me play some violin for all the QQ.

People who play this game expecting it to run perfectly are very...very wrong ;p.

Granted, it all boils down to me using /barrage, but still.

Wow Gorn you've just troll'd and tried to offend other a member of the server, is your mother proud?

The whole thread relates that he's questioning wether it can be replaced, so obviouslyhe's unsure of how it works.

Really unneeded post that hasn't helped anyone.

Seriously? You probably know jack all about servers. This post was just to find out what happened and whether it could have been prevented. So you can take your smart ass comments and get out my thread.

I believe there is recent backup before the rollback happened... but I think the higher-ups are working on finding exactly what was causing the server to crash and fix that very problem.

Where we got rolled back to, I think, is the last time (estimated) the server was safe, but again, I'm sure there is still a copy of the server more recently than when it rolled back.

We know the problem, wont tell you want triggers it tho

We have backups every two hours throughout April / May, the current map is approximately two hours before I got in from school on Wednesday, so it *should* be completely fine.

So in summary Orc - even though its backed up nothing can be restored?

Restoring builds from maps that are 'in the future', so to speak, would take way more time than it's worth. I won't bore you with the process but it just wouldn't be viable.

Alighty, no worries.
