any news yet? which option will u be going for?
lol, honestly KK you can't blame people for being pissed off. Does this loss of chars/items and such = an extra free month or two of neocron 2 for those who stay?Quote:

Okay the got a snapshot from 20th that meens, KK got data.
My opinion they rollback to the 5th and merge the XP and the stuff from the snapshot they took the 20th.

Id be willing to bet most people would cope with 2 hopurs of downtime a day to ensure that DAILY backups are created.
We'll keep watching the poll for a bit. It won't hurt to prepare your characters right now in case we'll make a new snapshot.
swg backs up their 15 servers in like 40 minutes KK could back up every entire machine they own including OS inside of 10 mins oO
That meens if the secound solution,Quote:

We should be able to keep Saturn running until Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning and would make the snapshot when closing the server.
That meens I can start level / build / get ready for NC2 already now or should I wait for the pool to end.
there will be, of course, an announcement and a cut off time if such an option is done?Quote:

Everheard about RAID? or something else.. or like doing backups daily?
They probably have only two tapes they swap regularly. ;)Quote:

ok being online for a while on saturn i see the opinions are VERY divided and it dont matter if the 20th win or the 5th half the server will be SCREWED over that way and they will even tho its NOT their fault
so KK to be fair and u need to be unless half the server is gonna quit
even tho its not intentional it is still ur fault and not the communitys
so i say make it so that every person gets the choice of the screenie or getting a few days to get rdy then make a new screenie
i DONT care how much work this is i really dont cuz its NOt our fault it got screwed up
plz do this KK its the only semi-fair soloution
Maybee get everyone who wants the 5th do sign in somewhere and those that dont sign in give em the 20th screenie
-lore
Sorry to hear about your loss, Saturnians, but I suppose ReaKKtor are at least trying to make amends (even if it isn't fantastic). Start prepping your characters again and hope for the best, ey?

No matter what happens ive been bumfucked either way
4 days soild of trading and construction, im not going to mention the amount of rares ive lost
Fuck it
Vote is currently divided 40/50/10
Really best bet is to go ahead with original plan.
Some people will actually lose their entire character if it gets rolled back the extra few weeks.
For the new player's sake (as in keeping them) - the 20th is probably the safest bet imo.
I'd rather keep 50 new players than give 100 vets some gear back, its easily reattainable whereas for a new player who's spent 40+ hrs killing rats and mutants - he/she will just go elsewhere.
Of course my own opinion.
So the current advice from KK is : Repeat something you were pretty annoyed to have to do once and we may or may not make you do it again tomorrow. We'll let you know....sometime.
WHAT THE F**K!!!Quote:

Can't you just bite the bullet, make a decision, stick with the consequences?
all this trying to pleas everyone is total BS. From general opinions and the poll, around half will leave if you rollback to 20th image, half say they will leave if you take the 5th and allow a bit of extra time!
I think you guys are taking the piss - I have already wasted HOURS getting symp and changing faction and lost it all - now I am supposed
this is kk's way of balancing you 4 slotted saturnians with the 1 slotted pluto nibs
stops you bringing over 4x the stuff of a pluto nib :)
(i know uranus is 4 slot too buy most of them play so bad they need all the item help they can get) :angel:
PM them some good, business-sound advice. I'm sure they'd love to hear it. I hate to say it, but I'm struggling to think of a better solution than what they've provided.Quote:

Please don't flame me.
without knowing what data is in the relatively small snapshot its hard to know if it will work.. but why not copy saturn in its existing state onto one of the existing instances once it has been shutdown, then apply the 20th snapshot to that? when it comes to migrating across to nc2 they can pick either option as each is effectivly separate server. the possibility of a 5th sept and 20th sept char being migrated is somewhat minor.. damn typing all that on my mobile sucked!
I haven't seen such ignorance for quite a while (this statement is like the way the music industry treats its customers atm). I'm sorry to say it, but nobody is really interested in logging in now and preparing the characters when nobody even know how the things will continue. Besides those who just cannot login right now for whatever reason.Quote:

I had my Pluto char setup on the 19th aswell, there's no reason you couldn't have too... For the event I was ready to join in, assuming that I'd hafta re organize myself afterwards. But the events never happened... So you shouldn't have had to make any changes.Quote:

Because we have saturn chars too?Quote:

Some of the players I know may have characters, but I also know there not capped, or have any decent stuff.
