character death after crash

[nabokov9]

my character ended up smack in the middle of the gnoll horde, Haven outskirts upon re-logging after the recent crash.  he got cut to pieces.

i spoke to orth in the Gamespy chat room about where i might end up upon re-log....but obviously it was a bad place to end up...i lost about 40,000 XP.  any chance of getting that back?

thanks!

okay....haven't seen any responses, so let me add this:

there is a discussion thread here regarding a kind of 'safety net' for relogs after server crashes - see orth's and Leanthar's posts near the end of the thread.  

if this is being discussed, is there any plan to help us now, until this gets implemented?  40K in XP, or even 20K after returning to the grave marker, is tough.

thanks.

There will be no plans of returning XP retroactive to this fix.  I can bet many many people have had this happen to them after a server crash.  This is not something new, the major difference is many times after a server crash before you'd end up in the Forest of Summons.

Please understand, it's not that I don't believe you deserve the XP back, we're just afraid of the endless line of others who have died to a crash (or said they did) that will cry no fair.

All we can do is to continue trying to close these issues so we get no more people making these types of requests.

orth -

perfectly understandable....no problem.  just wanted to get an official response.  

thanks!

Oiy, Sorry to hear about this.  I recently got put smack in the middle of a hoard of troubled souls after being about 7K from the next lvl.  I feel your pain.  Of course after death via the troubled souls, I actually got frustrated to the point of having to walk away from the computer trying to remind myself that yes, it is only a game.

ouch....
yes, thanks - actually Ollom relieved his frustration by meeting a few friends and paying a return visit to the gnolls.

a good time was had by all - - except the gnolls, of course.  har!
