-LOCKED - Maintenance off and Rollback by 6 hours
Posted on 2015-02-04 15:32:20
Hey all,

Some time this evening, Lioden encountered a hard drive fail on its database server. The admin team have been working tirelessly since then to try and correct the situation and retrieve as much data as possible from our daily backup. Fortunately we were able to restore most of the data back to this morning, but unfortunately we lost all your private messages, user logs and friend requests.

The server has been rolled back to 2.53 am Lioden time February 4th. Anything past that moment is gone, thankfully that is not even half of a day of gameplay.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and will strive to right the situation by investing in new ways of doubling the protection of our servers.

For anyone who purchased Gold Beetles today after 2.53am Lioden time, please send a message to Abbey (#1) with your PayPal Transaction or Receipt ID in text format (no screenshots or images) and she will work to restore your GB to you as quickly as possible.

EDIT: If you are sad that you lost awesome deals on trades, visited studs etc, check your browser's history and lioden links you visited during those 6 hours. I am sure you will find most of things again!

For me my training is very important. I am losing a whole day, I lost the game. I have put so much effort into today, only to see EVERYTHING gone and rollover will STILL happen.

No.... rollover.... please.

I dont want to waste a whole day. Because that is a whole day for me. I just woke up to find that my lionesses did just a SINGLE hunt of the 20(!!!) I had sent them on before I fell asleep...

I dont want a rollover. To make it fair for everyone. These who were still online for the site to come back had half a day basically to do stuff. I have only half an hour to get just a single more hunt in.

I... dont... want... a rollover!

"What made the hardware fail if you mind me asking?"

Physical hard drive failure happens when something somewhere in the drive stops working, much like your car's engine failing. It's not necessarily caused by something that happened (unless you drop the computer, lol), aside from time and normal wear and tear. The Internet can probably give you more details.

@Axel, frankly it sounds like we're lucky Lioden still exists to even consider having a rollover. We could have lost everything, rather than a day of playing. It's annoying, yes, but it's just a day - not everyone's entire gameplay (which is years for some of us).

Luckily I didn't do much before the reroll and getting things back on track was easy. Any messages lost were not important. Just glad the games up again :)

Silver, for me that was my entire gameplay basically. And now I lost it and there will be a rollover and I will lose even more. An entire day! That is a lot for someone like me!

The least that could be done is not to have a rollover this time. Just to give us all the chance to catch up on what we were doing. I lost everything for the day.

@Axel

No one had half a day... It was maybe a few hours. Everyone is in the same position, unfortunately, and there will be a rollover.

Don't get too downhearted. c: The only thing we can do from here is move forward.

EDIT: That is, no one had half a day to redo things after the site came back up. It's only been a few hours since the site came back. I'm not talking about losing only a few hours. Literally everyone lost a lot of their game "day".

Yes, one can do something. Like... no rollover.
My lions will age and did not train for today. That is devastating for me after I have sent them on 20 hunts before the crash and sent my submale on at least 20 patrols. I am mourning my lost progress. And I want them back.

It's one day, not everything you've ever done since you joined in 2013. If you managed to get more than 30 lionesses and level several of them above level 30 and 2000 stats in one day (that you are saying you lost), I am seriously impressed.

A few hours? Maybe for some specific timezone. I lost my entire day, not a few hours.
I really wish we had no rollover today..... My training is really important. I don't login on the days I can't do at least 15 hunts. I hate losing stats.....
Ok, admins can't do anything against that kind of crash but... Please... No rollover....

Trust me, that is a lot. When you are working on stats, a whole day without training -especially when you DID train them just the progress was lost- is A LOT! My lions will not get younger. They will get older and I have no chance to send them on more hunts.

I simply want no rollover. Is it really so much to ask? We had that before when the server had a hiccup and I am surprised to see that the staff still wants a rollover despite we lost everything for the day.

Please give us a chance to get back what we lost. Please, no rollover today. Please, mind stat trainers! Please, mind those who don't have the same "day of gameplay" than you americans!
