I need someone to commission the Orazian zealot cats mobbing a heretical boat full of terrified anti-Dominus followers. For @kalakh.
Seriously I can’t get it out of my mind.
Set to Jellicles Cats.

My brain keeps insisting my whole life has been knocked back three weeks, not just Arx. It was especially so this morning half awake and I forgot what day it is.

The team trying to rebuild…
Heaven help you all.

@crawfish lol I did that. My brain was like, “We have to redo EVERYTHING.”

lol lmao

Heard what happened, that is an absolute nightmare. I’m so sorry.
Do you guys need some chocolates or coffee delivered? -
What happened?

@Bessarion Database crash that cost us about three weeks of data. On the positive side, this could have been so much worse. Three weeks loss is a lot better than losing months. But it is still a lot of data to attempt to rebuild for a game like Arx. There is some stuff that is just gone forever because it would be too much of a problem to try to rebuild with the staff we have. We are just trying to focus on story critical stuff that we need and figure out the path forward from there.
But this could have been worse and three weeks is recoverable. Had the absolute worst case scenario happened where we lost a more significant amount of data? Yeah, I’d be dropping meteors and we would be resetting in Cardia.
lol lmao

@Herja I don’t know the specifics of your setup or what kind of skillset you have on staff already but I’d be happy to take a look at setting y’all up with some more resilience/backups/etc.

Missed it by that much. Now that would be all kinds of interesting.

I wish I could do more than cheer you on, but I’m still cheering you on. Broad strokes recovery is all anyone needs, right? Anything more than that that y’all provide is gravy. Thanks for sticking it out.

I’m more of a creative director and admin than the one that handles backing anything up or coding, but I will mention to Apostate for sure.

I told Apostate that if that happened, absolutely no one would believe this was an accident since I have been dying to make a game set in Cardia.

Thank you so much. So far, everyone has been really understanding which has made what has been a very stressful event a little less so. I am really proud of and grateful for our Arx community.
lol lmao

@Herja It’s true, the patience of the players has been pretty stellar and appreciated.

. . . I’m now upset we DIDN’T meteorite it and move to magic land.

With a game of Arx’s size I can’t fathom having to try to piece back together 3weeks worth of progress. I feel so bad for you folk and have mad respect for you doing it.
