    Personally I stand by my initial opinion from when the whole thing started. Using the available backup and rolling back to 03/03 would have been the more sensible option. Not just from the perspective of some random player. One week worth of progress lost vs not being able to progress at all for 2+ weeks (at this rate possibly 3) is easy math. Not to mention the negative PR that surrounds the project in both cases. I don't know how well EA does on the financial side (we already had this discussion) but being cut off of their income for several weeks surely sucks. Both ways result in disappointed players, rightfully though, but in cases like these keeping the damage as low as possible is key. And that is coming from someone who would give up a +15 swb weapon, two serums and an alt char that just got powerleveled to 65. I could deal with having to redo that, or rather hope for some juicy events to make up for it, but all in all I really would have prefered it that way.

    Some may argue the usual. It is just a game, go play something else. Go outside and wait it out. Normally I would agree with that sentiment but sadly covid is still a thing and for some people, myself included, stuff is both restricted and complicated. Several countries are once again facing lockdown and hitting the gym, traveling to another country, going out to eat in restaurants, visiting the cinema et cetera is simply not a thing. Apart from other games or activities AION is something that is engaged with a more serious mindset and not being able to grind or racking up pvp kills is just lame. It kills motivation and each passing day just makes other servers or games that fill the niche more appealing.

    Oh well.

    Just like you say shrr. If admins roll back the server to 03/03 mass of people will have a problem, there are people who want rollback to 03/03 because either the enchant on the feather failed or they made a mistake. but there are only a handful of such people. But as we look, Euroaion has a chance to be inactive until April. If something serious happens again in the OVH server room. Summarizing. What the admins will not do, the players will complain.

    Even if they would reveal it then what? The rack being online doesn't mean we get EA back instantly. As they've stated in the first post they'll grab the latest database and migrate said data to another datacenter to avoid eventual ongoing issues with the current one. Hate to say it, as I'd have really loved it to be back by now, but sometime next week really is more realistic.

    Thanks for explaining this :)
