Restoring from back up means that we will miss last actions of our chars?

Edit: and, if the game is locked, how is it possible that I have just had a new event on one of my chars?

That is usually the case, Indigo. Guess it depends when the game last backed up...

How often are the backups taken? If the last backup was taken more than a few cantr hours ago, I am screwed.

It looks like someone hacked the game and did this. While I have no proof, all my characters were killed after I locked the game (and no others).

No, they targeted me after I locked it. There were about 50 other characters killed before the lock.

If you find out who did this, get me their address. And I will make sure this person won't do it again. :twisted:
