Can I add a few names to the list of people to resurrect? There's a few old charries I'd like back. :D

To be sure, resurrecting those affected characters will be exceedingly ugly (they will lose all their dynamic memory and their items will have fallen). A rollback is still preferable. I certainly don't look forward to playing 10 characters with amnesia and having all my stuff stolen. Also, how to explain to everyone they know how they just died and are back? I can make that fun with one character, not ten.

Well, deleting the death events would be easy. Also stuff on the ground could be moved back to the inventories but in a place like Dory where at least 17 people seem to have died, if I'm allowed to say this, figuring out who was holding what might be pretty difficult.

That is exactly where I had a character die, and she had a lot of stuff I think. I'm in that enormous pile of LOL ridiculous amount of items.

You know what's wrong? My first reaction was "How come none of mine got killed?" :oops:

Are you disappointed? *eyebrow* I was relieved none of mine got hit. I would've assumed it was that person who was posting warnings in the wiki.

What did you guys receive in your death reports? - that your char has died of starvation, that they had a heart attack or something more interesting like that they were struck by a thunderbolt?

Anyway, if there is going to be a rollback is it possible for the game admins to send the daily reports for the past two-three days? They can add a note like "the stuff that didn't really happen" or "your characters dreamt the following".

All of my carries are fine but if its looking like cantr will be down long past the 18th then I don't think I will be. I'd of gone nuts from boredom by then.

Can't we just carry on in the forums? A topic for each town?

By the 18th, I'll have long since forgotten the long, boring, political conversations that happened the last day or two.

I don't think you see anything if you die non-violently. It's been said that technically the people died of starvation, but they were still eating so they wouldn't get a "you are hungry" message that might be the last thing normally starved people would see, provided that there wasn't other stuff that happened between the eating and the death. There is no event for "you died" since it already says that in the email subject.

I'm glad none of mine died, I have a brief 10 minutes that I was checking things before the game went into lock down. I was trying to figure out why one of my charries got attacked by 7 animals in a row, but figured that when the animal attacks got turned on that they were making up for lost time.
