Dwarf rollover?!
Wow… I didn’t expect a return to WAR quite like this. I log onto Heidi to see those big fat green letters announcing your guild is rank 6. Funky. I do a quick scan of the open groups to see them brimming at a healthy 8pm and I notice that not only does the dwarven area look a little more ‘full’ there is also an established order channel that is alive with chat.
I had to leave WAR for a week and I come back to good times… or have I?
A quick scan of my own character reveals something odd. I’m next to a PQ in Chapter 9. The same chapter I’ve completed previously except my influence bar is only 1 third fulled. Annoyed slightly but this I shrug it off, it’s happened before to me, I’ll simply regrind, no biggy. Although i’m trying to work out why a quest I know I completed, involving scaling a tower, killing a liche priest and then teleporting out isn’t complete… more so, what am I still doing in this god forsaken tower? I remember rushing out of there…
Grumbling about whether i’m going mad I glance up at my bars.
what the… I’m rank 19?!
That’s no biggy you say to me… except if you look at my previous post I was rank 20! More so, I’ve lost 3 reknown ranks, my mount, 10g and all my other goodies (armour sets and so forth). Shocked by this and more so, facking annoyed because of the shitty day i’ve had I boot up the HELP menu and whack in a report to a CSR asking what in the world has happened to Heidi that meant she had to be rolledback an entire day (and nights) work! I asked my guildies who confirm I was rank 20 until I logged in. This is beyond weird. I had spent all day on the machine to get her to that rank so I would be ready to come back and be within reasonable distance with my guildies. I also wanted to get the hell out of the marshes ASAP and was reserving sweet Tier 3 when my net was set up in my new house.
Well that plan has unfortunatly gone down the shitter hasn’t it?
2 and a half hours later, my rested experience keeps going up (it ‘jumps’ every time I hit it’s peak) and i’m sort of… close to where I was previously… except i’m only third quarters of the way to rank 20, i’ve still 2 reknown ranks to go and i’ve not completed any of the additional sewer quests I had previously (which means none of my quests in Altdorf that I did have been saved).
I’m not a happy bunny about this. I’ve always said after a live start if my character ever got wiped (e.g. Hellgate) I would never start again and simply drop the game. This feels pretty damn close even if it’s only a few levels, purely because I feel i’ve been punished for not playing! It’s hugely frustrating. The response time from the CSRs is also pretty bad considering I would rate this as a ‘serious’ case and yet i’m getting no answer/response.
I’m tempted to boot up Wizard 101 now and just spend the rest of the night on that because of the sour feeling left in my mouth from this happence.
