After the curve the storyline took last month, I was expecting more to come for May, but unfortunately I was wrong. sad There was no progress in the storyline this month, hopefully next month they will come up with something.
But was this month long and boring with nothing to talk about?
question
No, there was something that didn't gave something to talk about, it gave A LOT to talk about. 3nodding I am talking about the infamous and unexpected rollback. A gold glitch exploded this month and many greedy cheaters used it for their benefit, causing a mass inflation in the value of several event and donation items. gonk stare The only way this chaos could stop (or at least reduce the damage xp ) was by doing a rollback. But what's a rollback?
Rollback: In Gaia, when the admins ''rewind the site'' by a certain amount of days. In other words, everyone's account goes back by that amount of days and all the progress you made during those days is lost: Gold earned, items earned, items sold (gold earned lost and item returned) and you get the idea.
The rollback didn't affected me much, I just lost a couple of extra fishing caps I didn't needed (but planned to sell) and around 1500 gold, which I can get back in a snap. But of course, the complaints have to come sooner or later, *sigh*. People asking for their items and gold back, others thought it was a glitch because they don't know how to read announcements yet, and a lot more of complainings and cryings. crying No, I am not crying, but many sure did, I feel sorry for those who lost very rare items they got within these days, rollbacks never show mercy do they? But is better than having to buy tons of wanted items for insane amounts of gold and the admins do what is best for Gaia. 3nodding
Another rollback for the history of Gaia, so far there have been 3 rollbacks, at least those are the ones I remember:
October 03 September 04 May 05
Probably more to come in the future if the citizens of Greedyville keep screwing things up, or very big glitches keep attacking the site. Oh well, is the Alpha Testing phase, so this kind of stuff is always to be expected.
After the rollback was over, the admins awarded us with gold to compensate for the things that were lost, mine rised by around 700g, but apparently everyone got 1700g, oh well is better than nothing and I got (worked for them again) all my caps back and sold them. mrgreen Complaints about people not receiving the gold compensation were heard too, probably they weren't around for the rollback so they didn't lost anything. People these days, they are hopeless. xp
We got new features this month also:
Store updates, new clothing and hairstyles to choose from. whee Gaia housing store update, introducing the Occidental Japanese furniture. biggrin Inventory organizer, tired of having an unorganized inventory? Now you can arrange it as you wish. razz Storage, crappy items taking unnecesary space? Stock them were they belong. evil
And finally and most importantly, the donation items. We got the choice of a guitar of demona and a guitar of angellus. There, happy now you music item beggers? They are pretty good in my opinion.
Once again good job for you admins for doing what is best for Gaia and their users. 3nodding
I would like to try something different this month that I haven't done yet...
I would like to hear some opinions about the events that happened, in this case, the rollback, wish is something that doesn't happen everyday. Did the rollback affected you? A lot or a little? If you wish, feel free to comment about it.
Until next month then, hope the storyline continues, they left Gambino and the sisters corpses out there. xp
