They're have to hire extra programmers for that too. It's also very difficult and confusing trawling through different versions of code displaying items in player shops at different points of time to make sure that people aren't trying to make a quick buck. Maybe there are ways that make it easier, I don't know. There probably are a huge number of tickets logged every day, too.
While the company and its programmers are at fault, and it's painful losing so much just because of an unexpected glitch, is there really any way that their current personnel could possibly compensate for these problems faster/more fairly? They should probably hire competent programmers and/or get a more stable server, but how else would they solve compensation issues which have already happened? :f6:
You've all got the right to be angry if you've lost something due to the glitch and failed compensation, I just want to know what people were expecting (realistically).
That's all very nice, but this wasn't an unexpected crash.
They took the servers down for a patch.
I'd expect them to take a full backup of the database, just in case something went wrong.
And I'd expect them to be able to, afterwards, search through said backup and find all items that were in mushie shops at the time of shutdown, create duplicates of them, and send to their owners via Frederik or Donald.
It's not rocket science.
