Greetings Daevas of Azphel,
Earlier today we began to receive reports that a small number of players on the Azphel server had received over 30 trillion Kinah as part of a reward glitch. Since that time, we’ve brought down the Azphel server and have been working diligently to identify how to restore economic stability. We’ve made the decision to rollback the Azphel server data to 6:00am CST this morning and will continue to monitor all servers for related anomalies.
It’s important to understand that we saw the rollback as a last option and made every effort to avoid doing so. We’re currently performing the rollback and anticipate the server will be back online sometime on Tuesday, January 5th. At that point, all character progression on Azphel will be restored to its state as of this morning.
As an apology for the downtime, we’ll be rewarding everyone on the Azphel server with five Lodas Amulets later this week. It’s our goal at NCsoft to provide the best possible service to our customers. Our apologies for the downtime and as always, thank you for your continued patience.
So how many Aion players are going to ragequit over this? What if you received a great drop from Dark Poeta, completed 12 hours of grinding, completed your xenophon weapon quest,or dinged 50? I would think all of the above would leave a sour taste in your mouth with the rollbacks.
Did NCSoft have a choice? Probably not. I imagine with trillions of kinah instantly added to the economy there would be no way to track down everything. It was the best choice for Aion, but if you lost something you earned legimately during the rollback hours you will be very angry.
Once again they offer lodas amulets as a reward. Is that really the best thing they can offer after something like that? How do you think they should of handled it? What would of been a better than giving five lodas amulets?
