Mass error 7 :D
Rampager
anyone else get it?

Not I. What makes you think it's a "mass" Error 7?

Yeah, it looks like all the servers did a roll back (or something equally insane). I lost the last 8 hours I did playing festival games (lost all title track points) and all the tickets have returned to my inventory - so technically nothing lost but time.
Maybe there was some serious problem, so they just rolled the servers back 8 hours? An exploit or something?
EDIT: Hundreds of people are reporting the same error in game.
EDIT2: Could be an anti-afk-title farming measure ANET put in? Even though I was active the last 8 hours while playing festival games, I never zoned, so maybe that's how it's determined? It looks like I got all my money/tickets back... but I still wish I hadn't lost the 30k on my lucky title

I didnt lose anything and Ive been logged in for the past 5 hours. No err7's for me. And still logged in as i type this.

I seem to have lost only a couple of minutes, so maybe it's the amount of time since a player last zoned?

Chatting to a guy on US server he has seen no rollback - has happened on Euro for sure
Mace Gridlock
I lost about 4k off my lucky title not sure about unlucky..happened right after the fireworks.
I am also on the euro server.

Did happen allready the last time when the rings were around. First A-net auto kicked people that were AFKing the lucky title and then quite a lot of them were banned for "botting" (which was later on reversed of course).
/later edit:
Wasn't the "last time" but rather an event before that.

Guess it was only euro server.
Everyone move to American server! ;p

I got kicked out of a map I was vanquishing. I don't feel like doing it all over again >.<
I wasn't rolled back though, unless... need to check if I need to redo any quests.

Same here... lost about 2 hours worth of my lucky title.
They wouldn't/shouldn't care about people afk'ing the title. It's having the desired effect of people blowing loads of cash without much return. It takes gold out of the game which is something they are trying to do at the moment.
Imagine they'd actually tell us why it happened though. Gaile is currently online but of course it's impossible to get in to a district that she is in.
I think they need to start looking at something that allows her dialogue to be seen in all international districts of the town she is currently in.

This happened during the first day of the last Boardwalk-enabled event, on the Euro server only. If this is the second time it's happened, I think it should be looked into.
Polgara Darshiva
Have the odds been played with as well? Could that be the reason for the rollback?
I was playing for around 2 hours this morning. I bought 1 000 tickets and when I was kicked from the game I still had around 800 tickets left.
I've now been back in for 25 minutes or so and I've already lost close on 400 tickets. Can somebody please tell me/us what the heck is going on!!!

just rushed back from work to check, haven't been kicked or logged out thank god.
Seriously anet need to look at this and fix it. Last event a guildie of mine got rolled back while he was asleep so lost all the time before the rollback and then a good 6-7 hours ontop of that till he got up.
This is especially worrying now seeing as they have upped the max level for lucky/unlucky titles.

Just came from Gaile tonight... this is probably what's happening
Meikleham of Tyr
I played for about 10 hours yesterday off and on, and I was never AFK for more than a minute or two at a time between chatting with guildies and organizing skill templates.
Their "afk check" must be really really stupid, because it found me - a normal boardwalk player
Apparently you're not allowed to legitimately play the boardwalk games for extended periods of time, either.

I really don't see why they would do this, as someone mentioned before its taking money out of the game.

Apparently the ONLY way to avoid rollback is either change districts/log out at least every hour, or never play the boardwalk more than an hour at a time. Which I think most people would agree, is completely ridiculous.

Gah going to work so hopefully we'll have some official news on this later.
arcanemacabre
This exact same thing happened the last time the boardwalk was open, if anyone remembers. It was written off by Gaile that it was some kind of data corruption when "saving" character information or some junk. Kinda makes ya wonder, huh?
Milennin
Don't know how that Boardwalk game works, but if they hate afkers so much, why don't they just make something you can't do by afking...?
daraaksii
...So how they thought about maxing out the title? Chatting for 180 hours?
Polgara Darshiva
I can't believe it would be an afk rollback. It's probably a cover story to mask what really happened. 
lilDeath
So must one rezone every hour or what?
seems a bit counter productive to what they are actually encouraging people to do...

Well, it isnt just lucky/unlucky titles that are rolled back, its EVERYTHING that you did since you zoned to that area.
The items i sold yesterday are back in my inventory, so thats how i know

I didn't play the boardwalk game. I farmed outside Shing Jea, returned, went to the merchant, went to Xunalai. Answered door to postman, returned and found that I had been logged out and rolled back a couple of minutes (items sold to merchant were back in my inventory).
If it's to prevent AFK'ing, it's major overkill.

If this is to prevent afking, please present a way to achieve these titles in a realistic timeframe without it. Thank you.

does this mean that people can duplicate items? or do the buyers also lose what they bought through trade?
I certainly wouldn't want to see the Diablo II SoJ happen in Guildwars....

For me I was forming a group for Abaddons gate with guildies in the international districts. Suddenly we all god err7'd and came back to ID 2, with all our skill adjustments having been undone. So it looks like we had a few minutes of rollback. However I was on the build I switched to between first entering ID1 and having the err7, but both my builds were on templates.
When I tried to zone us to ID1 we were told we were already in that district and the number of the district we were in changed from 2 to 1.

I definetly got rolled back, I left the rollerbeetle game, and went to shing jea bought 2 cupcakes, and then bought 1000 tickets, and sat for an hour on the rigns then went to the forum and finaly bed, came back this mornign to fined i had my character logged out, the 20 victory tokens back and no tickets with 15 k of gold and nothing on my titles
if this happens every time you do rings its a total waste of time, who wants to log in and out to do damn rings!

The templates are saved on your laptop/pc so are always unafected by a server rollback :P
Did have a error 7 today but 2 hours earlier, got 3 reconnect attempts and they all failed, an dthen it said cannot find the mission you specified.. (while i was in a explorable
)
EU server seems to have some problems IMO, got error 7 yet again and had 2 times the reconnect option before i got a error 19 (Cannot find the mission you specified).
Very handy reconnect function that doesn't work -_-

As I understand it, there was a major exploit, dont ask 'cos I dont know the details, but this was bad enough that the srevers had to be rolled back. Probably too many cupcakes dropping after yesterdays c**k-up when none dropped.
Either way you should all have lost nothing but time. :P

I don't know any other Dev Team that can piss off gold-sinkers as well as ArenaNet can.

I was logged out, playing another notorious MMOG at the time, and I didn't lose anything. Now I'm afk'ing in both... Go figure.

Exterminate all
Didn't Happen to me but i don't know when it did happen to you guys....I was afk for a little like 4 hours and didn't get anything.
Coridan
this is bullshit....i mena come on now that the title make a difference in game play they put in an AFK check? what about all those other players that are reaping the rewards of getting a seemingly worthless title the last 3-4 times they had rings...the only way to get a good title track is to AFK rings...the winnings are so small that it takes a good long time to get anything.....lost points that i had gotten even when i wasnt afk....stupidstupidstupid.....btw I am on American Servers....played for a few hours last night...then went afk around 11:30pm Est in dist 14 of Shing Jea.....total bs
Evilsod
Nope, didn't happen to me and i'm on Euro. I was afk'ing it last night up until about 5am GMT (my uni router drops connection at that time) and i came back with an almost empty inventory of tickets, gold spent and points gained.
With a title that can only be even worked on one weekend every few months, that time means alot. Lockpicks are hardly a way to get anywhere close to maxing these titles. 250 lucky points, what now seems like 2.5mil to max? Bollocks.
