Has the game just been reverted? I spent 2 hours on the ticket games only to find I am back to where I started.

Same thing here. I tried to log a support ticket but it's so full of crap I eventually gave up.

Rollback confirmed.
It has been rolled back 8 hours almost, lost a whole night of /AFK boardwalk games.

Now that really sux. I hope Anet will explain why they had to take those drastic measures.

I'm confused. Unless i'm misunderstanding when the rollback took place it doesn't seem to have affected me. I seem to have kept the tickets i won today.

Edit, ok now i see it, I seem to have gotten lucky and only lost some cupcakes and victory tokens since i was roller beetle racing when it must have happened. It wasn't rolled back 8 hours tho or i would have no tokens.

Greendc27, which servers are you on, US or Europe? I'm on the European servers myself.

There is a thread in riverside about the same thing. Seems to be a euro server issue. Im on american server and no problems for me over the last 8 hours at all.

I'm on US servers. There does seem to be a very short rollback for me because i lost a few tokens and cupcakes. It must have been pretty short tho since i only raced for about 15 minutes

I've been disconnected twice this morning so far, on EU.
Don't know exactly when the first dc happened as I was afk, but when I got back i had to choose a char again.

Second time was more noticeable as I was actually there and boom, back at char selection screen and with less lucky / unlucky to boot.

Wonder if they had a problem and they had to rollback a few hours... Game economy problem perhaps?

I know they had a problem with cupcakes dropping which they fixed and extended a bit to compensate, maybe they will do the same....

Rollback, LOL. Do any of you have the slightest clue what that entails?

Lets analyze, there was an exploit of sweets in the arena ... global crash caused ppl to lose hours of progress ingame, sounds like a rollback to me so go "LOL" somewhere else.

Well, I just got back from work and saw one of my rare errors in my whole guildwars time. Normaly I have no error but now I was logged out and when I logged in I still had the same amount of lucky points as this morning (6am GMT+1)

well.. i put this in another thread, but


This just might be what happened, since Gaile's not sure also.

I was on for about 4 hours on the American servers (2 hours AFK in the Remains of Sahlahja) without any rollback and then I went to the international district of Kamadan a couple of minutes before midnight PST, where Gaile happened to show up as well. And I stayed in there for another couple of hours without any problem.

Looking at the time of the OP, I should have been on when the "rollback" happened, unless it happened before 8pm PST

I fully do understand the implications and stand by my former post, there was a rollback for a timespan of app. 8 hours ..

Exactly so! I understand that there was a major exploit, dunno what exactly, and Anet decided to rollback. Some affected for an hours worth of gaming others 8 hours.

Rollback - LOL = easy to do, dont YOU always keep a backup program running which you can go back to after a major crash?? Anet do!

If that really was what happened, I'd have to say that it's one of the most retarded things I've ever seen ANet do. Anti-AFK measures in a game that requires you to.. stand still. o_O I was at my keyboard the entire day, talking to people but not moving, and I still got disconnected and lost tickets.

Before/after:



Four hours of my weekend wasted. Thanks ANet.

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

It's not an AFK check. It was a roll back. People who were not AFK got DC'd and rolled back as well.

She should never have said what she said and you can more than likely expect a retraction.

Sorry guys, but this thread has turned into one of pointless and unwarranted flaming of Anet
