On Gportal private servers, can’t the server admin still access all of the game data? Isn’t Gportal just a hosting site with tools to make setting up a Conan server a little easier than doing it on your own server? I haven’t tried Gportal, because I prefer building my own server hardware.
Like Grymm keeps saying, I don’t think Funcomm can legally do that transfer, unless maybe every player from that server database signed forms giving permissions to do so. No chance of Funcomm going through all of that work to make a few players happy. The time and effort for such a process, as well as the expense to them (employees time is money and especially when legal is involved) is far greater than the loss of revenue they might see, should all of you just quit Conan for good.
At this point, just restarting on a fresh private server is the best suggestion I would offer. Grymm’s suggestion is a great one for quickly recovering and rebuilding, but if it were me, I would want to take it slow and enjoy the slower progression. I always love restarting a game fresh. Gives me a chance to try new base locations and designs.
Hopefully I don’t sound cold hearted with this post and I am really sorry your server has been such an issue. I started on an official PvE server when Conan first came out and all it took was a week away from the game to lose just about everything. After that I went private server and never looked back.
