Funcom:
This morning, the entire bank of 1700 servers has suffered instability. The 17xx’s were down at approximately 9:30AM ET this morning, and again just now at 12:00PM ET.
The result of this, for me, was me dying offline, and losing all of my stuff on PvP #1742. Nothing in the Event Log, no body marker. Just stuff gone.
I don’t mind losing stuff to PvP combat. I am ultimately forgiving if I lose stuff due to my own foolishness. But this was not my fault. And I am very angry.
One moment, I was trying to chop a dead tree with a pick for bark. It wasn’t yielding resources. I tried to move to a different angle, as sometimes is helpful if having a minor client/server sync issue. I tried three different angles. Nothing yielded bark. I immediately checked my ping, and server FPS. Stats were normal. Reasonable.
And then I was unexpectedly disconnected.
I love this game. And I will likely just go and try to remake all of my stuff. But I cannot easily replace legendary items. And rare/unique items farmed out of the Unnamed City.
This is supremely frustrating. DO BETTER, Funcom. Please. Please do better.
