Thanks for the response,
bad news is better than no news.
Please keep us informed.
We sure would all appreciate it.
Thanks for your continued endeavour for all us Exiles @Community
To clarify what @AndyB posted above, we have identified the issue. However, it is at the stage of finding a reliable repro case where we’re finding the dead ends and currently investigating.
Having a reliable reproduction step of an issue is the most critical step towards fixing a bug. We have again a few leads we’re now investigating, and we hope to have better news to share soon.

Thanks for the update @Ignasi
I know we (me) can be hard on you guys, both the Community Staff, and the Dev Team, sometimes.
Please know, that even though I am often frustrated, I do appreciate the continued efforts to improve the game I enjoy very much playing. (I wouldn’t be as frustrated if I didn’t actually like the game as much as I do.)

You HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME… so after months of not being able to log into our server (3828) today i tried again for the millionth time. Low and behold, i get in! What are the odds? I was ecstatic, like a fat kid eating cake! I quickly sent my clansman pictures of myself inside of our base that we haven’t seen in what feels like ages. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was standing in our wonderful base, fully furnished just like we left it. Blacksmiths beating iron, carpenters sawing wood, torches crackling… my home away from home. I was where i love to be and it WAS an absolutely marvelous feeling!
After a few minutes of running around our lovely base soaking it all up, still in shock might i add. I quickly realized something wasn’t right. I run out of our base and pan around the area for and few seconds and notice that every one of our fighter and pet thralls are gone! My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach. Our clan had 99 OF THEM! All max leveled named fighters and pets! GONE!! Absolutely disgusting!
After checking the event log, i find out that fighters and pets decay??? I had know idea thralls had a decay timer. I’m pretty sure the vast majority of players didn’t know this. Otherwise we would have asked for this to be turned off when the base decay was turned off…with that said, I am absolutely sure that the devs know about decaying thralls…
So the big question here is, why haven’t they been turned off??? @AndyB @Ignasi

@RootsRemain four nice bases sitting there vulnerable to a purge, I’m not about to grind those thralls again lol we had multiple of every thrall worth having not to mention geared out with swords of crom, predatory blades, yogs touch, that all needed to be grinded for and looted not to mention all top fighters wearing champion armor, black keep armor and so on that all needed to be grinded for. When the server was running players old thralls would sit in the server forever it seemed until we got tired of looking at them and bleed them with spike traps but you know the funcommodel let’s make a poor product but push out attractive content that we wont keep up to lure in even more dummies .

I swear to crap man this Game is like Crom.
Just when Im starting to chillax a little bit, a mountain of pain drops out of the sky squashing the daisies, which never really did anything to anyone, but Crom didn’t like how white they were so…

@TreyRex92 good luck, i got in around 1pm central time… i was going to ride around on my horse to check your base and other allie bases but my horse that i had from day 1 of playing this game is no longer with us(r.i.p Sabbath) and i noticed our neighbors thralls were gone. Then suddenly my controller shorted out from the tears that were pouring from my eyes…

Hello Ignasis,
It is concerning that the progress on the issue has been stagnant. This is especially true since you commented on May 10th that the issue had been labeled as category A (Critical), which was 32 days ago, or 4 full business weeks.
Also, hearing from RootsRemain that the in-game timers for thrall decay have not been turned off is extremely regrettable. This information leads into my question.
Are thrall decay timers impossible for the team to turn off?

To say this thread just escalated quickly is an understatement.
Based on @RootsRemain post we clearly lost all thralls/pets due to not logging in. My clan collected so many rare things and now it’s all gone along with all the rare weapons and armors on them lol this is a joke.
Wipe the servers and start over I don’t even care anymore I believe I’m finished following this. I played PVEc so I could enjoy building and collecting rare things alongside the occasional oops we didn’t mean for you to knock out that thrall and tame it.
Years worth of collecting thrall and leveling down the drain because of a stupid patch that helped no one, Meanwhile you all still release a DLC after and expect people to pay for it like everything is fine and dandy.
Im glad I didnt buy Siptah and anyone that was affected by this PVEc mess that did buy Siptah you’re a fool for supporting this game.
The only way to even rectify this is to restore backups of the databases from a month ago. Im 100% sure with the number of servers they have no way are they taking backups of every server.
This quote takes the cake and now its sounds like its being re-tracked.
So I say GG to you FC and everyone else that wants to still take part in this S show.

If it’s true about the thralls and pets decay timers being active all along it’s sad news, but not the end of the world, I did ponder my options a few weeks ago when got tired of waiting and not playing Conan, pondered quiting all together or changing to PVE server but neither felt right, so I’ve totally enjoyed my Siptah experience to the fullest since and feel like just scrached the surface of it. Not considering myself a fool at all.

Hello Immortalowl,
I am glad you are enjoying your time with Siptah. However, according to your posts, your ability to enjoy the game again was entirely reliant upon spending another $20 on content which does not fix the present issues with the affected PVE-C servers.
The issues currently in play are potentially prone to having the work on them slowed or stalled when the focus of the team is split between fixing problems and making new content. Looking at this from a business perspective, you would not fix problems hastily because that yields almost no profit. However, making something to be sold as dlc does yield profit.
Buying the dlc enables this behaviour because the company is rewarded for stagnation in problem solving.
My question to you is this: if the Siptah servers were to have similar problems to the currently relevant PVE-C servers, would you pay yet another $20 on the next dlc to enjoy the game again?

I had a thought.
Does G-Portal do backups on its servers?
If they do, perhaps a rollback would be possible.
This may result in some loss for those that may have been able to access the server, but could restore the significant loss due to Thrall decay.
Again, not sure if this would be possible, just trying to think of things to help folks thru this difficult situation.

Hello Rollotomozi,
G-Portal does not do automatic backups of its servers, only backups by request.
It is not impossible for a backup to have been created per request. However, it is unlikely due to the amount of time that has passed.
Ich verstehe es das du verärgert bist. Trotzdem sind es immer noch offizielle Server und nicht dein Eigentum. Diese Server wurden zur Verfügung gestellt. In den Exiles Lands bekommt man wieder schnell alles zusammen. Warum sollten die Siptah Käufer Narren sein?! Nur weil du verärgert bist?! Es bringt nichts sich darüber zu ärgern, du kannst es eh nicht ändern

Hello Andera,
Ich verstehe.
I made a recent reply to Immortalowl detailing the issues with purchasing Isle of Siptah while there is work to be done elsewhere:
There may be other servers to play on, but there is no guarantee that the current PVE-C server issues will not crop up again. On top of this, you are asking those whom are affected to reinvest all their playtime just to rebuild what was lost by something entirely out of the playerbase’s control.
Another way to look at it is this: the company has had a fair amount of time to fix an issue, has not fixed it, and you are suggesting we invest more money into the same product whilst the problem still exists only to give up on all we have and restart.
Your money is the only leverage you really have outside the company. I could understand your argument if the game did not have many issues, however, sadly it does.
If the issues were fixed in an efficient and timely manner the logic would be different. Do not give up your leverage in favour of supporting a product that does not support you.

Hallo 
man ,gibt doch in vielen Dingen unnötig Geld aus, oder?! Siptah verfügt auch über neue Bauelemente etc…Es ist am Ende doch jedem selbst überlassen wofür man sein Geld ausgibt, deswegen sind andere Spieler keine Narren die sich den aktuellen DLC käuflich erworben haben. Ich persönlich würde mich freuen wenn es eine Entschädigung geben würde für diese lange Wartezeit 
z.B. doppeltes farmen . Aber wie schon geschrieben es sind offizielle Server die zur Verfügung gestellt wurden . Ich bin froh das es diese überhaupt noch gibt . Da kann man nur abwarten
