> Hello everyone, A quick update on the situation with lost Thralls on official servers that many of you have been experiencing. There was an error when updating the Summer decay timers which regrettably reduced Thrall decay timers to 1 day instead of the usual values. This has now been fixed and official servers have been triggered for a restart so the correct settings are picked up. We are actively discussing the follow-up actions to rectify this as best as we possibly can. We will let you kno…

Well, you did it again.

I signed in today with 173 hours (7 days) left on my base. And the event log shows that all thralls decayed 2 days ago because “no member of the guild has been online in a long time.”

Why is it even possible for the thralls to decay long before the base does? Maybe it’s time for you to change the requirements for thrall decay.

Last time you did this there was such a backlash that there was a server rollback. But for some reason, I don’t see that happening this time.

Already a few posts about this!  
I too lost mine on my PS4 server. I still had 172 hours left on my buildings. Lost my Thralls by 2 hours.  
Very Angry.  
Not that I lost the thralls, ( Though I did have some unique ones from the purges) but the amount of resources and equipment I lost.

I lost every single thrall, all pf them gone. 80 followers of which 70 were level 20 with the best perks i could get with rebirth potions…  
Did Funcom acknowledged this already?

I just logged in into a server i rarely play on, just a tiny base to look at what friends doing there (no clan). My measly four sparse equipped thralls decayed three days ago although i am pretty sure that i logged in just a week ago. But: maybe i am wrong, i play on several servers soooo… maybe its more than 10 days.

But why are no decayed buildings? I think because of the bugged refresh timers as sometimes anyone who comes along can trigger a refresh regardless of ownership. One friend (again: no clan, i play solo!) has his hut nearby, so if he checks my timer he might give me more time. For foundations and stuff but obviously not thralls.

Lost 110 followers.

About 60 were combat types all capped. The rest were various pets and dancers.

Had 4 dancers per teleport pads and had 4 pads.

Now i start getting all those dancers back.

The messing around of the decay timer (in a circular manner) ALWAYS has an impact. It’s been impactful twice a year. Each time Funcom insists on adjusting it.

It is stupid to move the default decay timer around on official servers for an arbitrary holiday period for one country or culture.

I have said as much every time when I see that the decay timer adjustments have been impactful. But Funcom doesn’t seem to care, nor do they ever get the memo.

Still waiting on any info about what I am to do about this? I lost over 80 thralls, mounts, pets and the Sacred Hunt Teddy Bear. Most of the thralls were lvl 20 and many had legendary gear.

This happened to me as well. Lost 95 thralls but bases & benches still there, (those thralls at least are still there for the time being until they go alive I guess in next Age). Players shouldn’t have to batten down the hatches every time there’s an update. And for already placed thralls, to have them disappear, what can we do?

**Very frustrating to have no response at all.**

last time it happened we had @Ignasi post what Summer brought., other times, since we have not heard anything this time, i think it prooves this game is not longer as important as it used to be for them. i think if they fail with dune, this game will become important again as it is the only real source of income they have.

this is the kind of stuff PR and [@Community](https://forums.funcom.com/groups/community) managers needs to respond quiclky.

since rollbacks are out of the questions, double the XP gathering for thralls, and increase the chance of fining them, now imagine this bug with deployed crafters too , NOT PRETTY!!!
