So after a few long days of working with some friends, I finally had everything I really wanted to collect in this game. About 30 minutes ago (5:40pm central time) I was ready to head back to populated cities to do some anti griefing, when it appeared a 6pm server restart was happening, which I was ok with. I log out at 6:00pm and log back in instantly at 6:01 to find myself on a beach with no items....a fresh spawn. My friends and I in skype all begin freaking out, one of them is not far down the beach from me, also a fresh spawn. Why are characters being reset again with NO WARNING, and no twitter updates explaining what might have caused it. I just want to be updated so I can be prepared before losing approximately 20-30 hours of gameplay. I understand we're in alpha, but before busting out resets on us like this...can we PLEASE be made aware of them. Note: If all 4 of us are wrong about this character reset, or if it's temporary or fixable etc., please let me know what you know. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. For some reason though, even though 3/4 of us instantly logged out upon seeing fresh characters (out of frustration), all of us have apparently now been saved as fresh characters to the hive (we've checked on a bunch of servers now). So maybe the server lost the hive and instantly reconnected, saving all of us as new character? Well that's frustrating. But I'm sure it won't stop me from playing for hours on end...this game is too good. edit: "(we've checked on a bunch of servers now)"
