Karmaterror 982 Posted January 7, 2014 Ok, so iv heard about these database wipes a lot on the forums......im starting to think its just players falling foul to the servers that are having problems staying connected to the hive. Just logged in a few mins ago and my guy is still there, gear and all. Hes gotta be over 2 weeks now...maybe 3. Anyone else still going? And if it is this then get those safe servers bookmarked people ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 7, 2014 I've lost my char once and it was my own fault for joining a server with a non-official name. Stick to country-coded servers like GB 1-27 etc. and you shouldn't ever have your char wiped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16182 Posted January 7, 2014 Hello there Thats good advice, Mos. AFAIK there's only ever been one public DB wipe. Rgds LoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted January 7, 2014 Ironicaly i dont use a country tagged server, though that is good advice, Iv been on Fox company gaming since i started on SA and its been fine. Defo recomend that server, though im sure most are OK :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konna 149 Posted January 7, 2014 Also servers with a older patch wipe your character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hitem 3 Posted January 7, 2014 to much serverjumping will make your char reset.and this is, as you expected, due to the server missing/failing to connect to the hive, and when you log on and keep playing on a new char it overwrites your stored char on the hive with the new empty one. (rocket confirm).Ppl just need to chill down and dont jump around so much. Check your charscreen before switching servers and make sure it has recoverd your specific char. if not - turn game off for a few and retry when servers have catched up.

Karmaterror 982 Posted January 7, 2014 Or, like me, find a "home" server and just play there. I find it a lot more rewarding knowing all my gear came from there, not from 10 different ones lol. Looking forward to private hives...especially now that the server owners wont have access to the server files :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted January 7, 2014 Ppl just need to chill down and dont jump around so much. That helps but doesn't really fix the problem. Even if you only join one server, you might get unlucky and pick one that's not hive connected or which isn't yet white-listed. They just need to correct it so if a server isn't connected to the hive, it doesn't accept new connections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
