Just scraped through a server issue.

I have managed to keep my character alive since about week 2 of the alpha release and have become somewhat attached to him, we have been through quite the adventure. Knowing how "old" my character is helps apply the challenge to keep him that way as for me it's all about survival. I'm fully aware I shouldn't get attached to a character at this stage of the development but after 6 months it's hard not to. I've avoided death through careful gameplay but there is always a chance that someone else may get the upper hand or the game will get you with a glitch. Sadly the game got me today with a server issue and relieved me of absolutely everything except my character who scraped through and was not reset! So I now enjoy the hunt for new gear and supplies before I get sick or worse and my character lives on for now. The day he does die for whatever reason will be a sad day with a memorial service haha, then I'll do it all again with a fresh one.

 

This is only the second glitch I've experienced since the beginning so I consider myself extremely lucky.

 

I posted this as I've read lately a lot of characters old and new are being wiped and reset completely due to server connection issues and thought It was blind luck to only lose my gear.

 

Stay alive.
