DarkOne1313 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I was playing just a minute ago with my character and I was boarding a shuttle to Mos Eisley after finishing a mission. While it loading Mos Eisley, I got shot back into the menu screen where you pick your character. I thought nothing of it and just tried to connect to the server again, AND THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED. My character on the menu refreshed to show him in only his underwear, and the info beside it telling my character's server, planet and all that disappeared. I tried to connect anyway but it says "Choose your character" when I try, acting as if my character didn't exist. Can anyone tell me what happened?

Neon Vampyre Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 One of two things... 1) A major bug has stolen, eaten, and shat out your character with no clothes... 2) The server you are playing on went down. If thats the case, don't worry. In beta, Bria went down, and I was left with three characters naked and bald! (yes, in Beta, you could have more than one character on a server! ) Anyway, when the server went back up again, my characters were stood there again, in all their rotating glory. Don't panic yet!!

DarkOne1313 Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 I play on the chilastra server by the way and I tried to load the game now once again. In the launcher it is NOW saying that it went down. So I understand what happened there, but I have just one question then: When the chilastra server goes back online will my character go back to normal on the menu and I can load in no problem?

Zenmetsu Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Is Bria an unstable Server. Caus eil probably start there because my friend is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Can't really say... it was reliable enough in Beta... but now? Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenmetsu Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Alright, thanks anyway. I'll probably go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOne1313 Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 Well the notice saying Chilastra is offline is gone now on the launcher and it says all servers are up, but Chilastra is no where in sight. It's completely disappeared but all the others are there. Can someone else check this so I can find out if it's not just me? Just go to "Create" in the menu and take a look at the server list and tell me if Chilastra is anywhere in that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 If the server has been completely taken offline, it won't appear on the server list until what ever maintenance has been done and it goes live again! Don't panic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenmetsu Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Can you go to different servers wit 1 character and if you do do they start same place and have same stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Not sure... I don't think so... someone on the official forum said you could do that on EQ... but it cost you $15 to move your character! Whether that will be the same for SWG, I have no idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenmetsu Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Oh I hope you don't have to pay $15 to switch but hope you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 There are now hundreds of posts on the official forums going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on *cough* (sorry) about losing characters sycotiksid, so you aren't on your own. AND I'm even more sure now that they've just taken the server completely offline for maintenance... God, how I wish I could post on the official forums... I'm not quite sure I could hold my language in check though! Just something I've observed today. *sigh* People on the official boards have been complaining all day about the Devs being on holiday, and how it isn't right, and there are still loads of bugs, and they're taking their games back and blahblahblahblahblah. SO! What do the Devs do? Take the servers down for maintenance. NOW, all the god damn f**kers on those boards are moaning and whinging about the fact that they're doing maintenance when they want to play! TOUGH ****! Do you want the game f**king fixed or not!? This isn't a rant at anyone in here by the way. Just some of the complete and utter MORONS on the official boards. I'd tell them myself if I could.

Neon Vampyre Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Oh, and I doubt they'll do the switching of servers for free... To be honest, it wouldn't suprise me at all if you have to pay to switch servers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOne1313 Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 Ok thanks again Neon, and i'm sorry if I'm being a pain asking this. I just panic easily and stuff. So just bare with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnateEnigma Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Same exact thing happened to me. My character did come back though. He's gone again now but I am confident that he will return shortly. SWG e-mailed me saying that this character "wiping" was common and usually just meant a failure to connect to your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I say again guys, this isn't directed at you, because you asked a question! All the other lot simply shout "BUG!" and go off ranting and raving about how crap the game is, and that winds me up something chronic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
