Time travel isn’t unknown in World of Warcraft, but usually when players experience it there, it’s a thrilling adventure to other eras.

Team lead, almost 25 years of experience. Our raid team lost a Warlock that suddenly woke up at level 90 in MoP gear yesterday. First person on Khadgar to get. As The Burning Crusade comes to a close many other guilds made good progress in Sunwell, Covenant and Xeon both downing Twins on the alliance side and the all Finnish Horde guild, Karma killed upto Twins. While the loss of some players and guilds took a lot out of Khadgar's raiding scene early in The Burning Crusade, those that stayed cleared Black Temple prior to the release of Sunwell, where as no pre-TBC guilds were able to accomplish anything comparable. Khadgar is fairly very highly populated server, with the most recent Census results (Feb 2009, from www.warcraftrealms.com) indicating an overall population of a little over 18,000 players. Khadgar has a generally good community atmosphere which has improved since pre-Burning Crusade where world boss attempts were often interrupted by rival guilds while other various pieces of guild vs guild drama affected the server. Their verbiage on “under investigation” and “how to prevent it going forward” leads me to think they know exactly how, but are trying to track down WHO. WhyTroyWhy (one of the sources) is actually a friend of mine, he has TEN toons effected by all of this. “Champion! All but one server first from Venoxis in Zul' Gurub up to Loatheb in Naxxramas was accomplished by them. It's primary language is English and it uses Central European Time. I can fix this. The namesake for our realm is Khadgar, who led an Alliance Expedition to the orc homeworld and closed the Dark Portal from the other side.

However, some players on the game’s Khadgar server experienced a much less fun version of time travel this week as they logged in to find that their characters were de-leveled back to 80 or 90 — or deleted outright. That bug is going to reproduce itself EVERY TIME the value is less than 10.

The Daily Grind: Which doomed MMO would you love to play again from launch? Perhaps a disgruntled mod tearing up data on their way out the door.

Bugs don’t really occur in any reliable or predictable way. Why some characters are gone COMPLETELY I have no idea, unless it just randomly deleted characters if you ran out of character slots after the merge.

Data in a database does not magically change on its own. My comment was not saying you were wrong, but rather Blizzard’s statement was rather weak because the “how” is pretty straight forward. Star Citizen has 720K total backers and 34K subscribers according to gathered public data, World of Warcraft’s new wings have the community in an uproar.

I’m wondering whether Blizzard by any chance is using same outsourced server provider as LOTRO…. Considering what I know about Khadgar the character, this is a very Khadgar kind of thing to happen. I program business software, not games, but I can tell you bugs are highly reproducible making them highly predictable. Early in The Burning Crusade the Alliance side of Khadgar was plagued by guilds disbanding and reforming, this and a number of high profile guilds and players transferring to other servers severely affected early raid progress in The Burning Crusade. After a number of the guilds and players responsible for this transfered to other servers, Khadgar's population dropped from "Full" to "Medium" and even for a short time to "Recommended" before stabilising again. Khadgar, now an advisor to the naaru called A'dal, can be found at the Terrace of Light in Shattrath City, located in the western borders of Terokkar Forest in Outland. Bugs get hard to reproduce when when the set of conditions to reproduce them get so large as to make them rare. Yes, that’s the exact amount. share. Dude, I’m a professional software developer.

Blizzard confirmed that this was happening, saying, “As many of you are aware there appears to be an issue, specific to the realm of Khadgar it seems, where several characters have ‘deleveled.’ It is something that our teams are aware of and it is under investigation. Before the Burning Crusade expansion was released, Phantas Magoria was the most well progressed guild on the server. Alliance, Main is Sketty. (That person’s main is gone, too.).

In light of that ( Blizzard’s statement) I said that it’s “Not too hard”, but I was not clear in my response who I was directing that too, so apologies. The speculation I’ve heard that makes the most sense is that an old backup somehow got merged into existing character data. It’s because the bug is reproducible. I did the magical math.”. You ever submit a bug report? It's primary language is English and it uses Central European Time. Relationships between guilds have, at least in public, for the most part greatly improved. Between major content patches 2.1 and 2.3, life was breathed back into Khadgar's raiding guilds with four guilds defeating Vashj and Kael'thas thus entering Tier 6 content. Affected players are encouraged to submit tickets and then warn the gaming public about the future of Warlords of Draenor.

After that you run the transaction log up to just before the issue occurred.

There was another alliance guild at some point who did okay... don't quite remember the name?

:-). I’ll let this be by just saying my post was misunderstood. Bovine Intervention went as far as clearing both Hyjal and The Black Temple. You recall seeing something like “steps to reproduce”? The good news is I have figured out a way to make our entire universe travel back in time without the assistance of the Bronze Dragonflight. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat.

Whether it’s easy or hard to do, that their initial response is essentially “We don’t immediately know how to restore your character and need to figure that out” is not a statement that builds confidence in this situation. In the first few months after the release of The Burning Crusade, Bovine Intervention (Horde) and Bloodlust Enthroned (Alliance) lead the way in progress with Bloodlust Enthroned taking the server first for most of clearing Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, Doom Lord Kazzak and Doomwalker. Only the top 10 guilds are shown here. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. All of … Maybe I worded it wrong, but also maybe don’t assume that I am just the dumbest person in the world and explain to me how basic logic works. LOTRO Legendarium: Is LOTRO at war with Orcs – or with its playerbase? © Copyright 2015-2020 - Overpowered Media Group, LLC, LOTRO Legendarium – Lord of the Rings Online, Yikes… WoW’s Khadgar server accidentally sent characters back to Mists of Pandaria levels, Blade & Soul’s Cosmic Horizon update goes live today — here are the patch notes, Bless Unleashed launches for PS4 on October 22, with preorder packs live now.

Post-patch, several guilds have entered Sunwell and started to make progress there with Covenant and Karma continuing their excellent pre-patch progress and clearing the instance. The European Khadgar is a Normal (PvE) server with a medium population.

The rollbacks didn't quite end the server's troubles though, as some of the restored characters were either removed from their current guilds, or are bugged and unable to talk in guild chat (while also being unable to guild quit, as they "aren't in a guild"), as well as much more serious issues like guild banks associated with characters being empty. Whatever’s going on in the Sauron’s Tower that is Blizzard HQ, I don’t even pretend to know. Go gather 4967.5 boar livers for me.

Covenant (Alliance) and Karma (Horde) also all managed to clear Black Temple prior to the release of 2.4 and Sunwell Plateau, sadly Bovine Intervention disbanded before 2.4 launched but are reforming for Wrath of the Lich King. The bad news is that this is our first time meeting because you don’t remember anything that happened… and some champions might not exist at this point in the timeline…, No worry though! Someone I know race and name changed a character a few months ago and now that character is still there at level 120 AND the previous version of the character magically also exists. Not too hard. Depending on how often they backup the transaction log it could be within a few minutes of the event. Khadgar's PvP community is not particularly well established, with no large guilds as such dedicated entirely to 'hardcore' PvP, with any particularly memorable guilds long gone and disbanded. Bugs don’t occur once and then never again. I doubt we’ll see an official explanation. This article is a realm page for the Khadgar US realm (server). You ever beta test a game? eX something maybe? Covenant (Alliance) and Karma (Horde) both achieved kills of Kael'thas (pre-nerf) and since the 2.3 Kael'thas nerf a number other guilds have too, among them Eminence (Horde), Iron Brew (Alliance), Nova (Alliance) and Xeon (Alliance). They contain magical properties. WTF? He must be a real mathemagician in that case. This is for 25-man mode. This.

Khadgar is fairly very highly populated server, with the most recent Census results (Feb 2009, from www.warcraftrealms.com) indicating an overall population of a little over 18,000 players. However, if you can identify those steps to reproduce, the bug will occur every single time. Bovine Intervention's ability to clear all current TBC raid content was a first on Khadgar and led to many players, both Horde and Alliance, expressing their congratulations to Bovine for their hard work and effort in doing so.

Name Faction Race Class Level Talent Achievement Guild Last modified With the opening of the PvE to PvP realm transfers, nearly all of Khadgar's top arena players have x-realmed, a large group in particular going to Stormscale EU.

I have some good news, and I have some bad news. As a player I’d be worried if this happened to me, especially the part where Blizzard has to figure out the “how” of returning players to their previous status…that uncertainty wouldn’t feel comforting right now. It always seems so dead!

What? Massively Overthinking: What one MMO mechanic or system would you like to banish to the ends of the earth? just out of curiosity really, does anyone else play on Khadgar server?

Second in Battlegroup Stormstrike to complete Monument & Reach Phases 3 & 4. You cannot definitively say they should behave one way or another other than “unpredictable”. Some dev was trying to test something out but forgot his tools were pointed at live data. Maybe the professional software developer should work on reading the post they respond to more carefully next time. According to the Warcraft server population-tracking website Warcraft Realms, Khadgar's Alliance player population exceeds the Horde player population. Could be someone got access to the admin tools and did it maliciously. Everfrost and Notorious also cleared Gruul's Lair shortly after and made good early progress. Liked by many on both Horde and Alliance and now a respected, skilled Orc Warlock player leading the top guild on Khadgar - Bovine Intervention.
