Attention those with Sky Key corpses

[-Catherin-]

They are rotting hours to days early depending on when they were made. My sky corpses lost 4 hours. We had other people who lost days.

If you have a Sky key corpse you may want to check them while you can.

[Kekephee]

Any idea why? Some kind of bug?

[Thulack]

Guessing the downtime over the weekend screwed something up. Corpses that we made last thursday lost 4 hours and some corpses made on sunday lost a day+ in corpse time.

[-Catherin-]

I have also just received a response to my petition stating these corpses will not be restored. So fair warning to check your key corpses while you still can.

sheeeeeit


Thanks for the heads up guys, and sorry to hear about your poofed bodies

[Castigate]

Thanks for the heads up, my HS key corpses were also 4 hours off and one of them would have poofed on me tomorrow for sure.

[4WOFURY]

Thanks.

Yay to the denial of restoring corpses lost due to server error (/sarcasm).

[Reguiy]

RIP keys

RIP keys

i just want my blackburrow cask back :(

Thanks.

Very classic, good luck getting one restored back in the day :o

Can you really call classic on GM service? I'm not sure that's a great idea :\

[Breaken]

Yes Aussie, very classic.. Like having a GM move your corpse out of Hate, or Fear, because you're too lazy to go break the plane yourself. Very Classic.

I don't know what the GMs' actual reason is for not restoring corpses, this is purely speculative, but my guess is it's too difficult/impossible to do a mass restore of sky keys, because can you imagine having to dig through the logs to find confirmation for every single key piece for every single person who's going to lose their corpse? Considering some of these keys are two years old, and considering everyone has 8 keys, it's not exactly easy to verify. They can't just look and see, has this person EVER given Sirran a bird whistle? Because maybe they gave him one a year and a half ago, kept the key for six months, then lost the corpse and had to give him another. They'd have to dig a lot more closely than they would to see if you've ever had an epic. And they'd have to do it about 12,000 times because people also keep alts keyed.


Again, that might not be the actual reason, but I have a feeling it is. Being a GM takes up enough of these peoples' time, we can't reasonably expect them to spend a week digging through logs for key corpses.

Yea, it's far easier for the GM's to restore a Maestro lute than a bunch of sky keys


:D :P

O SNAP KEKE

I've never been a guide or GM, so I'm not aware what all it entails. However, I had figured it would be the same as summoning a decayed corpse.

Not looking for the items to magically appear, just for a corpse retrieval for a corpse that should not have rotted. That is done all the time for corpses with a ton of gear on them.

Not to mention, the technology is in the game for expired corpses to appear (I.e. Shadowrest (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zones.html?zstrat=256)). They don't just get wiped out of existence forever.

Doesn't seem like just making a corpse reappear that rotted due to fault of the server is outside of the realm of reason.

[BigHurb]

pixel lust leads to tears. desire is the source of all pain.

RIP corpses.

[Tongpow]

yeah no logs need to be looked at for a decayed corpse, they just get moved somewhere under the world or something. a guide here restored a corpse for me that was a year+ old in less than 15seconds

[4WOFURY]

However, it really isn't that big of a deal if the GMs just don't want to mess with it. I'd much rather they fixed other things with their time, such as Rogue Hide/Sneak (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146474) (though I'm pretty sure I read that devs that would mess with coding and guides/GMs that would assist with a corpse retrieval are separate...)

[Nightbear]

Aussie/Eunomia helped out our guild on Monday in Sky. Appreciate the time you guys spent, huge pain if everyone had lost their keys.

Selective GM assistance, very classic indeed.

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

If I were a GM I would restore every corpse but yours.

[4WOFURY]

It's a good thing you aren't a GM if you can't control your emotions then, isn't it?

I haven't said anything offensive, so I'm not sure why you feel a need to attack.

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

You sound entitled

[4WOFURY]

Just merely pointing out some logical fallacies. As I stated, I don't care if I get my sky keys back, they are easy enough to come across. The principle of the situation is what I'm arguing against. The server goofed, corpses expired before their time.

You sound angry. What is it that's bothering you?

Their server = their responsibility. Of course things happen, hence the term 'shit happens.' But just because we all agree it's no one particular person's fault, it does not absolve people from having to take any action.

This is entitled (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148044), lol

Should have quoted when I responded.

They're volunteer staff and sky has hundreds of corpses on it.

[Rararboker]

Afaik, in classic the GM's did not allow people to store sky keys on corpses. So technically not restoring them is classic..... just sayin'.

[4WOFURY]

How did they not allow it??

[Daldaen]

By GM's didn't allow, you mean people didn't love pixels that much / think to corpse them?
