Contact me at [email protected], if you can include your steam Id that would help a great deal. I will be able to help you out.
There is nothing "rewarding" about it - it was deemed that the bugs and issued that had killed people were serious enough, that we needed to take drastic action. Which we did.
That doesn't alter the fact that it was portrayed as some sort of gift, or favour. "Happy Christmas | Your Abandoned Characters have been Revived!"
Thanks santa!
Don't get me wrong here, I really want the game to be all it can be.
I would love to post a long list of appraisals and suggestions, but without any kind of roadmap, it makes it very hard to do so.
Poking holes for the sake of it? No. Poking holes because there are already tears in the seams.
You are absolutely correct there - I could not describe that post as anything less than tone deaf.
That's very much my fault - I was too focused on the actual changes and when asked to review the post, i did not. Going to discuss with team that maybe we should retract that - and make a post that more ... in line with the reality.
I think we got the messaging right on discord, just not on steam - sorry about that.

Like some form of reward, they have generously brought characters back from death that they initially caused. Merry f**king Xmas.

The characters needed to be revived because of the mistakes we made as a development team, as I said in the announcement on discord:
We've had a few concerning bugs and situations that resulted in people losing characters. We made some backend changes yesterday that had some unforeseen consequences resulting in an outage - however these changes have allowed us more flexibility with how we manage our back-end systems. We also predeployed a version of the game last night that will show more than three characters, so that when you login you may see more than three characters. I have revived 22,000 characters the database has set to abandoned (left on prospect), and 42,000 characters that were dead (on a prospect and downed). A more detailed post will follow.
