I received an in game mail from a GM last night in response to my petition, which basically said "were sorry we can't help recover tombstones.. but were glad you got your hotbars back!"
So... i guess they read my petition.. just missed the part where i said about 3 times the xp loss wasn't related to a death, but a crash
Either way, i'm not sweating it too bad. I'm sure (praying) all these bugs will be worked out by the time it actually takes a long time to earn back missing XP.
As I said, this is my first serious problem with the game to date. I fully expected the first 1-4 weeks of the servers being live to be crashes, rollbacks, bugs and all kinds of madness, so overall i'm still VERY impressed with the sigil team
I did have a funny bug the other night though...
I made a new char and sent a tell to my buddy to invite me to the guild. He wrote back "dude your already in the guild."
"no.. i'm not"
"yes... you are... oren, level 13 disciple"
"no, dummy, i'm playing phaethon, lvl 1 warrior. "
"I'm getting tells from oren."
"????"
was weird. My tells were showing up as being from my other character. We both though the other was crazy.
