Area cleaned

[Rhiannon]

I logged into my village and found all my cubbards, tables, winepress, coops all gone from just this one area around our tavern. Other areas of the village are fine WTF is that and why. A 100 tile area cleaned, cabin still there, caudron but empty...all cubbards with my tree seeds, my hq pots, hq tables just gone. Totally devastate all the work. How is that possible in a database to wipe such a small specific area in such a way.

There have been nuked areas in the past, but I recall them to be much bigger. You sure decay/vandalism had nothing to do with it? Because it sounds like you haven't logged in for a while.

I can't think of any way in which such a small area could be nuked, indeed. As burgingham says, are you sure it isn't some kind of weird vandalism?

[Rhiannon]

I logged in/played last night as I have for ...well..nearly ever..lol

Everything was there last night, today, as i said, about a 100 tile area in the bottom east corner of the village was cleared. The cabin is there, and a cauldron. As well as the crops and beehives nearby. Yet inside the cabin all cubbards are gone, the tables, a couple ovens and all stuff around them (Barrels, boxes, containers). It's like this little 100-150 tile square and everything is gone except the fences, the cabin and 1 caudron. Its not vandalism as it is inside a sealed double pally. Everything else in the village is fine, just a specific area cleard of all internal objects and stuff like ovens, 2 chicken coops and wine press and various barrels and containers. Only 1 caudron remained (now empty) . I know that earlier before i logged on the server was "Shut down". NOw all tha stuff was gone when it "came back up".

Correction, now all the cubbards in the main area of the village are also completely empty (but are still there). Soobviously it is either gtrowing in scope or was larger area than I thought, is there some database records that can be checked to see if some database error occured?

[Oddity]

Are you the only person in your village?

[loftar]

There is no database, so there isn't any database error that could have occurred.

Is the area claimed? In that case, it is guaranteed not to be any error. Any truncation would have removed the plots as well.

Just dropping in a thought.
Could be the previous owner of the place have dropped in for a prank. (?)
(As RAVENHOLM is not the original builder of the place.)

Correction.
Completely forgot I could see when the last occupant was seen in kin list. Says "3 weeks".
But I'm not sure if thats from the servers point of view, or my characters point of view.

Something almost identical happened in Port Eryie a while... ago 2 months maybe. In all of the "unclaimed" area's within the village claim, everything went missing. The claimed area's were untouched. I also thought it may be a server issue, didn't matter though, within a couple of days everything was back to normal. (actually it helped clear out unused and unneeded items)

After placing a claim over the idol and only allowing the current active villagers access, we found that trespassing scents were found at the idol relatively soon.

Apparently a previous villager, relatively new ( no criminal acts apparently ) came through and thought they would do the same thing again but couldn't.

Since then, at the village idol we placed a palisade (far enough around it to prevent hops over the pali) it requires a key for any active villager and is the only key to the inside of the village that people may carry. (yes this is a bother but until the village idol security issue is fixed its better than nothing)

Not saying this is what happened to you but check it out. start with a claim and allow access only to those you know at the idol.
