All my stuff gone to server "Maintenance"

Hello Darth_GW7,

Losing time invested as well as material gained sucks, I and assuredly others feel your pain.

I don't have any spare bear meat but if you like, I will replace your wrought iron in as long as it takes to make it, should you accept the offer. Sound fair? Ideally it would only take about 20 min from your go-ahead to they are in your hands, but I am out of tea apparently, so we'll see.

Bored Idle map-reset-waiting is bored and idle.

If only a couple of people are taking the time to ask you for their stuff back, you only have to take as much time as it takes to refund that couple of people.
I'm spending MY time playing YOUR game, I want to be sure that my stuff isn't just going to randomly disappear and not come back as long as I'm playing.

I feel SO bad that you've used your time to play the game for Loftars enjoyment, rather than the reverse.
While it may be so, everyone else plays for their own enjoyment rather than Loftars so they do not feel entitled to anything.
Secondly, it is impossible to prove or disprove a loss, for example I could claim I lost 100 steel last crash.
It would be impossible for Loftar to disprove this as the nature of a rollback means the data was lost.

So if you get your shit, I want my 100 steel.

Truthyness.

At any rate, even if I do not get my items back, which I don't expect to happen now, a more advanced warning should be given, as barely one minute is not enough time to save the character and log out. Even if it extends downtime by a few minutes it would save the work of many more hours.

Generally, I'm going to agree with this, Make an announcement of ~5 minutes, then a timer walking down and automatically kills the server on 0:00, people who didn't log out at that time, Their fault.

Actually, no. He's spending HIS money to give YOU a game for free. The only thing a crash does is give you slightly less free game.
Until you start shipping money over, the devs owe you nothing.

Guess he didn't want his stuff back that bad after all.
