Honestly I can't see myself continuing to play this game unless I get my character back, not after suffering this injustice after investing so much time.
Lesson: don't play games that have real risk if you put that much emotional investment in it.
You've clearly misunderstood my complaint on every level.
No, I understand it completely. You think that because the game has bouts of instability (from either server lag or a bug in a client), there shouldn't be any permadeath. If you don't like the game as it exists, you're always welcome to quit playing and try again later. That goes to anyone that doesn't like it. Hell, I don't know how many times I've died because of lag playing Diablo 2, and all I play is hardcore.
If there is anything I don't understand, it's because you didn't state it, even in between the lines.
Personally, those that lost everything to the land nuke have more rights to get items reimbursed than those that die to lag. You can at least anticipate lag and do things that won't get you killed.
