My character is gone

Postby JoonasVonBernd » Tue Apr 01, 2014 8:21 am

WTF!
I logged in and i found my character is gone.
The last time i logged out my character was in my base,well fed,equiped and no bear or other animal insight nor a battle going on.
Now my character is gone with no scent nor a skeleton or an explanation on how it died.
Considering the server is being weird from time to time like restoring all of my destroyed urns and the items inside them to making my growing plants vanish .
Can an admin restore my char or look into it?

No.

9 times out of 10 when things like this happen it's because you went around leaving summonable scents. The rest of the time it's because you logged out in the open and someone sniped you/an animal walked on screen and aggro'd you before your character logged out.

But thats illogical considering my place is quite big,had no animals nearby in anyway and character logging out takes only less than half a minute and no enemy insight.
Is there no way for the admins to check it out.I wasted a shitloads of time on my character who mysteriously disappeared without my own foolish actions.

a few things for you to check BEFORE assuming it a bug.
(there is no way for the devs to check it out for you unless you have a very ultra-special rare case, or you bring up convincing enough facts on the table to convince someone here to forward this to them. remember we occasionally have this kind of threads popping up.)

1) have you ever shared your account with someone else? or given your passwords or hints? or your passwords were too easy?
maybe your *friend* killed it for some reason.

2) did your char die?
go to a character creation room and check if you have the runestone of the char you lost.
quite often ppl check different accounts and scream about losing their chars and find it on another account.

3) did you log out outside?
even if you didnt see any enemies/animals in sight at the time of logging out, sometimes things do happen.
animals could spawn, some players could have been hiding outside your sight range, aiming at you.

4) have you committed crimes lately?
ppl can kill you while you are offline when you have left summonable scents.
check where your hearth fire was before, if there is nothing there, someone might have destroyed your hearth fire to summon you and your skeleton should be at the place where summoned.

You may want to use a freshly created alt to see where your character had died at which can provide a clue on what happened.

If you have a runestone, then you died.
You were either sniped, or you were summoned.
Do you have a palisade? If so then you were likely palibashed, and the person bashed your hearth fire and summoned you elsewhere, or they sniped/summoned you inside your walls and destroyed or stole your body.

I didnt create any crimes so i doubt i was summoned
And if i was sniped then any scent should be left.
