Casual Games Reset 2020-12-09

I have some bad news. During this evening's server restart, something went wrong and, unfortunately, all casual games were lost. I am very sorry, but I am unable to retrieve them.

I'm not sure what went wrong. It was a routine procedure... I restarted the server to deploy some updates, exactly as I have done many times before. This has never caused any problems before. But this time, for whatever unknown reason, the system randomly decided to nuke every game that was open.

Anyway, ultimately it's my fault since I'm the one who pulled the trigger. I'm sorry.

By way of apology I've done the following:

Double SP Week is in effect starting now, through December 16th. All games started during this week will earn 2x the normal amount of SPs and PCs.
All users who came online anytime within the last 7 days have been given 200 ProtoCoins.
All users who came online anytime within the last 7 days have been given 1 week of full Premium features (if they didn't have it already).

To all casual players, please help us refill the casual games tabs again!

"the system randomly decided to nuke every game that was open."

Sadly it didn't nuked my 2016 bugged game. (And at least also another bugged game.)

That game gives me an error loading paths but the game still open so I can't leave coalitions.

My game is this: https://atwar-game.com/games/?link=3334275928

PLEASE Dave NUKE THAT GAME.

By the way the otther bugged game i found was this: https://atwar-game.com/games/?link=8916804787

Orcs are a horde, much like Turks. Elves and Men are light skinned, Orcs are often darker/sallow skinned, like Turks.

Because it deleted hundreds of casual games (BUT NOT MY FUCKING BUGGED GAME) so casual players lost a ton of SP. In your case shut up and enjoy the free gift.

I tried to close those games just now, but it's not responding to my command. So I manually marked them "closed" in the database, but that won't take effect until I restart the server again, and I'm a little afraid to do that at the moment

I love how the only games that don't get nuked are the ones bugged beyond recognition *smh*

Hopefully it will all get sorted out soon.

Thanks dave.
Finaly I'll be able to leave coalitions on my own again. No more waiting 2 years till the nonactive leader of a dead coalition comes online to kick me out.

Oof. Gotta love those server errors. At least you didn't accidentally PII like both Biden and Trump's campaigns did.

Question, though

If I have Premium and create a clan, will the clan disappear and/or kick me out in a week? If so, I'll just slowly save up until I can afford Lifetime Premium w/PC and/or drop some cash when I get it. If not, I'll set something up just cos I can.

OMG! that is terrible! I am not computer genius, but it always has a chance to restore the loss. Maybe we can ask around to give it a try
If not, we have to accept it, not happy, but what else can u do?

You can create your clan and once you are no longer premium you will still be the founder, nothing will change. You will not be ejected.

Hmm, must have been a glitch. I fixed your account.
