Server Rollback 11/25/2013

[3dB]

Hi All,

Today the server suffered from an unexpected rollback that undid all changes made after noon on 11/24 until noon 11/25. The scripts that are responsible for generating the map began to error and left the server in a state where it was no longer saving the world to disk. While performing maintenance an admin restarted the server unaware that this event had occurred and Minecraft resumed the latest saved copy of the world thus losing ~24h of gameplay. At this time we are making modifications to the scripts to ensure that this does not happen again. We apologize for any work lost as a result of this.

If you were affected by this rollback please let us know. We will work to make it right and refund you any materials lost as a result.

After 2.5 years of running a Minecraft server on 3decibels.net I am proud that mishaps like these are now extremely rare. Still we take them very seriously and continue to work to make the environment as stable as it can be.

Thanks,
