Rift server crashed, their backups failed, and had to restore from old backups

[Kicksome]

Is there a link for this somewhere?

Rift lost player / character data because of data loss or corruption?

Yeah, they took out the link from their patch notes - in the patch notes it said - players from these servers click here. It was so lame. No other notice at all for days. Their crappy exp bonus for 48 hours didn't apply to quests - which is really the only way to level. And the bonus was 25% or something insanely bad. vs. buying a 160% exp pot that applied to quests - but costs $6 for 2 hours, without stopping.

And a side note - they have done NOTHING so far to make up for the loss, aside give a handful of people - not even everyone - only 3/5 of my guys got it - $5 worth of "gems".

Here it is - the bitch thread and bad excuse thread of the year.
