It's probably annoying for everyone who actually earned over 40k creds and got the token and songs legitimately.

Sorry if I sound like I'm bitching, that's not my intention, rofl. It's just a little irksome, is all.

**MixMasterLar** · 07-23-2007, 08:40 PM

Kinda with Danman here.

**talisman** · 07-23-2007, 08:40 PM

eh, why bother trying to enforce some arbitrary rule that you're not allowed to play k8107 or whatever? just let whoever gets it get it while they can and cut your losses.

**Loyal2Death** · 07-23-2007, 08:40 PM

Don't feel too bad, suddenly 200k credits are missing from my profile lol.

**Tasselfoot** · 07-23-2007, 08:41 PM

we're TEMPORARILY setting all credit counts to zero.

Well, if a rollback is done, they should lose the token, as well as any songs bought in the shop. Only problem is that if people actually earned a token, they would lose it.

what is this about tokens?

How are you going to take into account what amount of tokens we originally had? If you resolve the issue, will we get the same number of tokens we originally had, or will we -shudder- have to start from scratch? Not sure if you'd know the answer, but please tell if you do.

Wait... what if someone played Excite Bike over and over and over and got a grand total of 1 bil with 0 credits? Unrealistic, I know, but it happens on a small scale...

concertm · 07-23-2007, 08:42 PM

I wonder if everything will be reset to the amounts that we're 'supposed' to have like the time the credit glitch was fixed.

MI4 REAL · 07-23-2007, 08:42 PM

I have exactly 195000 creds.

Previously I had...26225

**L_eMo_N** · 07-23-2007, 08:42 PM

haha... wow... im slow... i just noticed i have like 100k more than usual...

**Tasselfoot** · 07-23-2007, 08:43 PM

we have a credit count backup from a few days ago. i believe we'll be using that to re-set everyone's credit counts.

I dont understand the plan...unless you plan to just grant everyone X number of credits and tell them to go from there.

EDIT: sorry I didnt see your new post
Good Call

Wait Wait!?! What about people buying songs? what can be done about that?

So if we got alot of credits today/yesterday were screwed?

**Tasselfoot** · 07-23-2007, 08:46 PM

the re-set to 0 is to prevent any more unearned access to secret/purchased songs.

and then we're checking what caused this, and will re-set things back. might lose a few thousand, tops... a small price to pay, alas.

To add on what my brother has said, A data base keeps all of the activity logged and it is saved. Depending on how much the host reserves for previous activity, a rollback can be executing.

What this rollback does is restore the database to a certain time. So lets say they decide to rollback the database to its activity 2 minutes before this glitch happened. Then all of your games, challenges, tokens, everything would reset to what it was 2 minutes before this glitch happened.

Since half of the community probably purchased all of the songs they missed, I am pretty sure a rollback is going to be the choice to not only give back missing/gained credits, but to ensure that users who started yesterday don't have all of the songs by just a glitch.

I guess it isn't as much as resetting the entire database, good call!
