090922 Slight rollback on Wild
{{update-header}}
==090922==
* Parts of the database on the wild server was rolled back to yesterday as the white light altar was destroyed because of a missing check on the server allowing it to be moved into lava. The effects of this is large on the server population so a rollback was warranted.
* The server is designed to handle erroneous input but as this event shows there are situations that lack protection. As we have opened the client to send any command to the server at any time these types of bugs were expected and we are improving the protection. We do however expect you to report such errors instead of intentionally creating havoc since it steals time from normal development.
* Regarding punishment: A lot of the players had a very good time because of these bugs and a lot of the GM's as well. It was done in the open and a lot of players dragged all sorts of items around. It caused commotion and excitement. I like that and I think most of us do. It seems to me the wild server needed some action like this. I rolled most of the damage back such as the faith and favor loss, but yes some people lost some skills including the people who did this. The intention was not malicious or egoistic but rather playful and it was done by so many players so there will be no bans for this.

* The problems involving some misplaced items on the wild server was solved, and the items were returned to where they were this friday. No rollback was required. The wild server players received sleep bonus as a small compensation for the hassle. Please forward any remaining issues to Rolf.
