Lost items after drop trade + server outage
Posted: 06 Jun 2009, 02:24
I created a new account and character (duodecim) and drop traded (lvl 1 characters can't normal trade) my Warlord helm and plate, my winter gloves and boots, and my steel shield to it.
After trying (and failing) to get that lvl 1 character through the snake cave in the desert, I went back to transfer the items back to my main character (undecim). The drop trade was completed successfully, and I logged the lvl 1 out. a few seconds later my connection was lost, and when I logged back in, neither character had the armor and it wasn't in the place where I dropped it.
I'm guessing what happened is that the lvl character's inventory was saved when I logged it out, but my main character's inventory wasn't saved and the data was lost with the server outage.
P.S: Yes, I know the risk involved with drop trading, but I think this same thing would have happened if it had been a normal trade.
