    Suggestion: For every rollback, rollback the entire server to the same time.

    Reason: I recently lost a lot of items and money during a rollback. I also had some items duplicated. The only way this could have happened was if I was rolled back, but my town was not -- or vice versa. Or if my town was not rolled back as far as I was (or vice versa).

    Just prior to the rollback I had been warping between my town and the market, buying items, selling items, dropping them off in my chests in my town, adding items to trade signs in my market shop, etc. An example: I bought all of the smooth stone from someone's shop, then dropped it off in my town. after the rollback, the trade sign for smooth stone was empty (and I assume my money was still gone), but the smooth stone was not in my chest in my town. Another example was that I had two diamond pickaxes before the rollback - E5U3S1 and E5U3F3. After the rollback, the fortune one had turned into a silk one so I now had two silks. just before the rollback, I had swapped the picks in a chest in my town, then warped to the market.

    This is simple not possible for a couple of reasons.

    1. Rollbacks are a last measure in case something has gone wrong.
    2. Different plugindata (like the content of tradesigns) can't be rolledback, but the physical sign that's there can be rolledback, resulting in the items in the sign being lost forever.
    3. Rollbacks are never the same, sometimes a certain plugin has crashed and some things were rolledback, but rolling the entire server back could cause even bigger losses.
