I returned today to find that my bank had been cleared when I know I had a significant amount, and my inventory was cleared. I knew about the inventory being clear every so often if you go inactive, but not my money. Andrewkm said for me to post this here and I hope that I can get some help.
I believe if you have go offline too long, it will clear your inventory and balance to keep the system from getting to large with unused player data.
But I am pretty sure I had more than 100,000 $ so I'm really confused why it would have been cleared...
You may have had slightly less then that. For example, having exactly 100,000 and your balance could still be cleared. 100,001 or more and it won't be cleared.
Regardless of balance all inventory/enderchests are cleared after 14 days is my understanding of the clean-up policy. Set homes and balance wipe after time based on how much you have in ECD or multihomes, etc, based on your length of time offline.
I understand this, I am not worried about my inventory. I am upset about my balance though. Is there anyway to check to see what it was before it was cleared?
Having a log of something that gets wiped is rather contradtictive... And regarding how long ago it was likely wiped it might just be gone :/
You are right I don't know anything about files lol, and I know it must create a lot of problems for the server, but people's balances should be protected.
Such a simple thing, would require such a monstrous overhaul of the entire internal money system of ECC. It's basically not possible with the resources we have available right now, not to mention the only viable option would cause enormous amounts of lag (speaking of global non-local MySQL balance DBs run off external machines, etc). We are no where near as big a server to even consider that. Perhaps if we ever average an absolute minimum 500 players online at all times, we will consider rewriting the entire balance system. Again I can give you a 10 page response as to why we can't protect balances, but I just don't have the time.
