Players should expect a multi-stage recovery process, and while the outcome may look bleak, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a development studio rebuild a database for some players to fix a problem.
The hopes of many players are pinned on whether Portalarium can successfully rebuild the database. However, the database version the team ended up restoring for the QA server was later confirmed that it was from August 24 th, which points to the possibility that the entire month of September would be lost in the test build. Over the course of several days, the developers wanted to make sure that players realized that, despite the many problems with the QA test build, Deeds, Lots and items were not completely lost.

During the time the team was dealing with the issue, the live servers were down, but the trouble was only just beginning. At the end of September, Portalarium had planned to update Shroud of the Avatar to play release 106, but the best laid plans of Devs and games often go astray, and the patch caused a migration error that required the team restore the database from a backup. Shroud of the Avatar has had a rough go of it over the past month.
