Gaile Gray & Frog Talk Saturday April 28, 2007
Annotation: There was a bug with the festival from before where the game wasn't saving the information on players who were AFK. So after they would get disconnected, all of their progress would get lost because it hadn't been 'saved'. There wasn't a way to dupe items because trading and using the merchant force a save. They fixed the bug, but it popped up over this most recent event because someone found a way to crash the instance.
Summary
- Nothing new to Mesmer and Ranger buffs nor hair stylists
- Tickets and gold were fully reset, no loss
- Skills and characters won't move to GW2, but some "inheritance" will
