Eyru Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 There is a way to possibly recover your lost data. Go to Google and type in site: bzpower.com "keyword" Replace keyword with whatever you're searching for, but it keep it within the quotation marks. You can use multiple keywords, which allows you to search for individual pages within topics. For example: site: bzpower.com "le-wahi" "62" In this case, my search would attempt to return the 62nd page in the Le-Wahi topic. Once you've located the page you're searching for, there should be an option on the Google search page to open the cache instead of the actual topic (a cache is a stored copy of the page, which means it isn't affected by the deletion). This should allow you to recover profiles and any posts that were just so dang good you just had to have them back.

Silvan Haven Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 One of these days we will get that thing running again. In all honesty though, it was a good idea and I would love to see it work. Perhaps as some sort of neutral faction trying to get everybody to stop looking like they might stab each other any second. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield.

Krayzikk Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Eh. Faction revivals have been attempted here before, they haven't worked yet.The Song was intended to be a revival of the Kin (the real one, not crazy bigots one), with an evil counterpart to match, but it never got off the ground. The reimagining of Xa-Kuta, for the moment, died with the BZII. I could go on, but y'all see my point.

Silvan Haven Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I know that the Song was, I even got the faction wide telepathy (aka Bloodbrand) from Nuju for it. The Kin was made for a different time and place, trying to bring the same thing here would not work, the fact that the Song did nothing at all after it got formed hardly helped matters. I'm just thinking out loud mostly. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield. If you want to strike at them, you must go through me, and I am not so easily moved."

Silvan Haven Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) The Kin were a major player during the part of the old BZPRPG that took part on Metru Nui. They actually started off in an entirely different RPG, but it got so popular that the staff merged it with the BZPRPG. Many of the players from when it was around have rather fond memories of the faction and have tried to bring it back at least once. If you want to know more about it then you might want to take a look at this. http://bzpower.wikia.com/wiki/Kin_%28BZPRPG%29 The old BZPRPG wiki is full of the remains of amazing stories and if somebody references something that you don't get it might be a good place to look.

Silvan Haven Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm fairly certain that EW's comment was a joke so, no going back to flying islands and laser barrages. Ignoring the past few months does not seem to make all that much sense. The posts may be gone for the most part, but most people have a decent idea of a what is going on with the big plots.

Nuju Metru Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 I am a remarkably busy man at this moment. As such, I don't have time to explain the answer to the loss of two months' posted content as thoroughly as I want to - as thoroughly as I intend to - at present. I'm going to need more time to work, and I hope you will all be patient with me, because I can't reopen the game just yet. I can, however, assuage the concerns that have been voiced above about us repeating or replaying the lost months. I can tell you guys that we won't be repeating the two months we lost, two months that were fraught with inactivity, inter-player bitterness, and general frustration among the player base as far as I could tell. To go back in time would only make those things worse, and I personally see no value in repeating what is essentially ancient history. Instead of moving backwards, we are going to move forwards. In the coming days, I am going to initiate a timeskip into the near future of the BZPRPG world. The status quo on the island will be rather different than when last we saw it, and game elements that you as players have been waiting for will finally be introduced. The timeskip will involve the creation of unseen and updated location topics, an addition to the first post of this topic, and the introduction of new character possibilities. When these elements are all prepared, I will reopen gameplay. Personally, I am very excited about our chance to begin again, one chapter forward in the great arc of this universe. I hope you will all embrace the opportunities that our misfortunes have presented us with, too, and reenter this game with the spirits of camaraderie and joy. For the interim, you may continue post in this topic to speculate and whatnot about the changes that'll be made, or post in profiles to restore/update your characters, but DO NOT POST IN THE LOCATION TOPICS. These will be closed in the near future, but before that happens, please don't make my job harder. I'll be hard at work in my free time on the things I need to write and revise; if you have any questions (that aren't seeking details about the world after the timeskip!), feel free to PM them to me, and I'll do my best to answer in a timely fashion. Since it'd be better for all of us if I'm not distracted, though, you'd probably be better off directing inquiries to either EmperorWhenua or to Tyler Durden, who was promoted to BZPRPG staff during the downtime. Thanks everyone for your patience; within the week, I hope we'll be up and running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvan Haven Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Congratulations Tyler, you deserve it. I'm guessing that the Dasaka are going to have become a faction by the end of the timeskip. It would allow players to do what we were promised a while ago and play as them. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield.

EmperorWhenua Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) BTW, guys, I do joke a bit -- the Aesetr Derrum quip being an example of that. However, if you come to me with a direct question I will gladly answer to the best of my ability. In real life, I got a full time job and my time online is limited to evenings, but when I still lurk here (for now) and linger on Skype. If there are any really pressing matters, a couple people have my phone number and you can ask me things through them. (No, I'm not giving you all my number. ) Tyler, Visaru and Eyru are the main resources for that and they are authorized to hit me up any time.

Voxumo Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Hmm.. Well this will prove interesting.. Though i am curious about something.. Before the downtime Onu-koro was going through a rather big plot involving the brotherhood of Ak'rei'an, the Ussalry and to a much lesser extent the one rogue brotherhood member syvra.. I am curious how that would play out. Would we just assume the brotherhood was able to get to blackrock without any real casualties, or will it be something else? Surprisingly this is my only real concern since A: Vrina was merely drinking in the Lavapool inn.B: Tivanu had just left the 'Him' group since it was inactiveC: Voulge was merely sitting in conference with the rest of the potentially new Virtues team and no progress had been made on the fieldSo yeah three of my four characters i can roll with this new arc when it comes around.. Syvra is my only concern since his life is in constant threat by the brotherhood.. So yeah just food for thought.
