What can be learned from these glitches is that around the time neopets has been down or lagging that you have to be careful with your stuff! Don't move them around so much, don't put items of big worth in and out your SBD or shop or trades a lot. I know that since this is internet, every time you give a command there's a chance it goes wrong. So limit the number of commands you give involving valuable items, especially when neopet is lagging or glitchy. F.i. if you have a paintbrush, then use it, store it or sell it. Just don't handle it too much.

But, see that's just the thing. It wasn't glitchy whatsover last Friday, Saturday, or most of Sunday. And didn't get glitchy until late Sunday night. And, as soon as it did get glitchy, I didn't move things around. Yet, that didn't matter one whit because the SDB rolled back to Friday. So, how was I able to predict that this time the glitch would hit the SDB's--a place that had never been hit with a rollback before?
And, since, in the past year, we have seen rollbacks and horrible glitches in every place that items are kept--shops, SDBs, trading post, and auctions, there is no safe place to keep stuff anymore.
So, yes, it is good advice not to move things around when the site is glitchy, but unless you are a mindreader, that doesn't help at all when Neo decides to do a rollback.

Well, I lost just a few things, codestones and a couple bottled dark faeries I'd gotten and stashed in my sdb for training. I note that I lost some battle stuff I'd just equipped on that pet too, but nothing uber expensive . I know my RL friend lost, she thinks, just a halloween goodie bag. She had actually bought it to send to me for my gallery (she's so nice).
So, we were both actually very lucky. That and the fact that I spend alot of np about 2 weeks ago on a skunk pb for my newest pet and all I've realy been doing since then is play games, put him in training, buy a codestone, go back and play some more games, buy a faerie and/or codestone. Meaning I'm not right now a high priced item player. I'll just have to play the extra (thank you for that!) games to try to recoup and when things are cool, buy them again I guess.
I do agree, if things are getting weird or "glitchy", it seems the best thing to do is -- nothing. Don't move any items, at least not with quickstock, and if you have something really expensive I guess try stashing it in your shop?
I'm only worried about all the "glitchiness" because it's Friday. Weekends were for a long time notorious for being crazy, usually starting Friday night and not ending until sometime Monday. So be careful, unless you really need to buy something (like for a quest), don't go shopping, be careful how/where you move any items if you move them at all. It may also be kinder to the system right now, since it looks like things are still be worked on. It sure isn't "stable" as was said in the News:
Something big with "horrible technical problems" especially on a site as large as Neo, well, it is going to take probably a few days to get things back on track. I do hope that somehow people do get their items/np back - at least part of them if not all of them. I feel really bad for people who lost alot and I feel bad for the folks at TNT, this can't be easy for them either. And no one can predict something like this, if they could, I'm sure they would have done something to try to avert it. The only thing that it seems should have been done was a better backup/redundancy implemented so people didn't lose things. Unless of course a server simply completely crashed - then no backup would save anything because there'd be no backup.
Me? Think I'll just stick to playing some games at least for the weekend - no training, no shopping; and I'm going to advise my friend to do the same when she logs onto the site tonight.

Sorry, we have been struggling all day with horrible technical problems but the site is finally back! We apologise for all the problems, everything should be a lot more stable from now on though.

I lost some stuff in my Safety Deposit Box and I cant put anything else in it.
Fri Nov 19, 2004 6:52 pm
I just posted to the "Trading Post" thread, as that is STILL not fixed,
I was asking there too, we dont have neoboard access, but does anyone read those boards, and if so is there anything being mentioned over there by TNT that could let us know what is going on with all of this.
When will things be restored properly, why are members being kept in the dark about all this? ...
Thanks in advance,

I lost a secret lab map piece I won through a random event the day before. I politely gave all my details of what had happened and about three days ago I got it back. This is the first time I've lost something through a glitch. I'm very happy I had my item returned. Good luck on having all of yours returned.
