See here.

While I'm on the subject.....can an MMO be hacked to the point where the providers would have to reset all accounts, thereby deleting all Toons, in order to restore the game to functionality?

I know that such a move would surely result in the end of the game as we know it. There would be no way they could financially recover from such a move, even if it criminally occurred.
That's a scary thought.
But I would start from scratches if I would have to....

Edit: This game has so many extreme haters who would love to see this game dead that everything is possible. I hope BioWare is well protected against things like that.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

I just wanted to throw my two cents in for the "learn to program" and "this should never *ever* happen" crowd.
Personally I don't work in the Gaming / programming sector, but....
In my line of work, I'd never get away justifying that many fck ups with that many apologies.

An oldie but a goodie: get on with it !

Don't let rude people get to you. There are still *some* human beings out there with ya.

I wouldn't. If I lost my level 50 and all the other mid level alts i was working on, I would demand a refund and cancel my sub, because BW/EA could not replace all the time I spent leveling those characters, not to mention the characters themselves.

MOHAA. Check it out here.

Don't know if it's on Steam anymore, but I'm sure you can find it.

No, it would not be possible for someone to fully wipe account data in an irrevocable manner.

Backups are generally made in a read-only manner to avoid exactly such situations. In serious cases, there is a two-level backup going on - there are regular digital backups (where data is transferred to a destination that is not normally accessible for writing, but could be under extreme circumstances) as well as offline backups that can be recovered in the case of a total emergency (usually read-only DVDs that are burned and then transferred to some physically secure location).

Get on planetside 2 beta its certainly simple, the first was a wonderful game with depth of play, the second is brainless zerg fest courtesy of Smedley, to avoid the furor of SWGs changes halfway through its life hes now applying his dream of simplistic, idiotic play to games before launch.
