Bizarrely I am not even that bothered that I have lost it all. I am lucky in that I got the achievements and have the evidence of that, and the memories of how I felt. when I made that 4000th post knowing I had just achieved the ultimate award.
But... I feel really really bad for those who were just a few hundred posts away from achieving their goals, all that effort for nothing. :'(
I am now officially on holiday.The first break I have had with no work at all in about 20 months. I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to this!
When I woke up this morning my news feed was full of people saying that the database was down and they'd lost all their levels and game stats.
I never really set much store by levels as a staff member, but as a player I was gutted and rushed right into game to see if mine were reset. Thankfully they are fine but it made me realise how out of touch I was with being a player when I was staff. Only took 6 months - eek!
I know I always did my best for both players and other staff members as a staff member but I wish I'd remembered what it actually felt like to be a player and scared that something could go wrong 'just like that' and you could lose everything you'd worked for, and put more effort into reassuring people. I'm sure it would have helped me be a better moderator.
[PLEASE NOTE - This is my view of me and my work, and is not representative of any/all staff members, current or past]
How long are your terms? Here they are generally between 12 and 16 weeks and half term is a week off in the middle of that, so you have 7 or 8 weeks then a week off then 7 or 8 weeks school again. then a slightly longer holiday befoe it all starts again
Don't the flaming pumpkins only appear in game? I don't have the block morph so I don't know if you can use it in game or not, but I would imagine not as you can't use other morphs in game.
