It seems last night that when the server went down, the map file was corrupted. This hasn’t happened to us for a long time – and fixing it is out of our control. Once it’s corrupt, it’s corrupt. After assessing the problem and making sure nothing could be down to remedy it, the only solution left was to wipe as our old map is totally corrupt and is unable to start up.

To prevent this from happening in the future we will see about obtaining an extended map backup plugin so we can always revert the changes. While the game saves backups, the corruption happened late when most admins were asleep and unable to remedy the problem immediately and so all backups were to that same corrupt file.

We will work on compensation for all players and offer our sincere apologies, and hope you will continue playing on DeadLaugh.

If you’re upset, please remember we are more upset and hate that we were not able to fix this problem.

Let us know if you have any questions.
