Disaster Strikes in the Black Meadow

You should press charges and sue them for your lost efforts/labor.

Not much I can do except press charges. The kids dad is a good guy and I hate to do that. Ad he is the one that caught his son and friends and turned them in.

I got all my hardware back except the hard drive from my backup comp, it was a 1.2 tb drive. So, no back ups. I lost a lot more stuff that just EQemu server on that drive.

I learned a valuable lesson... back up off site. I will backup to one of my machines at work as a 2nd backup from now on.

On the bright side, I got winxp re-installed and updated and just now went thru the set of EQEMU again so Black Meadow Rising is starting again.

Oh... and one more thing. The kids dad found an Elvis Moody Album on Ebay and ordered it for me.

As for someone who has lost all his hard work before I feel your pain. It sucks and its far worse than that feeling of playing a game for 5 hours, forgetting to save and then the power flickers and you just rage quit. Pick it back up and after all you've learned you'll also have new perspectives to go about introducing new content. Horrible thing that happened, but on a brighter note at least your neighbor is going through lengths to attempt to remedy the situation to the best of his ability. I wish you the best of luck with the reconstruction of your new server.
