Wakfu said that its Ogrest server stopped working properly for a day, causing all sorts of data management headaches and a two-hour rollback.
“At 0:39 this morning, the server that persists your characters’ information (inventories, quests, professions, kamas) stopped responding. It became impossible to log in the server, but connected users were still able to play. However, the servers that provided access to the markets was still up and running. This situation caused issues with in-game item management.”
