Heh, you must have a lot more patient players than we do, if you can say that

Then again, I'd say it depends on the nature of the game. If the focus is on roleplay, then out-of-date pfiles possibly wouldn't matter all that much. But 4D has a strong amount of hack'n'slash and is very competitive. A lot can happen in one day, if the player is active, so to our players even the loss of one days exp and equipment would matter a lot.

Luckily we do backup player files nightly, so all they lost was 3 days downtime, until we got on the new server. It may be 'just a game', but we take it seriously - and so do our players.

The_logos is right, players do care, and they do deserve some respect.
