Re: Your character data may be damaged.

Maybe all they needed to do was reboot the server (because they do reboot after an update right?) /shrug

Our Apparitions are already stored on a Quantum Hard Drive >_> what more can you ask for?

To TGM, if you haven't tried it already, try logging in today. The version update apparently fixed the problem for me, I'm currently able to log on just fine, and I believe I was getting the same error as you.

I haven't heard anything from SE, my character wasn't rolled back at all, I spawned at the spot where I would've ended up had I not fallen into oblivion 2 weeks ago, so I really think that it was fixed by chance, and not by anything SE did.

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

I work in tech support at a callcenter. You have to realize that if a callcenter agent is pressured that does not mean you get to talk to a supervisor, all you get is them asking a friend they work with or the person who trained them if available to pretend they are the supervisor in order to make the caller feel like they are getting what they want and back off. We do it when needed all the time.

The sad truth is, in the callcenter world, there isn't really anything a supervisor could do for you that one of the agents couldn't. Usually the callcenter is contracted by the company in question to take calls.

This is the truth, I used to work in Nu Skin ent's Call center. It was funny when people would ask for my supervisor because our supervisor's had been off the phone for so long that even if he was available to take the call in all likelyhood he'd be asking me to help him make whatever fix was necessary on the computer. We had a few customers who where worried us peons on the phone would ruin their ten dollar order and would ask a manager to do it, who would inevitably screw up the order because he hasnt had to do that in forever.... Good times.

The fact is, when dealing with a call center, rather then getting upset with the person you spoke to, just thank them for their time, hang up, and call again. In all likelyhood you'll get someone different who may help you even if its against their own protocal.

You'd think SE would learn something from Zegapain and prepare something so characters didn't suffer so much wet damage.

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

After doing a google search for "character data may be damaged", this is pretty much the only thread in existance on any forum anywhere, so I just wanted to add in that I'm going through pretty much the exact same thing as the OP with my character.

Got stuck between zones, then it timed me out to the character select screen and whenever I try to log back in, I get "FFXI-3202 - Your character data may be damaged."

I've been out of the game for almost 2 weeks now, and when I contacted them today I specifically asked them if rolling back my character to the previous server restore point was possible. The response I got word-for-word was:

"That's basically what it is. It is a rollback to a previous one that worked before this error occurred. But since that's an entirely different department, we have to send a request to them to get this issued looked at."

Not 100% sure what that means, but that's what the guy had to say.

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

and why havent they been able to do anything? why dont you jsut call them like crazy over and over and over and over untill they go mad or something?

Because playonline will start doing dumb shit like they did to a friend of mine after he had his account stolen...He called pol and they claimed that his account was stolen, changed servers, and sold on ebay. He called back a few days later and they told him the same thing and there was nothing they could do about it. He called back a few days after that and they said "Oh yeah, no problem." /rollback.exe I was like dude wtf.

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

Well Feba, if someone wants to take the time more power to them. lol

Latest update while I'm here is NO UPDATE. Still the same shit is given to me whenever I call. I've written 2 emails and gotten no response (of course). I am going to write a registered letter soon and see what happens. Good lord just rollback my frickin character! I'll probably lose my Duelist's Chapeau but at this point I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

by the way, TGM, black bars are the new blur. Apparently it isn't that hard to figure out what blurred letters were.

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

So.. what will happen to your character?

[Raydeus]

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

If it makes you feel any better I'd probably never spend points on it and would only get it if it was FFA (no end game activities for me except for Dynamis and I only get resisted Sleep from Demons in Xarcabard so I have no use for it.)

Re: Your character data may be damaged.

I know I got a supervisor the 2nd time.

Oh ya and....



(Fyi, I'm the taru with the shining new Chapeau.)

I got that when we beat Dynamis Tav like 3 days before I couldn't access my character. So ya.....all these years waiting on my Chapeau....watching people get it and quit playing FFXI or quit playing rdm....passing on lotting so others could have it....finally got down to nearly everyone having one so I figured I'd finally take it...........

AND NOW FUCKING THIS!!

Honestly....if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all....

Obviously you never should have lotted on the chapeau. The universe now believes you have completed FFXI and it's time to move on.

You know what, I started to mention earlier that it was possibly somebody pretending....Which would not surprise me at all because of SE's phenomenal tech support. Don't tell anybody else that, and at least you don't tell anyone "I AM THE SUPERVISOR!"
