As you will all no doubt be aware, your old accounts have vanished, along with those of your friends, loved ones, and many enemies.
Unfortunately this afternoon I came online to fix some things, and clicked the wrong box in the database.
I didn't realise it at the time, but I was soon to be filled with horrow when Chief got in touch to ask 'What is going on?'
I had deleted the full Gangster Game database.
This included all your accounts, and pretty much anything you have done on GG since October last year (including some of the fixes I had added).
While I frantically looked for the backups, I was to quickly find for some reason the backup script hasn't been running since we moved to the new server (yay)!
This left me wondering whether we might have lost all of Gangster Game and all the work I've done for good.
Thankfully there was a small light at the end of the tunnel.
I managed to find a backup of the database from when we moved to the new server back in October. (isn't it great I never delete anything...  ).
So we were able to save the game, but unfortunately without your accounts.
While I realise this will come as a blessing for some people who wanted a reset, or a new start, there is no hiding away from the fact I fucked up, and lost a lot of your hard work.
For this I am truly sorry, and can only offer my most sincere apologies.
It seems that whether we like it or not, Gangster Game has had a full reset, and everyone now has an even chance of reaching the top, creating a crime ring, or killing their old enemies.
I hope you will continue to play and enjoy the game for all that it is.
I realise many of you lost out on DC's that you had purchased up to a few weeks before today's fuck up. For that I will be offering everyone some nice goodies to get you all started over the next week or so.
Once again, I am sorry, and I hope we can let bygones be bygones and start a new, better version of GG together.

A demonstration of a lack of care and attention to the site

Hardly Gallucio,
Quite the opposite in fact.
I have been sat here for hours trying to get this up and running.
That is hardly a lack of care and attention.

Admin - if you'd checked the database backups were being taken then you wouldnt be having to fix it now? of course its a care and attention issue.
