Same issue as above, but I had an actual GM talk to me. I was told to post here in the bug reports about my current issue with as much detail as possible. After the update I joined the Unity stuff right away and I noticed that my Linkshell was turned into a pearl. There were a few others I talked to before the emergency maintenance who also had their sacks turned into pearls. After the emergency maintenance, I contacted a GM right away since the issue wasn't resolved, and I was directed to submit the bug here. Hopefully there will be some form of fix to this soon!
