World Visit Stuck - can't go home

My guess is what someone said here, that it's an issue with folder permissions that happened when they did the maintenance. Like a folder ending up set to read only or something and when they tried to fix it the setting wouldn't take. Folder permissions are finicky enough in Windows, but they are even more finicky in Linux. I'm not sure which OS they use on their production servers, but take it from someone who has fiddled about with both, if permission settings go wonky it can really foul things up.

Really gotta wonder why they made this system without a fail safe that would be able to force people's character back to home worlds if ever needed.

This. This a thousand times. There should be a limited way to return to home server.

I guess it depends on the kind of problem it is, especially given the bug is that people can't return home. So a failsafe that returns you home would likely still have the same bug.

Even if such a failsafe existed, how do we know it wouldn't be broken by the same bug?

Exactly.. they have to give us something.. I sent them a ticket wanting a refund. Paying for sub and retainers and not being able to access it is just unacceptable without some kind of refund.

Thisssss^^^^

Exactly.. There are so many ways to prevent this... 15min warning of world transfer shutdown. A failsafe button to return to your homeworld. Block every world transfer except going back into your home world etc...
