I know I lost a pair of Tavlars, but the list doesn't give 'red' or 'blue', just numbers... I don't know what creature number the blue tavlar is! Or the pygmys...

I don't know which Pygmy phoenixes I had since they were still eggs, so I'm not really sure what to place for them and all I know was that I had 4 eggs each were of a different colour. So I'm confused at what do for them.

I joined just on April 28 and I seem to have lost all my creatures and gold, the 5 creatures in my keep happen to be the very ones I grabbed from the stream on my first day on magistream.

I don't know how to fill in the form, since I can't remember my exact gold count or all the creatures that I accumulated since then, and I completed a handful of quests as well. I received a ton from kind people during the anniversary gifting and I don't really know/remember what most of the creatures are off the top of my head. >.<

Do I just... guesstimate the numbers/creatures/gold? The only ones I know for sure are the ones I got from the quest and shop.

What if we get the amounts wrong? I'm trying to get as close as possible, but since I'm going off Google Cache pages I don't know if they will be right! I'm not trying to cheat the system or anything, I simple can't remember the exact amounts of the 50+ pygmies I had!

Question: what if I have MORE shards than I'm supposed to have? Where it says shards, should I put -5?

And Tristan... You are amazing.

Tristan wrote:Hello all. Since Saturday morning around 3am eastern time the site was down. It's storage drive broke and I had to drive up to montreal (twice) to replace it with two shiny new hard drives, and I spent all of today salvaging, repairing, recovering, and guesstimating in such a way that I don't think anything was lost.

Now my 17 hour work day is officially over and I am going to bed. I really hope nothing breaks while I sleep. Night.

Edit: We're up for real now, though much was lost. See that big red bar at the top of the screen? Use that. You'll have your stuff back before you know it.
the red bar link dose not work for me.. quite frustrating... I have lost all creatures and money and shards

If you do not remember what you had guestimate as best you can if you can't remember exactly what you had.

If you have too many shards, yes, put a negative number there IF you are requesting the creatures you bought with those shards rather than re-buying them and re-hatching them.

For creature numbers two sites will give you the right order:

http://magistream.wikia.com/wiki/Creature_List
http://magiemeraldhatchery.proboards.co ... 167&page=1

For example: the new Crystal wings are 211 and 212. They are 'sort ordered' per the Wiki site to gold first then purple. So if you lost a gold you'd use 211 and if you lost a purple you'd use 212.

@Firebird: Are you clicking on the words? That's where the link is, if so what browser are you using?

Tristan, undoubtedly you are not going to read this, but I must post it anyway.

With all due respect, your method of recovery seems overcomplicated and oversimplified at once.

For one, people lost dozens of creatures. How are we supposed to click that little plus sign and scroll through a list 200 times? As I've said, and many others have, there is no gender, no color, no generation. I understand if you say, "your family of eight generations is just gone, sorry", but you cannot expect us to take two of whatever you feel like giving us versus the things we had.

I'd very much rather just type out a list than use that thing.

Not to mention it's glitching for everyone.

So, how about just letting us type out lists? Either way, you're going to have to go through a head-ache inducing amount, but I'm not settling for less than I lost, I do apologize.


@Wolf: That's all well and good, but the purple males were the highest sought, and while I'd adore getting a male, some people will not be so happy to get something they didn't have originally.

*pokes* Hey Wolf, may I ask if you know if the order form is working?
Because I've filled it out, and it went to a wonky page. I'm afraid to send it again for repurcussions- and I have no clue if it went through.
I can understand if you don't know. Just curious. ^^
